Watch Alcalas pitch count. Was at 26 - if it goes much higher they could be using him up before dfa. 

One can only hope

[Blyleven2011]

I got lots of work to do , but this is better watching a twins game win or lose than watching paint dry ...

I've said before, Alcala is terrible and shouldn't be on a major league roster, about a week ago. I got thumbs down by at least one person. Can you believe that?

Yeah, sadly I can believe that. There was at least one post about Alcala being a "bottom half of the bullpen weapon," in the article about trading Duran. I get that fans can (at times vastly) overrate their own guys but if you can't put Alcala into a game that's remotely competitive there's zero point in keeping him on the roster. 

[Patzky]

Well that sucks if I'm the A's

Who is more un-usable-----Alcala or Funderburk?????

Yeah, they're the last two guys in the BP. Maybe two or three times a month they'll pitch in high leverage and maybe they'll succeed half the time. I'd rather have the aforementioned Scott Blewett than Alcala despite his outing today and I think one of the St. Paul relievers (perhaps Lovelady) should and maybe will take Fundy's spot.

[Craig Arko]

The good news is they said Coulombe starts rehab in St. Paul tomorrow. 

[Ottomatic1990]

Well the Steelers just signed Rodgers, so there's that 😁

Who is going to pitch the 7th and 8th.

They had lost 20 of 21 games coming into today...

Athletic's just might start a 10 game winning streak , they started out strong in the season but have taken a reverse turn in their last 20 or so games  , I like their batters , I'm sure our pitchers respect their hitters more than the opposing pitchers do against out lineup , 

[sampleSizeOfOne]

I hope we win. 

 

That's.... miles and miles of hope.

Poor old baked McBride may be spending his last time in a Twins uniform cleaning up in a 12-1 loss

Put Lewis on the mound; Twins version of Wild Thing.

Too bad Gasper is not still up, they could/should put him in to catch.

If we put Bride in to pitch we will have to bring in Royce for defense.

Don’t like position players pitching but we done have much of a choice. What a clunker of a game. 

[Western SD Fan]

I was curious on how early a position player could come in to pitch.  I guess it's the seventh inning.  Good thing I tuned in late for this.

There's no question about there bats , I would mind some of them on the twins roster ...

Oh that's right Rooker was on the twins roster once upon a time  ...

Rooker got about 210 PA with TC over 2 years.  Not much of an opportunity really. Then he bounced out of SD and KC not getting a real opportunity.  OAK is 1st team to give him a real chance and he has delivered for them

[Blyleven2011]

This is going to get uglier really fast  ...

Finished up work and turned on the game. Whelp I think I’ll take my dog for a walk instead 

[Blyleven2011]

Why wasn't acala saved for the 7th and 8th innings , start fresh he might of been more effective  , trying to stopped the bleeding acala choked ...

[Patzky]

Was really hoping Royce would get a  cheapy.. slump buster.
