[Blarg]

Yeah, well... I think I'll do some laundry instead of this.

They're just teeing off now.

11-3

Welcome to the second half!

Games like this are a reality check against the little 3-game winning streaks that pop up from time to time.

WTF is going on.

o'hoppe  being out tonight I believe is affecting the pitchers !

[jsnpritchett]

Which position player will come in to pitch? Pillar?

I think their lack of talent is affecting them. 

[Slegnaac]

Where is Suarez when you need him?

[jsnpritchett]

And Moore has killed whatever miniscule trade value he had left. 

[fan_since79]

A's scored 18 against the Phillies in their previous game. They can hit.

They're the only team this season to have scored 18+ runs in a game, and they've done it 3 times, despite being one of the lowest-scoring teams in baseball overall.

Moore's next stop may be retirement.

Canning, Contreras, and Moore aren't good.

Doesn't matter if Buster Posey or Kurt Suzuki is catching them.

This is one of the sloppiest games of the year, and that's saying something. 

sloppy pitching.

offense was battling some and I've seen much worse defense.

[No Roles]

on a good note pivetta has struck out Ohtani 3 x tonight in l.a.

Still some sloppy defense tonight, though.

so is Moore gonna get DFA'd?

They're probably gonna want to bring up a fresh arm.

I suppose Canning might go on the IL, but Moore is cooked.

Headed toward another loss?

I love the occasional weirdness of baseball.

Schanuel’s last 30 games, including tonight:

105 PA, .295/.414/.410/.824 with 7 doubles, 2 HR, 20 BB to 15 K

Savant page starting to get more color to it too.

They're not gonna send Crouse out there for a 2nd inning, are they? I really hope not. Might as well just let a position player finish it at this point.

I think Wash has some stupid some old-school thing in him where he doesn't want to use a position player for more than an inning.
