Bad play by Moreland (take the out) and worse play by JBJ (had no shot at Acuna).

And who was wanting Pomeranz in the first inning after 6 pitches?

Plz DFA pomeranz!!!

The downside if we win this game (and that may be the craziest thing I have said) is that Cora thinks this game is too easy -- that he can roll out any pile of shit and it will win.

LOL!

Call me greedy but I want to win all the games, or at least have a real shot. Today, we didn’t have a real shot.

He just wants to rest a bunch of guys today and go full Voltron tomorrow. Makes sense to me.

They have a day off tomorrow.

A dog fart he is.

Rookie play by Bradley throwing to 3rd. Pom took him off the hook with the walk to load the sacks.

I don’t think Pomeranz will make the POs.

Of course he will. They are paying him too much and they need a lefty. Is he actually worse than Poyner or Scott? Now I do think Velazquez will get dumped in favor of Wright. Velazquez only goes because he has a flexible or resilient arm. I suspect Wright, if he works out can fill that bill.

Not with that lineup and putting this a hole pomeranz in the game.

Bases loaded and no outs with Suzuki-- damn I didn't play Fanduel today!

[illinoisredsox]

Pomeranz can take the pounding for a couple innings. Then its Cuevas and the rest of the callups time.

I rather Poyner than Pomeranz. Pom is done.

Disastrous outing and season by Pomeranz.

So for once, the OF is not in that pinched/shift and the guy hits it into the gap. Of course he does. I wish we actually had a stat for how often the hitter beats all these complicated shifts without even trying. Other than either the SS or the 2nd baseman shading the hole up the middle, I am not sure it is really as effective as people think it is, at least not when it is deployed in some fashion for every tom, dick or larry with a bat in his hands.

Pom is a loser.

Be interesting to see where the MFY's are after this west coast swing. The A's are doing well. Hopefully the Mariners will have recovered from their in-team clubhouse fight by the time they get up to Seattle.
