    That would’ve been the sac fly right there. Absolutely atrocious coaching.

    Kemp, White and Marwin are the only ones capable of coming up with big hits recently. The rest of the current lineup has highly disappointed.

    This team is bad at home. It’s that simple. Whether it’s the dimensions of the ballpark or something mentally, they’re just a different team at home. And quite frankly, it’s painful to watch.

    You're not really risking the DP there, guy made a hell of a play.

    Gattis is not the answer at DH

    So in other words, you are risking a DP there.

    You're risking a double play if you don't send the runner and kemp rolls over on one to shortstop.

    Blaming that double play on Hinch is IDIOTIC.

    Sleepy Marwin looks at a fastball down the middle.

    1 run ball game, bottom of the 9th and I still feel like I am going to fall asleep

    I know some guys are out but even the starters in the lineup are struggling ! Yuli swung at ball 4 that Diaz literally bowled to the plate. Correa will need another week or two but you can’t win too often scoring 2 runs every game

    The last two teams coming into MMP (Rangers and Mariners) were really limping. Rangers swept and Mariners on the verge of completing another sweep. This time of the year the Astros start straight sucking. The league is much better this year though so the team just doesn't have the room for error they have had the past few years. Verlander was that spark last year. Need another spark this year of some kind.

    I hope Oakland catch up to us and take the division to light a fire on their ass. Offense is pathetic at home. I rather just play every single game on the road from here on out

    yeah I was watching and hoping it would hurry up and end. Just no offense at all guys just playing with their heads down and swinging at every pitch regardless of where it’s at in the strike zone. This could get bad and we could see the A’s in first here real soon

    that did not go the way I envisioned it. But life without challenges is pretty mundane.
