Lead off walks scoring for 3 straight innings is a joke. This bullpen is pathetic
It's officially an organizational problem. One that Click inherited but has done hardly anything to fix.
They have such a hard-on for guys "with stuff" over command that we develop no one in relief who knows how to pitch.
Here are the guys who throw strikes. We traded for Pressly. LaForce is a a good free agent signing who turned into a shitty pussy. Raley is Dumpster Aggy for a reason. Bielak and Emanuel are failed starters.
Click can frick RIGHT OFF if he sends Garcia or Javier to AAA to stay stretched out when Odorizzi and Frambaw return. Keep those guys in the damn bullpen so we can suck less.

The bullpen that walked way too many and couldn't protect a close lead was the primary reason we ended up with a losing record last year. Its the same shite this year.
Paredes
Scrubb
Abreu
Stanek
All of them have control issues and then you have the guys who just flat out suck Smith, Raley and Bielak. Once again we're running a 1 man pen.

Zero walks for them tonight.
Our bullpen was bad but they got no help from that umpire. Stanek started with a walk to laureano who took 3 pitches in locations that have been called strikes for As pitchers. He struck out Chapman looking and didn’t get the call. Had to throw a fastball on 3-2. That inning goes much different if laureano has to swing the bat. You keep the lead and Pressly comes on to close it out.

Ump was complete shite.
I will say I put this one more on Cannoli than the others. He wasn’t even close with his pitches. We were actually lucky to get out of that with the lead. Both of Scrubb’s outs were barreled up.

Glad I didn’t stay up. At some point, Oakland’s luck has to run out but it’s been going strong for about 4 years now.
The only way to beat them is to win 9-2. We did that four times earlier this year in that dump. Let’s try doing that tonight.

As an A’s fan, I’m still amazed how this collection of misfits just wins. It’s never made sense

Something that would make me lose my shite for $600, Alex.

After the first two series this year I was convinced we were headed for last place and by a comfortable lead.
And then something happened and they went from ugly caterpillar to butterfly. I'll take it.
But we'll wait and see how the next two go.

Our punishment? Like missing the World Series last year by a hair and being 1.5 games out of first right now (temporarily)?

And 5 guys hitting over .300, another with 10 homers.
The team leads in the following offensive categories:
OPS
Avg
Runs
Hits
Fewest strikeouts
Muh trashcans!!!!

And yet they sit in second place because they have a senile fossil in the manager’s chair and maybe 1 reliever who’s worth a shite.
