Yeah Castro!!!

[Darius]

Can’t believe they’re still letting that bum Sano play.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

SANO!!!

Ya know, that's not far from where i sat the one time i was at the Coliseum...

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Take that, taters

ftfy

[twinssporto]

I love 2 run rallies with two outs.

[wabene]

Yo yo Sano!!

[bighat]

This park always looks just huge on TV - same with Toronto. I always have to do a double-take when they reference those two stadiums as "hitters parks".

Bunxton... Buntxon... Buntox? Nah.

 

I'll figure it out by the time he does...

[wabene]

Miguel must have had a conversation with Mr Louis Cyphre, bout time I say!

I love 3 run rallies with three outs...

 

Or i'm sure i would if i saw one.

 

(a bases clearing almost triple?)

[twinkiesfan11]

What in the hell is that god awful cowbell at the coliseum?!?

[sampleSizeOfOne]

My...

 

I have no idea how people pronounce names sometimes...

[a-wan]

Is it a cow bell this person is wailing way at in the background?

 

It is almost as grating as listening to Bert.

 

Please - never mind. He walked the guy with a 300 OBP.

[DiscGolfer]

They should've sent Sano down to AAA 2 weeks ago to work on his swing down there.

[Danchat]

It's not an Odorizzi start if it doesn't take more than 40 innings to get through the second inning!

[sampleSizeOfOne]

For the Oaklands: 

Psst- LF and C sure look familiar....

 

Oakland A's (46-39)

 

Marcus Semien, SS

Matt Chapman, 3B

Matt Olson, 1B

Khris Davis, DH

Mark Canha, RF

Ramón Laureano, CF

Robbie Grossman, LF

Chris Herrmann, C

Franklin Barreto, 2B

Daniel Mengden, RHP (2-1, 4.03 ERA)

Grossman?

Herrmann?

 

These names seem familiar...

[a-wan]

The combination of this cowbell in the background plus the human rain delay Odorizzi is driving me insane.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

I love 3 run rallies with three outs...

 

Or i'm sure i would if i saw one.

 

(a bases clearing almost triple?)

Woah. Thought i was gonna eat my words there, for a moment.

[MMMordabito]

Way to pitch like an All-Star, Jake. Let's get right into the pen ASAP.

[Blake]

I think I found a picture of the guy in the stands who's hitting the stupid cowbell.

Why does Oakland's pitcher have a rat on his lip?

Well, might be an allegory referring to the state of the Oakland Coliseum.

[MMMordabito]

That's the Grossman we know and love!

[Blake]

 

They should've sent Sano down to AAA 2 weeks ago to work on his swing down there.

Hey, that's my line!

[bighat]

Wayda hustle, Polanco!

[bighat]

Bad challenge by Oakland, not a chance Polanco's out there.

[Squirrel]

Don't worry if Sano strikes out there will be multiple posts.

You need to say something like this at every Sano at bat.

[DiscGolfer]

That Kepler guy, is he any good?  Definitely not all star worthy

[operation mindcrime]

Nice hit Kepler!

[twinssporto]

I like 2 hit rallies with 0 outs.
