Why do I have to think that?

Or is this a reverse jinx?

Unfortunately, he was right.

[twinsnorth49]

20 scoreless innings in a row? Sort of I guess, but there it goes.

Way to go, give yourself a big pat on the back.....GOTN.

[twinsnorth49]

Unfortunately, he was right.

GOTN

Hughes is too hittable. 

 

What happened to the strikeouts? His only strikeout was a called one. 

[AlwaysinModeration]

You have to think the Twins score pretty soon here.

[stringer bell]

All right. Bottom of the order needs to get it going.

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Hughes is too hittable. 

 

What happened to the strikeouts? His only strikeout was a called one.

 

He also has at least a couple "foul ground" freebie outs tonight. Big foul territory in Oakland, it's no joke.

[Halsey Hall]

Roserio saved us a run there.  We need a poof popup with carry to tie this one up. 

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Not a bad catch by Rosario there...

 

Hicks tries to bring that one back into the yard, but alas, to no avail...

 

1-0 Oakland, and still battin'...

There will be a new thread tomorrow, titled, "Hicks shoulda caught that"

[drock2190]

A's looking to better their terrible 1 run game record tonight

[AlwaysinModeration]

If a team has two Billy's, does that make them a Billy club?

[JB_Iowa]

Well, the top of the 8th was unproductive.

[AlwaysinModeration]

Hmmm....Dozier second up in the 9th.

[DiscGolfer]

more Dozier heroics in the 9th to come

Boyer in. May not be a one-run game after the eighth.

[AlwaysinModeration]

Quick, who has walked more batters this year, Boyer or Hughes?

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Dislike.

Take Boyer out immediately.

Bring on the LOOGY!

I hate it when fans boo pick off moves, no matter how excessive they are. To me, someone should measure the amount of boos per stadium to rank the stupidest fans. Oakland's fans are noted for their intelligence, but I don't believe it.

[AlwaysinModeration]

Gameday has ORourke listed as a RHP

[JB_Iowa]

Remembering that first inning. Ugh.

[AlwaysinModeration]

Never mind, they fixed it.

Oh they'll find out about O'Rourke soon enough

I've never understood why fans boo the pick off move

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Alright we go to the 9th. Chief isn't here so I'll say it:

 

 

In play, run(s) please.

[AlwaysinModeration]

So....Arcia coming in to PH for Escobar, right?
