Maybe it's just me but it would have been cool to see the guy who is 7-17 lifetime against Doubront in the lineup.
Problem is in the last few games we've seen this twice from Fields, twice from Neshek, once from Gregerson and once from Qualls. Our bullpen is in real problems right now, and Sipp is injured. I think is time to see what VV and Feliz can do. Right now only dependable reliever we have is Harris.
I guess I just don't recall him getting lit up this badly in back to back pitching outings. I have that groove he was in before he was sent down still stuck in my head.
The team is just too mentally weak on the road. Pitchers can't throw strikes, hitters can't consistently hit, it's just a lack of mental toughness all the way around.
The A's owned the astros for sooo long I think they just have that mentality of not caring about being in last place and the stros being in 1st place...just doesn't matter to the A's..just my opinion
