25 pitches for Louie. He should be good for a couple more innings, at least. 

I hope Rocco is of the same mindset.  However, I'm not comfortable betting on that.

[Patzky]

Bottom of the order making noise!

[USAFChief]

LNP makes an appearance 

[USAFChief]

Depending on performance, of course, there's no reason Varland can't go 100 pitches.

He's been a starter all year, he's on regular rest.

[Patzky]

Varland making good work and quick work on a long day.

Gotta believe Duran is off limits tonight. Prolly Jax for the 9th. 

Need 6 more outs to get there.

 

[Schmoeman5]

Louie has came in and righted the ship. According to Park. After his last outing it wasn't the pitch count. It was the dreaded 3rd time through the lineup. We'll see if that plays in tonight

[Patzky]

Guess the A's pitchers have seen enough of Royce Lewis 

[Patzky]

Ball five

[Joe Schmitt]

The four pitch walks are fine too.

How does Max look tonight to y'all. After the HBP .. not impactful at the plate tonight.

Following on the app. What led to the ejection?

Argued a check swing call by the 3rd base ump.

The strike zone.

Check swing, 3rd base ump said no swing. One of the Oakland coaches, uh, disagreed. 

[Patzky]

Correa  .. comes through again..

[USAFChief]

2 out RBI. The key to life.

[IndyTwinsFan]

Big run there.  CC4 strikes again!

[stringer bell]

Correa’s heater continues!

What I couldn't figure out is why not come out onto the field and get your money's worth instead of f-bombing the guy from the dugout?  It's much easier to ignore from the field after you've tossed the guy if he's still yapping from the dugout than if he came out and got in your face.

I heard on the Radio post-game, after game 1, Correa had 22 hits in his last 10 games. 

Most in a 10 game stretch since this guy, 2010:

 

[Aggies7]

Real AAA vibe to the crowd for this game

Technically it was both. He got ejected on the checked swing. But he blew a head gasket on the strike zone

He wasn't the manager.

End of the line with Soderstrom?

And there's been not a lot to complain about tonight. 

[stringer bell]

Soderstrom has been a pain in the posterior for this series.
