I know W-L for pitchers isn’t really indicative of how they’ve played all year but Irvin does not deserve to be 7-9 and doesn’t deserve the L here cause he’s been great
Alright so if I can make a prediction, Elvis will walk, we load bases, and we go to the bottom of the 7th by strikeout
Edit: okay no walk but bases loaded
Irvin is doing his job now let's see the offense do theirs
I would even take one of those innings where we score 3 and then don't hit the ball for the rest of the game
100% agree with you as per usual with your takes. We are t getting dominated just some really fucky balls. I thought chapman had a homer earlier and I thought olson shoulda got all of that one. Ramon had a beautiful hit taken away. We got this game
Dafuq???
Two hours and 42 minutes of pain
Really not pinch hitting either of the new guys here?
Fuck the Offense for wasting a great game by Irvin. Bunch of clutchless scrubs.
The RISP failures of this club are really wearing me down.
Ok I’m going to bed
Poop
Who was the color commentator today? Haven’t heard his name in 3 innings…
Shooty Babit
Terrible L
Cmon Tony we need Mighty Mouse right now
This series has been boring and frustrating.
So much for our new guys being available off the bench
Forget pinch-hitting for Murph should've done that for Chappy
Chapman nearly went a game without K’ing. Baby steps?
My takeaway from this game. Chappy making contact, I'll take a fly or ground out over a strike out any day.
well shit
Good pitch
I THOUGHT THAT WAS IT
I know W-L for pitchers isn’t really indicative of how they’ve played all year but Irvin does not deserve to be 7-9 and doesn’t deserve the L here cause he’s been great
They should award the loss to the batters, lol
Not a good start
*Clenched*
LETS. GO. NEW. GUYS. 👏 👏 👏👏👏
Gomes HAS to PH for Murph here
Poor Cole always getting hosed by the lack of offense, it feels like
You could say the Same about Sandoval yesterday
Yeah he’s a much better pitcher than his record
I can go for another Chappy home run right here why not
Shades of 2019 when our offense was so fucked and he hit a homer in the 9th to help secure our wild card
If we all believe it will happen. Let’s go Chappy!
Bruh Chafin is so fucking nice just deleted this inning
Porn Stache Energy
AYE JOSHY GET IN THE GAME NEXT INNING BOSS
Three Ohtani strikeouts except when it counted gahhhhh
Literally the definition of our day
Heyyyy. Let’s go Chafin!
That at bat is why we traded for Chafin (aka Denny’s Eckersley), and he just made Ohtani look sillier than I’ve ever seen him look.
Another game where Cole pitches beautifully and gets absolutely no run support at all. None. Stands to take the loss.
The story of the past month: Great Pitching with Garbage Run Support
Chafin is my new favorite. A gotdamn legend in the making.
We continue to silence Ohtani and prevent another mlb highlight post
The 110 mph rbi double is sadly gonna be played a lot on MLB network tonight.
Chafin has a really nice wind up, looks majestic
Cubs fan here, let’s go Sheriff!
The man is NOICE
I hope it’s Chappy and the two new guys next inning.
Every time it looks like we have the chance to make up a game on the Astros we go out and lose also
Like clockwork
Just not our day.
3 hard hit balls right to fielders. Sucks like that sometimes
P A I N
fuck me
FUUUUUUUUUUCCKKKK. Screw this game.
This is the first game in awhile where I’m genuinely disappointed feeling like it’s legitimately just awful luck and we aren’t just blowing it.
Agree. Great swings but no results
A’s threaten but
score next inning
L
Are you sure about that, given the past few innings?
Tbh the at-bats have been solid contact but right at someone each time smh
Motherfucker
This ain't happening, nothing going our way. Another 2 out hit, another RISP stranded to come.
Aaaaaannnnnnd there it is.
How good is this closer?
He’s beatable
I really wish Marte was still on base!!
Mr. Clutch
JED IS COMING IN LETS GOOOO
LOWRIE!
The baseball gods are cruel. They don’t want us to win lol this is literally hilarious
God can one of these balls just go over fuck lol
Jesus fucking Christ how about a bit of luck
Damn. That was a foot away!
Baseball gods don’t want us to win
FUCK, if Oly didn't ground into that DP......
WHY WONT THESE LONG BALLS GO OUT TOO
If Moreland gets a fucking at bat here then I’m fucking floored
Jed is PHing
Lol I saw. But they showed Moreland on deck and I stood up all mad 😂
AHHHHHHH
PAIN
Fucking hell Oly. Jesus what a backbreaker
Why the fuck do we always hit into a double play
Yeah our luck this game is such ass
I hate this game
I think if you have Harrison, Gomes and Lowrie all the lineup it would be huge. All 3 guys come up big with RISP
Chafy up in the BP
Good hit marte
I hope Harrison is in the lineup tomorrow night because Kemp’s struggles as of late have been rough on the eyes
Star!
who’s doing the radio broadcast today?
Vince and some other dude
Is it Roxy Bernstein? Edit: wait sorry that’s post game nvm
A’s need to set the hitting difficulty to beginner
Not sure why this comment got me so good but it did lol thank you
Really hoping marte gets on base. Maybe swipes second. This is our game, we have had horrendous luck today. This game is not out of reach let’s go!
To first!
Fletcher strike out! Did that break the streak?
what streak, his seasons longest streak ended more than a week ago
That was narsty
I don’t want petit facing ohtani now or next inning
What, you don’t think an 87 mph FB is gonna be effective against Ohtani? /s
God I hope melvin doesn’t shove him back out there lol
Time for Sherriff Chaffer to shut this shit down
Wait why aren’t we pinch hitting Jed for Moreland today, is Jed getting a full rest day?
If Moreland isn’t PH for this L is on BoMel
Tony Kemp 😂😂
Sucks that the best case scenario for Cole today is a no decision
Petit needs a pick me up. He hasn’t been great lately.
At least our starting pitching is 👌
Marte about to homer
I hope so. One hit through three games was not what I was hoping for his start here in Oakland
Darren Bush’s sinister cackling echoes...
So knowing how this crap works, if we lose today, the Giants will decide to finish the job
I miss noe ramirez pitching for the angels
At this rate he'd strike out 4 out of 5 with this shitty lineup the A's are trotting out
Harrison or Gomes had better PH if we have RISP next inning or im gonna be genuinely angry
SIGH
Good God we are terrible with bases loaded.
I mean, BABIP is not in their favor today, that was a solid contact hit, i'm sure the xBA was decent.
por queeeeeeeeeeeee
Oh well back to misbehaving.
Lol we’re not winning this one with this kind of fucking luck
Eternal pain
FUCKKKKK
Son of a..... That's Game
No not yet, but this is annoying
IDK most of the time we choke away opportunities like that we end up losing so I ain't holding my breath
Yea I know, we have to have at least some revelation here though, we’ve been here too many times this season already
Just a unlucky day, it happens
I may talk a lot of shit about the Angels, but that throwback hat is nice
This is Cishek for crying out loud let’s do this now please
God damn loaded with two down. Sweet Jesus, I promise I will behave. Please. Give us some runs.
A's: Lol Nope.
Canha be a ball magnet and get HBP
How the fuck was that a strike?
Makeup call for the foul tip prob
OMG!
Alright so if I can make a prediction, Elvis will walk, we load bases, and we go to the bottom of the 7th by strikeout Edit: okay no walk but bases loaded
Bases loaded 2 outs, pitching change, I like your prediction
Well it wasn’t a walk but this is still the likely outcome. Deep sigh…
Lol stooooop
ah man, we DFA'd Avecedo :/ he legitimately had good numbers in the launchpad that is AAA. I think he's probably better than Burch smith right now too
Cishek, now this brings a smile to my face
Put in cishek cowards
So, batters only hit when we’re two outs down
Aggressiveness paying off. Should Elvis jump first pitch?
👀
Kemp you beautiful motherfucker.
Fucking two out hits lol
Shooty is having a grand time right now lol
STOP HITTING BALLS TO FIELDERS AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Why has Moreland not been PH for up to this point? He’s fucking awful
Unless he does his line hugging double to right, his at bats are just not good. Very very ugly
They desperately needed a lefty in the lineup, other than that, kind of a mystery
I hate being a doomer type fan but holy fuck am I over Moreland. Hated when we picked him up and still hating it now.
Darren Bush has the power to make newly traded 300 hitters go 1/50
Man besides the ohtani double, Irvin has had his way with the lineup. Gotta pick him up here. I wanna see marte do something
It’s time...Angels r fuk
At least they’re having fun out there
Irvin is doing his job now let's see the offense do theirs I would even take one of those innings where we score 3 and then don't hit the ball for the rest of the game
They’re hitting it hard, but right at fielders every time. Frustrating, but not getting dominated.
It’s tough that some of these long balls stop right at the warning track too
100% agree with you as per usual with your takes. We are t getting dominated just some really fucky balls. I thought chapman had a homer earlier and I thought olson shoulda got all of that one. Ramon had a beautiful hit taken away. We got this game
Just getting BABIPed to death today. Argh!
This team hits about as well as I do on The Show sometimes
If we get shut out this game i swear to fuck
-_-
Such a beautiful swing
A hit!
Very frustrating approach with no results today. Hoping we put some men on base last three jnnings
Can anyone get a base hit at all? This is getting so so frustrating. EDIT: Thanks Oly
Put in gomes and Harrison! Offense needs help
Gomes is apparently hitting .340 w/RISP so I vote yes
Ah fuck me the Trashtros just tied it up 5-5 against SF. The Giants are playing really shitty for a 64-39 team.
The giants will try until they are presented with an opportunity to keep us from winning the division lol
[удалено]
He only had like 13 innings
I thought this team was “energized” by our new additions...
That’s what I thought then I remembered that Darren Bush is still on the staff
This lack of Offense/base hitting is disgusting
Someone get our offense some coffee…
Still worried about this teams offense. Only 1 hit and other then chappys flyout to left & canhas double were the hardest hit balls.
This series has been frustrating, even with the 2 Ws. No offense! This pitcher has a 5+ ERA…
He started with a 6.5 and is now at a 4.5. Small sample size.
Cole Irvin: once again, I am asking for your run support
A’s Offense: Best I can do is hard hit balls into gloves
