Not excusing the relievers, but JV shouldn’t have faced Trout.

Why not.........did you want Sipp facing him?  Nobody else was up besides our BP pitcher, Harris.

Not Sipp or Harris.

so Harris throws the pitch that allows three runners to score and his era goes down.  Go figure. 

gotta narrow the gap between his own ERA and that of Verlander/Sipp 

it looks better in arbitration that way 

[m240]

time to chip away boys we have them right where we want them..

[koolade2]

Show me where it matters the Offense isn't showing up today. They never do at Home.

[blcoach8]

have no fear...........Correa bat this inning.

[unionstation82]

Heaney is dominating. I’m still mad at how the final line ended up for Verlander.

[bannedfan]

Correa should bat 8th or 9th.

[astrosdoug]

The only guys who have hit consistently well at MMP this year are White, Bregman, Kemp, and Altuve.

Got to bunch that quartet together in the batting order and hope they can string something together.

Today, Kemp isn't even in the lineup and while Bregman and Altuve hit back-to-back, they are separated from White in the batting order by the presence of Correa.

Marwin has no business starting a home game when Kemp is available.

[koolade2]

They continue to make 4+ ERA Pitchers look like this year version of Cy. There really doesn't seem to a sense of urgency. They only won yesterday by a HR in the 9th by White. There was no showing of Offense to put doubt in the A's.

[blcoach8]

Got up for the A's series and won it......now, it's back to the same old crap at home. Great way to celebrate AJ's new contract. They are mailing in this game..........Correa has mailed in the whole damn season. I wish he would keep his ass at hone with hoochie mama so somebody who gives a shit can play.

[Saint]

They look worn out from the A's series, sort of.

[m240]

Correa's ops in the second half is about half of what is was in the first half, literally almost 900 in the first half, about 440 in the second half.

Hinch will never do that just like he will never mover Springer out of the Leadoff.  Its like he is afraid of hurting the very little teeny weenie feelings.

[koolade2]

I see Hinch has given up on the game by keeping Harris in.

I agree, Hinch thinks if he changes the batting order that he is not showing support for the players.  Never mind that Correa is killing the team.

[koolade2]

Has a reporter question Hinch on the Home Record and keeping Springer and Correa in their spots in the Lineup.

Good move......no need to burn our good relievers when the offense is going through the motions.  Let Will stay out there and get hammered to save the others.

If they asked, he wouldn't tell them.

He really needs to tell the both of them Grow a Pair and start playing ball.  Neither one is producing for the spot they are in.  It's like Hinch thinks they will snap out of it and start producing when it hasn't happened all year long.

Seattle leading Oakland 5-0 top of 2nd at Oakland.

[koolade2]

I've never seen a team that either everyone gets hits and on base and scores or the whole team takes dive like in Boxing when the fix is in and the boxer takes a dive.

[bannedfan]

Trout hit that liner at 114 mph.

Astros blow another chance to increase the lead by sleeping thru another Home Game

[ɮօʀȶǟʐ]

Preston Wilson is really good at what he does on TV.

[bannedfan]

Coming into tonight’s loss, in the last 30 games...

Yuli .216 average.
Reddick .214 average.

[astrosdoug]

Devo couldn't even get outs in the PCL.

This whole exercise is just to prove to Luhnow that Devo has no place on the postseason roster.

The Yankees acquired outfielder Andrew McCutchen from the Giants for two prospects, according to ESPN's Buster Olney.

[bannedfan]

This is embarassing. Fans are due a refund.

Of course, they did.  Luhnow is too afraid to let go of one of his precious little non producing Prospects.  When it is plain to see that this year version of the offense is below par.

[koolade2]

And on par Springer hits into the third DP of the Game. Oh well, no big deal.
