Rocco will say he pinch ran for Lee cause of how important that run could of been , i say he insults his own players doin things like that and then at the same Time wont MAKE Royce bunt,  thats playing favorites and its wrong

Giving respected veterans and team stars special treatment has always been a part of any team in any sport.  The issue I would have is if Lewis is being given said special treatment considering he hasn't earned it at all.

Ain't over yet. We get a chance to answer...

Anyone else remember in the movie Moneyball when Art Howe kept clamoring for a new contract because "the players won't respect him" if he is a lame duck manager?

Do you think that's the reason for Rocco's extension?

Nope

[ziggy]

Lewis batting 2nd  Gee, do you think he is going to swing for the fences?

[Vanimal46]

This team is losing 90 games for sure. Question is do we get to 95 losses?

[AceWrigley]

I kind of get a kick out of the A's. They all look like guys you'd see hanging out at the slot car track.

Does anyone on the team get to 75 RBI?

[IndyTwinsFan]

Another winnable game quite likely down the tubes, again!

AARGH.

He has his special application of eye black. Does that not count as earned?

[Patzky]

Eh too many missed opps.

They have faster cars than the twinkies when on the track.

My guess is that there is a strong likelihood that we do reach the 95 loss level.

[USAFChief]

This game should never have gone to extras. Just play the GD game of baseball and its over in the 9th.

Hell, for that matter, dont get Outman thrown out at the plate with no outs in the third. 

Until we have a manager that can fix this kind of continuous crap it won't matter who you trade for.

So did John Randle of the Vikings.  I would say Randle's ability to get to the QB gave him the better treatment than his application of eye black.

Yeah...but he is #3 as to wins.   Wonder if he will move to #2

[Western SD Fan]

Interesting of all the times to run when you're down two runs.  I'm not that critical of it, just interesting to choose to tag and advance there when there have been plenty of times where had they ran earlier in this game, it would have been over by now.

[Parfigliano]

Lewis eye black gone.

Two runs on 11 hits and four BBs.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Potentially final out...
