May 17, 201510 yr Avi! Danks! Robo! Get the Oakland trip out of the way with some wins and you can consider it a good season, lol!
May 17, 201510 yr QUOTE (Alexeihyeess @ May 16, 2015 -> 11:14 PM) WE WON A SERIES IN OAKLAND When's the last time that's happened? And both one run games too. You'd think something bad would have happened in those games for us to lose.
May 17, 201510 yr What percentage of our wins have been come-from-behind victories? Four in a row feels good. Make it five (hundred) tomorrow!
May 17, 201510 yr 16-13 since the 0-4 start. Unvelievable considering the horrible everything. This team might be real damn good.
May 17, 201510 yr Good God, the A's are 1-13 in one run games. Their run differential is -1. This is a snakebitten team.
May 17, 201510 yr Big start from Danks after Rodon wet the bed last night. Hope Shark can go 7-8 tomorrow.
May 17, 201510 yr 4 games in a row. 4 series in a row. Hope Shark wants to show his old team up tomorrow for trading him. Keep this s*** up!

Games like tomorrow's is the reason why we got Shark. He needs to come up big with a good start. Not s*** the bed like he did in Milwaukee.
May 17, 201510 yr On a side note...so are we going to give the indians quad lefties? Edit. Which is awesome cuz it seems like their whole team is lefty. Go Sox! Edited May 17, 201510 yr by Jerksticks
May 17, 201510 yr Anyone else worried about Robertson? He doesn't seem nearly as sharp lately. Also can't have Shark throw his standard 50 pitches through 2 innings tomorrow, we need our starters to go long into games without an off-day the rest of the month.

Also can't have Shark throw his standard 50 pitches through 2 innings tomorrow, we need our starters to go long into games without an off-day the rest of the month. Being not very familiar with him, if I'm thinking like you, I remember seeing that insane rising cutter he had in his Sox debut and thinking WOW. His stuff right now doesn't appear as "insane", but his heart is in it right now and that's all you can ask for until that insane stuff hopefully returns. If it does, I don't imagine he will blow many, if any, saves. As an aside, this is the kind of game baseball fans watch. That at bat by Avi was just excellent. I know there's been a lot of talk about his BABIP, but he really looks like an extremely talented hitter, and confident to boot. I think we have a special hitter on our hands. Danks and Chavez alike both battled through an umpire with a weird strike zone. All night, I couldn't tell if the guy would call it a strike or ball. Great performances by both pitchers. But a big shout out to Eaton, Melky, Mr. Abreu and Avi for getting the job done on offense. Also a shout out for Conor for that shot right to the first basemen with 1st and 3rd, no out. Tough luck.

He got the four out save and threw some nasty pitches still. Also, every other reliever sucked today, not Robertson. Duke sucked. Petricka sucked and Jennings sucked. Robertson was the one savior. Four out save. Great win. Top five guys in the order got a lot of hits. Danks is quite a grinder. Great great performance on the road. Robin is shutting a lot of us up. He survived the lousy stretch and since he got taken to task by the front office is looking like a real manager. Edited May 17, 201510 yr by greg775
May 17, 201510 yr 3 earned runs in 14 innings for the waiver wire material 5th starter, keep up the good work Danksy!
May 17, 201510 yr There are still only three hitters hitting near or above expectations, and one of those is Beckham who isn't playing every day.
May 17, 201510 yr QUOTE (ron883 @ May 17, 2015 -> 01:25 AM) Carlos Sanchez is gold glove material. Anybody remember 83? Sound similar? Bernazard is at second, good hitter not so good defender. In comes julio cruz to stabilize the defense and give a spark? Just saying a lil move here and there can turn a season around....

All of the sudden his mechanics look really good. His fastball is touching 90-91, and he is staying on top of and through his change up. The change is finishing low in the zone on a consistent basis.

No. He was going to regress at some point. Absolutely nothing to worry about.
