[KilgoreTrout]

Huge win, even if it wasn’t THAT easy. Glad I didn’t tune in for the 9th.

Not to mention the 15 second rule. He takes anywhere from 23 to 43 seconds to deliver.

he seems to have gotten thru the new grease rule.....

 

[xmasbuck]

btw, is Sandlin still up in the bullpen?

Tito:

Sam has really been making a difference lately, pitching later in games.

Not worried about sending messages, just wants to win games.

Maybe get Zen with Kwan and Benson ....

I didn't want him in there for the 9th especially after Friday. But, he worked through it. Just rather have had both him and Steph go 15-20 pitches so they could both go tomorrow -- or even go DeSantos after 1-2 batters by Steph.

With Pilk and Morris going next 2 games, we need a rested bullpen. Clase needs some rest but good to go tomorrow. Hentges with 14 pitches is also good to go.

 

[Meatwad]

A's tie it up 2-2 in the 5th with the sox

 

[Lee]

Tied up in Oakland, runners on, 1 out

 

[Meatwad]

Make that 4-2

 

[Lee]

4-2, bad guys down

 

[Meatwad]

Lets gooo

 

[Meatwad]

Gotta love the chi sox fielding. Drop an inning ending pop up, A's tack on two more.

7-2 A's

 

[CATS44]

Its now 7-3 with Oakland batting in the sixth.

The last two Oakland runs were courtesy of...what else...an foul pop error right before a Laureano two run swat.

 

[CATS44]

8-3 on a solo home run.

“He kind of created his own jam, but fortunately he got out of it,” Francona said of Karinchak. “After Carl (Willis) made the visit it looked like he started angling his fastball down a lot better.”

8 of the last 13 games vs Twins have been decided by 1 run.
