On this day, 1972, A's beat the Twins on Sal Bando's double, to cinch the Amer League West title. They went on to be WS champs.

 

R.I.P., Mr. Bando!

Trevor May.

Then again, he May not.

I know Louie wants to be a starter, and he probably will be again...but he looks great as a reliever. He even seems more relaxed and comfortable coming out of the pen. He always seemed kind of jumpy, or nervous, to me when he started games. I think he's wrapped pretty tight anyway, but I don't see that as much when he pitches in relief. He's going to be a real asset for us either way, but I love him coming out of the pen.

Not a good  time for Taylor to go into a slump.

They may refer to Jeter, as the Captain, but in my book it was Sal.

Does Louis go "pbpbpbpbpbp" like a horse before throwing a pitch? From my experience, the best starter-turned-relievers do that.

This would be a nice time to see if buxton has any thunder in his bat.

Yes I know, it would be righty vs righty.

[IndianaTwin]

Welp. I guess we've got plans for Tuesday. 

[RpR]

NOT a good way to end home games.

For some reason we tend to have clunkers on these getaway games. Doesn't matter who's in the lineup or who's pitching. Yeah, I know were setting things up for next week, but today was a winnable game and another chance for a sweep. Would've been nice if we did it. On to Colorado!

[CRF]

Just saw from Betsy Helfand, that C4 won't be activated for the Rox series and go to CO. He's staying back in the TC to do some sim games, and is still on target to play next week.

I agree. But at least he isn't touting Gallo for a return!

Gallos bags were packed to go to Cincinnati. He refused the call. So Larnach was sent instead

It was more along the lines of him being upset when they put him on the IL for an injury that didn't exist.
