7/3 at A’s

[Maxbialystock]

Dalbec out, of course, and Marwin in.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Not dissing Cora; the SOX are in 1st place. But, it still pisses me off when the SOX have a very winnable game and Cora babies his relievers.

[Tedballgame]

Marwin. 0-5 lifetime against Trivino and he walks him.

[Maxbialystock]

WEEI guys say move Santana to 1b, Marwin to 2b, and Kike to CF for the bottom of the 9th.

[TylerD]

One on!

[Tedballgame]

That pitchwas outside.

[Maxbialystock]

Not dissing Cora; the SOX are in 1st place. But, it still pisses me off when the SOX have a very winnable game and Cora babies his relievers.

 

Actually, he babies lots of guys, not just pitchers. And it seems to work.

 

Trivino gets another call.

[Tedballgame]

Nice hit and run there.

[TylerD]

Wasn’t even close. Good god

[Tedballgame]

A ground ball up the middle used to be a hit. Not anymore.

[Maxbialystock]

Bad steal attempt, but, assuming the A's don't score in the 9th, Santana will not lead off the 10th and will start on 2b.

[Tedballgame]

If Hernandez was going to pitch today he should’ve started the eighth.

[redsoxrules]

I don't get Cora. Why didn't Ottavino pitched the 8th? Is Barnes not available tonight?

[Maxbialystock]

Rios was the weak link in the 8th, not Hernandez.

[d-money]

Our offense has done diddly poo. Can they send it to extra innings?

[Nick]

Said prior to game, Barnes not available

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

BP pitchers I would accept a check from: Whitlock, Barnes, Ottavino, Taylor, and probably SAW. All the others I would accept only cash.

[Maxbialystock]

WEEI guys say move Santana to 1b, Marwin to 2b, and Kike to CF for the bottom of the 9th.

 

And that's what Cora did.

[Nick]

They need to bring up Houck.....lengthen the bullpen

[Tedballgame]

Don just mentioned how many walk off wins the A’s have this year. That’s a curse of death.

[d-money]

I wonder whose pitching here.

[moonslav59]

Maybe our pen is doing better than anyone’s expectations because Cora knows what he is doing.

[Tedballgame]

Not a good start to the ninth. Better get prepared.

[d-money]

Here we go. Our BP has not been good tonight.

[vegasbob]

Maybe our pen is doing better than anyone’s expectations because Cora knows what he is doing.

 

If Cora is so great and the Bullpen so good, why don't they win every single game ??/ (Sarcasm)

[d-money]

4-2 lead in the 8th inning. Cora should have brung ottavino in the damn game.

[Maxbialystock]

Gonzalez did a nice job covering 1b.

[d-money]

The runner on second base. Ughh

[Tedballgame]

Beautiful pitch there.

[Tedballgame]

Hoping for extras.
