Baker is such a shitty manager

[Guadaloopy 10923]

He won’t be back for the 9th.  Top of the order coming up.  Keep the score where it is and walk em off.

I’ve been beaned numerous times. They take the wind out of you on a good (bad) one. The worst was actually “a lucky pop” because it was mid 90’s into upper thigh muscle (best option under the circumstances. However, the pain was immeasurable, and my leg went dead for a good 20 minutes) Unless you’ve been “properly beaned” it makes it difficult to tell about it and get the misery across to those that haven’t. It is something you have to go through to really appreciate the suck.

Reddick was 5 for 15 against Hendriks.  Not a bad play by Dusty.  Now bringing James back form more than one inning is a different story.  

[Gourmand 7774]

i don't follow the logic of PH for Machete there with Reddick.

[Rockethorn1978 6061]

Today might not be our day. Keep it to two runs and see what we got in the bottom of the 9th.

[Rockethorn1978 6061]

Scrubb isn’t a good name to run out when you need to keep it a two run game.

[Scraps 13542]

Nasty as fuck by Scrubb

Are you implying he may wait too long to make obvious changes? Sometimes I think he’s nodding off.

Were any of those ABs pinch hitting? Especially coming into the shade like that. Another poor decision by Baker.

I disagreed with pinching for Machete.

Unless he's hurt, otherwise that's just being too fucking cute, just because.

He may have been all we could get and it shows

[Scraps 13542]

Top of the order....letsssss goooooo

[elfenix 34171]

Time to walk em off

[perfectchaos007 6596]

Lets at least get a couple on base to make this exciting

Right, and I'm not saying it's determinative of anything, I just didn't really understand it because Machete isn't terrible with the bat, Reddick isn't Yordan, and in the event the game went to extras, you don't want to have already wasted a C and a PH.

Let's go, guys.  2 runs at least, but 3 would be even better.

I’m in this camp.

[TexArcher 37508]

Come on, fellas.  You win this and you start feeling like a team of destiny.

[Scraps 13542]

Quit with this backstop cam fucking TBS

[TexArcher 37508]

I believe they said Hendricks' career high for pitches was 29.

He had 26 at the start of this inning.

 

[Scraps 13542]

Lets make LIGHTGATE a thing and win this fucking game

That's incorrect

[perfectchaos007 6596]

I don't like how Springer is limping after that strikeout 

[Scraps 13542]

Uhhh please don't be hurt Springer

[TonyTexas 10482]

At least we won’t have to deal with Hendriks tomorrow. 

[utxmike05 1825]

Jeezus guys. Leaving meat over the plate. Swingggfgg

Butt inning was butt.

Dusty Baker lost that game.

[perfectchaos007 6596]

We scored our runs across 2 innings while the A's scored theirs across 6 different innings

[Gourmand 7774]

Fucking Josh mfn James

[David Dennison 18656]

Any idea who starts tomorrow?

Well he won the first four, soooo

[runthebone 7932]

Well, get your shit together, bullpen.

[Scraps 13542]

They are playing games with the Greinke situation, but I think it will be Javier.

Fingers crossed for really good Javier.

Bullpen game!

[Guadaloopy 10923]

Have now lost five in a row as the home team in the playoffs. 
 

 

[Scraps 13542]

Bullpen game!

That was today....moose out front shoulda told ya

 

[clapclapclap 9000]

Well it would have been shocking for this pitching staff to sweep a team as good as Oakland.  Overall the pitching has overperformed in the post-season, and still have needed the bats to bail them out at times.  Returning to the mean a bit today.  Can still win this, but I think the A's are favored unless we get a start out of Greinke.  Too many pitching injuries, amazing that they've gotten to this position.

[IDIOTsavant 8445]

Never trust a man with two first or two last names, and Dusty ran Josh James and Brooks Raley out for multiple innings each....

[Scraps 13542]

Montas for OAK

Melvin knows Fiers would fucking breakdown mentally out there

[Scraps 13542]

You Dusty haters act like we got 7 Mariano Riveras in the pen. He is trying to not burn the fuck out of every arm and win games.

But let your hate flow. Yall already had yalls mind made up with that in March anyway.

[Rockethorn1978 6061]

Yea he has to have the worst collection of arms to run out ever. I wouldn't want the job of picking between 3-4 guys you know all have the ability to give up 5 runs in 1 pitch which should be humanly impossible but not with our guys.

[runthebone 7932]

It's shitty to score that many runs and lose.  Well, we just have to score more tomorrow.

Here's a fun fact: Cristian Javier was 5-2 on the season.

Guess who the two were.
