    I just don't trust Rondon right now. We should go back to closer by committee and have the hottest hand pitch the 9th. Right now it looks like that might be Pressley, but I see no reason as to why Rondon and his 72% save conversion rate should be entrenched in the role.

    Gurriel falling off has really hurt.

    It’s clear that Hinch, and the players, are begging for set roles.

    The committee stuff hasn’t worked great either. How about they just put the guy with the best overall stuff, and best track record at closing... as the closer.

    it's good to know you have all of the special camera angles. I'll make sure to ask you going forward.

    Well, he's given up more than 3 runs once in 10 starts this year, so should we really be surprised?

    Man our offense has been putrid lately, Rockies game notwithstanding.

    Yuli Gurriel has been straight up horseshit for a while now. Glad he's hitting cleanup. He's dropped nearly 30 points in BA since late June.

    I hate b****ing about the offense “after” the blown save.

    Had it been 8-7, the blown save is still what prevents the win.

    Oakland just gets love from the refs over Houston. Happened in game 7 too.
