Adolis off, Huff DH. 

[Elmer_Fudd 22,956]

Surprised Adolis is off.  Small sample, but he's 2-2 off the A's starter tonight with a HR.

[shadow_operative2.0 16,181]

Hey, their 1B pulled a Nate. 

[Elmer_Fudd 22,956]

Fixing to get ugly

[DigDug 1,735]

A's bunting?  I thought bunting you're just giving them outs.  Just pick it up, they're just giving you outs

[SameSame 1,745]

Perez is kinda pitching like an asshole.  He should stop doing that.

[Elmer_Fudd 22,956]

Could've been a lot worse.  Martin needs to get his shit together.

[Elmer_Fudd 22,956]

What a waste of a chance for a big inning.

[SameSame 1,745]

Set up nice now, don't waste this one also.

[shadow_operative2.0 16,181]

Way to protect that lead, 'teen. 

[Elmer_Fudd 22,956]

This has the makings of a frustrating loss.

[Fudbelty 2,801]

Nobody fucking say it.

Teen getting smoked. (Don’t google that)

[shadow_operative2.0 16,181]

Thanks 3B, may as well have let that roll. 

[shadow_operative2.0 16,181]

Look at Robbie answering the haters.

Has anybody ever done a VPN to watch on the MLB app on Apple TV?

I’m trying to figure that out.

I got a preconfigured router from ExpressVNP 3 years ago and it works like a charm. I don't go through Apple TV though. You just piggy back it off the regular router and connect your TV/device to the VPN wireless. I sign in all the time on my regular network, see the blackout l, switch the network and no problem. MLB doesn't seem to care.

I live in Atlanta so no blackout issue on MLB.TV for me normally, but my wife loves shows on the BBC networks that you can’t get in the States so she’s been using NordVPN for 2 years and no issues. I’m in Lubbock for a few days and have been using it to watch the Rangers through some IP in Iowa or where the fuck ever and no issues at all; watching now…

[shadow_operative2.0 16,181]

We couldn't hit Josh or Brad for Bubba there against the righty? 

[shadow_operative2.0 16,181]

Jesus fuck. 

[Elmer_Fudd 22,956]

That was pathetic Grossman.

[shadow_operative2.0 16,181]

Adolis must be banged up, forgot he could have hit there too. 

[shadow_operative2.0 16,181]

God-fucking-damnit. 

[shadow_operative2.0 16,181]

Not great, JHern. 

[Pato del Muerto 53,331]

Aside from the hitting issues tonight, the pitching has been unable to get the kid that came in hitting 0.098 out. 3 hits and I think all led to runs. 

[shadow_operative2.0 16,181]

Please score here.

Forgot we blew the lead.

[shadow_operative2.0 16,181]

So they were going to hit Adolis for Huff, but not fucking Bubba with 2nd & 3rd, no outs? Can he not throw or something? 

[shadow_operative2.0 16,181]

Kotsay has used his entire bench. 

[shadow_operative2.0 16,181]

Whew. 

Now get the goddamn zombie runner in first. 

[shadow_operative2.0 16,181]

Now he fucking wakes up, I swear. 

[shadow_operative2.0 16,181]

Well. would you look at that. 2nd & 3rd, IF in, you don't let coed Bubba hit. Fuck. 

[shadow_operative2.0 16,181]

And now you can have a decent inning because the auto-weak GO is out of the way. 

[shadow_operative2.0 16,181]

Welp, gonna blow the 2-run lead too. 

[shadow_operative2.0 16,181]

Very fucking fitting. 

 

Everyone gets blame for that shit.

why does he remain in the lineup?

[shadow_operative2.0 16,181]

At least he’s not on defense today. 

[Wally Pryor 5,388]

That is the biggest man I've ever seen sitting.behind and to the left of home plate. 

[texastroubadour 1,252]

Grossman is useless and should not be in the lineup

[shadow_operative2.0 16,181]

With Heim off, your other 3 options are Bubba/Brad/Huff, they're all worse offensively. He certainly shouldn't be hitting 2. Come Monday it won't matter much, Zeke will play a lot of LF. 

[shadow_operative2.0 16,181]

We're on FS1 for those without Bally.

Haven't watched much yet this season gonna flip it on after the Horns game.

[shadow_operative2.0 16,181]

Holy fuck, that was a sick catch.

Hopefully when Seager returns, LF/DH is mostly a Duran/Smith combo.  But I'm betting we still get a lot of Grossman in the lineup.  Miller seems to be getting about one AB a week these days.  

If Garver ever returns and stays healthy, this becomes a deep lineup with him at DH and Duran in LF.

[shadow_operative2.0 16,181]

Jank will be back before Garver, that will also cut into the LF mix. 

[Elmer_Fudd 22,956]

OK, time to put up a crooked number, this guy's a bum.

[Elmer_Fudd 22,956]

This Ruiz guy for the A's is a pain to deal with.

Gray pulling an Eovaldi. 

[texastroubadour 1,252]

Another Grossman strike out 

[shadow_operative2.0 16,181]

Dude has 5 posts on this entire thread of a 23-15 team, all 5 about one player. That's pretty pathetic.
