LETS MAKE IT 2 IN A ROW!!!

Gimenez deserves to start ahead of Flowers. I hope the only reason he's not starting today is because he just caught sixteen innings yesterday. That said, he should be starting tomorrow and most of the time from now on until they get another catcher.

Four lefties throwing for us this series.

 

It'll be interesting how the A's make their lineups this weekend considering Bob Melvin uses his bench a lot.

 

First time we will throw 4 lefties in a row since 1980.

Are you related to AJ? Possibly one of the biggest athlete man crushes I've ever seen.

AJ who?

Yes, a catcher catching 16 innings yesterday is a pretty good reason to sit him today.

I agree. I just hope that he's back as the starting catcher tomorrow. Flowers has been terrible, and Gimenez has outplayed him in every facet of the game.

A 9 pitch first inning is a great way to start it for Quintana

Can't say it's a surprise that the park is empty

Anybody else having trouble with MLB atbat?

22 pitches thru 2 for Q

8 pitch inning for Straily

Yes can't get to load. No access to mlbtv either.

Glad I am not the only one. Pisses me off when that happens

Don't worry, once this gets to the 13th inning, the offense will wake up.

Bad time to state that Phegley hit another home run tonight? Flowers is total garbage right now.

Beckham is getting on base a lot it seems like

Big crowd tonight. odd

Yeah, when I said it was empty, that was before I saw the packed outfield!!

The outfield should be packed for the rest of the month. PatioParty groupons for $40.

Nobody talking about us scoring 3 runs in one inning?????!?!?

 

It sucks that mlbtv isn't working

Beckham is getting on base a lot it seems like

The key will be when he goes bad, and everyone does, is if he can limit the damage. When he has gone bad the last few seasons, he has stayed bad a long time.

Dunn fouls out swinging on three oh. Sigh.
