    Once the runner got to 2B, pitching to Perez was ****ing idiotic

    More totally indefensible bullshit from Dusty

    eta: pitching to him with 2 outs and runners on 1st and 3rd was only slightly less idiotic

    Garcia got more unlucky than anything else. 3 straight hits, with the highest exit velocity at 93 mph. Nothing squared up, just bad sequencing.

    Meanwhile, Chas smokes one >100mph, and the Royals make a nice play on a grounder up the middle. It happens.

    Our pitchers, especially Stanek and Garcia, were totally uninterested in holding runners on.

    I guess they just want to keep the same exact lead on the A’s. Hopefully we won’t hear significant injury news on yordan postgame

    It's not that I'm mad at them.
    I'm just really disappointed

    This team has been painful to watch the last few weeks. And watching Dusty keep making the same mistakes is beyond infuriating

    THIS. Should have been given the free base. What could have been if that McCormick hit was just a little lower....all those solo HR's this game.

    The A’s are going to lose a significant amount of games in the next few weeks with that schedule
