    All series talk goes in here. Non series talk goes somewhere else. No PBP that can be found from other sources if you need it. All games are broadcast on Root Sports unless otherwise noted.

    8-29 Sean Manaea, LHP vs. Joe Musgrove, RHP 7:10

    8-30 Kendall Graveman, RHP vs. Collin McHugh, RHP 7:10

    8-31 Ross Detwiler, LHP vs. Mike Fiers, RHP 1:10

    Need to handle OAK going forward. There's little chance we duplicate our LAA rate vs LA, so 4-2 is the minimum against OAK to even it out. Must at least split against Rangers.

    Well the sweep didn't work out like I thought against the rays, so I guess I'll go with 2 out of 3 from the A's.

    Go Astros!

    the a's have lost 3 players that were astros killers this season, Lowrie due to brittleness, hill and bizzaro rasmus traded to L.A.

    I don't know what's the point of that oakland team. just give away MVP players to other teams and keep moneyballin'? but they still give good teams fit.

    That said, sweep them.

    Musgrove and shift, please just give us a chance to be close.

    We don't hit LHP, and we are facing 2 of them.

    Have we just been doing that much better against them, or that worse against rhp?

    We've actually been having quality performances against them since the break. Variance, I guess. It is baseball after all...

    It would be extremely disappointing if we do not win this series, but you never know with Fiers's and Mchugh's inconsistencies. Musgrove has been getting rocked but I think he has a good matchup tonight.

    Gurriel's first MLB look in the field and at 3B... Bregman DH.

    It's almost like Bregman threw the ball all over the field on purpose just to give Gurriel his opp.

    Musgrove on-pace for a perfect game.

    Batting average says Yuli > Altuve.
