7/3 at A’s

[d-money]

Barnes not available today

 

Who said that? He only threw 19 pitches yesterday.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Dalbec's body language at the plate is not the language of confidence. Smart pitchers* pick that up real soon.

 

*a rare animal according to Ted Williams.

[TylerD]

Weather looks perfect there!

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Kike, lend me your bat!

[TylerD]

Insurance!!!!!

 

4-2!

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Both Barnes and Cora when they were asked. But they both could have been lying.

[Nick]

Santana just sucks...I'm sorry I can't watch him hit...

[d-money]

Whose coming to pitch here?

[Nick]

He should never have come out for the sixth

 

I agree. Richards needed to feel good about his outing. No point in extending him another inning.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Santana just sucks...I'm sorry I can't watch him hit...

 

I'd love to watch him hit, but he hardly ever does. His daze should be numbered.

[Tedballgame]

Hope Taylor can go two innings.

[d-money]

Come on taylor.

[d-money]

Hope Taylor can go two innings.

 

I think it’s one.

[Maxbialystock]

Just joined in time to see Kike's dinger but too late to see Richards 5 innings, 3 BB's, 2 K's, and just 2 runs. Clearly, he battled as I hoped (not predicted) he would. Can't ask for much more at this juncture because he's still adapting to the new reality.

 

Nice throw by Taylor to get the man going to 2b. Too many pitchers have trouble throwing back over the mound.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Good play by Josh. Anytime a pitcher can throw the ball to a base w/o it ending up in the OF is a good play.

[d-money]

One more plz.

[Tedballgame]

That Oakland PA announcer sounds like her hair is on fire.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

If a run had scored on that Santana bobble, I would have DFA'd him on the spot.

[d-money]

Taylor a little shaky here.

[Maxbialystock]

Lucky for Santana the A's runner fell down rounding 1st base.

 

Hope Taylor's streak doesn't end tonight. Love the accidental foul for strike 1. Don't love the popup that went foul

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Josh adding some drama to his shutout streak.

[Maxbialystock]

Great, great K by Taylor!! Out of the 7th, still 4-2.

[Tedballgame]

Taylor’s slider is so good right now.

[d-money]

Still gets out of it! Nice!!!!

[Nick]

Santana almost mugged JD in left field...clearly JD called for it ......Santana seems to be daze sometimes...

[Maxbialystock]

Rays and Yankees fading, Jays now 3 back of the Rays but 8 back of the Sox.

[TylerD]

Taylor a little shaky here.

 

Kept it 4-2. All that counts.

[Nick]

Ottavino had 2 days off prior to last night so he should get the call in the 9th.

[Tedballgame]

Nice to hear Don Orsillo broadcasting a Red Sox game again.

[Maxbialystock]

JDM ain't too swift in the field, but he has a good arm, is a decent fielder, and loves going out there so someone else can DH--or he can he can play and hit in NL parks.
