    I'm not sure what the balk rule actually means anymore.

    I have said this about the A's all year. Don't shift against them.

    Lance and Castro have no idea where the ball is going on every pitch.

    McCullers command simply isn't there today. He's prone to control issues like this, it's what's keeping him from elevating to ace status right now.

    Not the first time. Young guy still often fighting his mechanics in every game.

    It's called trolling


    Damn, I'm looking at Vogt's spray chart and I don't see a huge reason for shifting him. And it seems like every A's right was hitting balls to left field.

    Unlucky grounder and an incompetent ump. Could have been worse

    I am so sick of Gattis DH'ing against RHP. So many better options.
