C'mon blow this game open.

Sox are own worst enemy at times.

2 runs, but seems like they kept the A's in the game.

2-0 but f*** guys! Come on need more than that especially in this house of horrors

Like Hawk said, 4 guys came up with bases loaded and we only scored 2 runs.. Not good

 

At least we got some runs for Rodon early though.

Disappointing inning all things considered.

2 runs only............ I guess they will think that is enough and not score again tonight. You can tell we are in Oakland.

Avi and Ramirez are both really f***ing dumb hitters.

Ease up guys. It's Rodon time

Avi and Ramirez are both really f***ing dumb hitters.

Avi swinging at the first pitch was disappointing.

2 runs is a nice first inning.

Carlos, try and catch less of the plate.

4 outs into game before Hawk mentioned Rowand's defensive series in NY!

I hope Rodon uses some change ups this game. Does anyone know his change up speed usually?

Ok, things could be worse, our leadoff hitter could be hitting .030.

Hit the ball there all night dead zone

Rowand may not have an exciting delivery but his color commentary is pretty good. He'll get better with experience.

Trading Semien was so dumb.

Semien still striking out .........Nice.

Trading Semien was so dumb.

Is that sarcasm because he struck out? It was dumb.

Oh yay, this idiot is the home plate umpire tonight.

I'm fine with the trade. Shark needs to get his s*** going. I'll take the 2-0 better than no runs at all.

Is that sarcasm because he struck out? It was dumb.

 

For a "saber oriented" poster you sure do like to have fun with selective endpoints.

Damn, thought Rodon was going to have a clean fast inning.

For anyone sick of Hawk and don't care for Rowand, the As announcers are doing a great job analyzing Rodon.
