If I had to give the bullpen a grade today, it would be a solid "F".

Sanda was most of that F.

Will Sands get credited with a Hold today? Technically why not? 

[rickyp]

So just for fun, what's the actual score of the game today if you take out the errors, blunders, bad decisions, balks...  like 3 to 0 or something?

Entertaining stuff. Not good stuff, mind you, but certainly entertaining.

Like the circus. 😁

Considering the last two...well.....Morris and Gomez were not needed or used...still miss Anderson

Anderson will likely be back soon enough.

But he still got the win, after a pretty good outing.  Good for him!

And this is why I picked the sport with 162 games to be a diehard fan of - I will never get my fill of days like today!

No Hold for Sands.

[Mortimerkenny21]

Royals beat the tigers, Cleveland lost, Houston lost...every little bit helps.

[IndyTwinsFan]

Fortunately, our offense came to play today, whereas our bullpen and the A's defense definitely didn't bother to show up.

From MLB's glossary: "One of two conditions must be met for a pitcher to record a hold: 1) He enters with a lead of three runs or less and maintains that lead while recording at least one out. 2) He enters the game with the tying run on-deck, at the plate or on the bases, and records an out."

Sands entered when there was too large a lead.  So he wasn't eligible.  (And with the number of runs he allowed, if he had been eligible when he came in, the lead would have been relinquished.)

Thanks to Sands, both Nance and Funderburk were eligible for a Hold, and they preserved the lead, so both get credited.

Thanks to 2 runs in the bottom of the 8th, Adams wasn't eligible for anything when he came in.

Here's the rules....I was not sure what the rule was...he entered with a 6-run lead, it was not a save/hold situation to begin with (a hold requires a lead of 3 runs or fewer, unless pitching 3+ finishing innings).

I might have just pulled an oblique.
