If Peter blames umpires for loss later, I'll give him benefit of doubt so far.

But if the score stays the same it will be a 1 run game. We all know how Peter feels about 1 run games.

How does Peter think about 3 run games?

Like a 13yo getting pwned on Halo.

Kudos to the FO for Bader and France. Pretty important parts of this roster. 

[David HK]

Boy, Harrison clobbered that one.  

About time somebody jumped on this guy, he looks the very definition of Meat.

Rocco, it's not that hard to make a lineup, play your best players.  Larnach and Wallner can hit pitching from both sides, put Willi in LF.  Bader can be your pinch runner or defensive replacement in the later innings, stop overthinking it.

Bader just homered so I am glad that he started.

[Blyleven2011]

Nice homerun , a 2 run homerun at that ...

Keep padding the lead , be nice to get double digit runs again ...

I hope he shows up tonight so we can find out.

[Chris Hove]

When all healthy, Bader, Buxton, Larnach, Wallner, and Castro. Who do you leave out of the lineup. Do we want Wallner to sit everytime there's a lefty on the mound? Good dilemma to have I guess.

Pablo wasn’t injured in Seattle so he wouldn’t have been needed there unless they wanted him to see the Space Needle 

He was talking about McCusker going to Seattle when Buxton was going to be activated. It’s not like the Twins are the only team that does this, but it sometimes looks petty.

Definitely a good problem to have.  You can play the hot hand nightly and gives Rocco better quality pinch-hitters.  Bader is hitting out of his skis compared to his career numbers so maybe we ride with Bader until he cools off and goes back to the hitter we all expected him to be.

People can make tough comments about Lewis and his BA....but i have been watching him tonight in person  come off the field between innings and in the dugout....there is always a smile...pat on the back for teammates...a super cheerleading mentality...

You won’t find a bigger Lewis fan than me. I’m not put off by his personality; he seems pretty authentic. Having myself rehabbed an ACL replacement, I can’t imagine the work he’s put it to go through it twice and still be functional as a MLB player. All that said, if he keeps floundering I hope the team gets him what he needs as far as coaching, whether at the MLB or MiLB level. 

[S Bart]

Not bad...fingers crossed he can keep it up

[Chris Hove]

Three more hits for Payton Eeles tonight in St Paul, and Micky Gasper continues to rake. I know how much you guys love Eeles.

[David HK]

Larnach with all the grace of a Sherman tank.

Plus you add Martin, McCusker, Rodriguez, Kiersey Jr, and sometimes Clemens, it starts to be a logjam.

The A’s appear to have done it again rebuilding in relatively short time after a fire sale. There’s real talent on their team. Like Wilson on 2B currently and Soderstrom

What’d I miss

 Currently beating a big city team as our dear friend Peter would say 

[David HK]

Boy, I sure like this young Wilson fella.  He looks to be the player we all want Brooks to be.

[mrtwinsfan]

Rocco dont even consider taking Zebbie out pleez,  --  spotting his pitches the best ive seen of him tonight !!!!

 Besides Nick Kurtz the A's don't have much to look forward to. 😥

I don't think Kiersey will ever be jamming anything at the MLB level.  Dudes cannon fodder.

at the AA.A.+ level

[Western SD Fan]

The A's pitcher has channeled the ghost of Jamie Moyer.  Easy throwing crafty lefty that shouldn't stymie hitters, but here we are.

[Chris Hove]

Ty France has now recorded a hit in 12 of his last 13 games.
