    Dusty stretching all the starters out ends up backfiring. That hurt Brown’s numbers.

    You think he should have pulled him with ~70 pitches?

    Edit: also, what's more important? Brown's numbers, or saving the bullpen?

    So Abreu or Neris?

    I'd prefer Abreu for the 8th every time unless he just can't go.

    I understand the decision. I just wanted Brown to leave the game unscathed. And I though that would’ve been a perfect spot for Montero being spotted a 5 runs lead. You let Montero get his work in and you save the actual good arms for the next couple of games.

    I've said this several times. If I had a nickel for every time he left a starter go that 7th inning and backfire, man oh man.

    If it's Framber, Verlander, yeah I get it.

    Not a good sign for Abreu that the company line is stay the course while simultaneously moving him down the order.

    Man, we're lucky we're playing the A's tonight. They gifted runs....plus those lucky bloopers. Julks had some solid hits tonight though.

    Making the A's bullpen look top tier.

    Offense flatlining after the 3rd inning is all too predictable...

    Whelp. I'll stop my b****ing. A win is a win. Maybe they saved some hits / runs for tomorrow's game. ;)

    A week off and Pressly was on his A game.

    All you MFers always complain about "save some for tomorrow" when we're on the verge of a blowout. See how this works out.

    And if Montero had come in and given up 4 runs like he did the other day, what would you have said?

    I am fine as long as we don't score (or is it win by) more than 9 runs. ;)
