    I guess making a routine grab at plate is now considered a perfect play. Dude was out by 20 ft, just let the runners decide weather to go or not because Pettis has no f'ing clue.

    This guy is hitting .198 if he gets a hit then I'm convinced the stros are doomed

    Everything coming up roses for the Hinchster. A mastermind!

    Man, this is pathetic. They have failed every test this series against a team 20 games below .500.

    The throw short hopped him, not an easy play with a catcher's mitt. 2B was in shallow right and had no momentum on the throw. With 2 out it's not a terrible idea.

    You glad he sent him now?

    I mean it worked out but seriously tell me you're not defending the worst third base coach in the league.

    I hate Hinch. He's such a **** manager. Why didn he pull Peacock out after one bad pitch.

    of course someone will find a way to critique Hinch even when he goes to the 'pen aggressively and with the guy who's been the best lately

    I'm defending that particular play, yes. With vigor.

    If Beltran could get his bat magically working again that would be huge

    I do like the fact that he held Beltran there;)

    Good job, Springs.

    Now let's hold the lead.

    Not really. The staff and pen are actually faltering now and against weak teams. There is no proof that it will continue but it's more of a stretch that they miraculously become great. It doesn't look good.

    Devo has been terrible since the all star break ! This A's team is full of a bunch of minor league scrubs who look like a bunch of silver sluggers against this bullpen
