    Prefer not to see James again...PERIOD ! Lucked out with the DP....I was for another inning but should have pulled him after the single. 100% trash...I'm sorry but true.

    I will not, lol. Not until we get the lead back or James is off this team. Inexcusable.

    He is. It's always the same damn issues with him. Throws the ball 98 mph, but if it's down the middle or over the catcher's head it doesn't do us any good. If we can fire O'Brien, we should do the equivalent of that and cut James this offseason. Glad to finally see us get out of that inning. Jesus. At least Raley pitched well.

    Haven't had to use the shaky part of the pen...now we do. Also get to face the meat of the A's pen the rest of the day.

    He is trash.

    he has a good arm and slider when he can locate.

    Not locating a 99mph fastball is fine if you can locate off speed pitches.

    He is one dimensional. If Strom can’t fix him, then he’s not fixable.

    Athletics are going to bring in any pitcher at this point.

    Ehh...he has a right to be bothered....7.27 ERA and gives up a 3 run lead. I knew it was coming and said so.

    Like having the best offensive line in the country and needing one yard for a TD and throwing it.

    I mean yeah I was pretty heated, and I still am. But it's just so disappointing after the fact. There's still a lot of game left and I hope we can pull it out. Just hate opportunities to close out a series wasted.
