    Pressly has to be hurt. He really should be the closer at this point.

    Had an even worse changeup on the previous pitch that was begging to be crushed.

    Might have been a 2 game swing on that pitch. That kind of sucks. Osuna hasn’t been nails lately. Need him to get that out of his system.

    Ball off knee last week... probably still has some swelling, so Hinch trying to give him as much time to recover.

    This is not Miley's or AJ's fault. Or Osuna's. I mean, not majority fault. The bats got lazy. Miley was pitching a good game, it was moving along quickly, we stopped getting quality ABs that would've extended Fiers' pitch count, he got more innings in than he should have, and a 2-run lead is not much of a lead. Ugh.

    Yeah, on the verge of basically putting the division away to letting the A’s have a shot to get back to 5.5 games if they hold and then win tomorrow.

    This one could sting for many reasons.

    You could not have thrown that 0-2 fastball more down the middle if you tried.

    Unfortunate. Hit the spot Stassi was set up for but needed it to be 6 inches higher.

    Well at least two of the most dangerous hitters in baseball this season are due up.

    The missing ingredient in our guacamole is cocaine. But we are about to load up here in the bottom half.

    That’s a lot of what ifs. Ultimately we’re a superior team and will win this division handily, but yeah 2 game swing still sucks.

    Its July. The division isn't being put away, nor is it being lost, regardless of this series.

    The A's are 1-8 against the Astros this season... that sort of anomaly finds a way to even out somehow, regardless of the talent differences between the two teams.
