    I get angry with AJ as much as the next person. - Congress, but it's kind of sad to see a runner on 3rd with 0 outs and watch 3 professional hitters fail to even make contact.

    I'd like to see Giles be able to take over the close role and aucceed, but I just don't know if I have faith that he would. If we are going to go with our best two relief pitchers at the moment for 8-9, then it's Feliz in the 8th and Harris in the 9th wig Sipp/Greg/Giles working the 7th.

    the beloved pest is saying we have options??? We don't, Hinch will screw it, like always

    he defends Hinch soon much just because he wants to say the opposite of what i am saying, and because he is a HOMERRRRRRR

    The players are just as responsible, if not more. Again, man on 3rd, nobody out...you dont sub out the guy that is making 15 million a year.

    YES, but it was because Doolittle faced 2 lefties with less than 2 outs.

    Manager MUST give the best chance for the player to hit, not the opposite.

    WE have a manager that is just not good.

    Can we forget how good he is? Not walking CanĂ³ or Ortiz???? he does not give the pitcher the best matchup pitching to those guys, and the same with our hitters, why faced Colby AND Valbuena against Dollittel with less than 2 outs???? Awful managing

    Again, do not give the matchups to the other team and manager, give the match ups to your advantage

    You've called a lot of things, and when you're wrong you go into hiding, and when you say something that actually does happen you come back with post after post after post after post after post to make sure no one misses the fact that you called something that actually happened.

    You've already made 3 posts stating you "called it". Were you afraid that someone who just showed up on clutch fans for the day might have missed it so you felt the need to do it again?

    Shaky inning by Giles but he got through it without getting a run. Trust Harris, Feliz and even Giles FAR more than I trust a very hittable Gregerson right now.

    Sure, you can try to sub out 3 guys and completely deplete your bench, and hope they can all play defense at their newly assigned position the next inning...but every player is responsible. And nobody is asking them to get a hit...just asking to make contact. There is a huge difference there.

    Hopefully Altuve will break the curse of us not making contact what so ever.

    Hell he just made a point that I'm a homerrrrrr and I love Hinch

    And Ive ripped Hinch several times today

    He is either

    1) truly insane and needs counseling

    Or

    2) not a fan at all and a true troll

    I'm thinking he is just a troll at this point

    Either way I wish he would go away

    Rasmus gonna walk this one off boys

    He'll get it figured out. Just had to learn to spot his fastball better. Hopefully that'll come sooner rather than later.

    Shifting against the A's just doesn't work. That is what they want.
