I haven’t checked the numbers but that’s definitely not true just based off of the insane amount of foul territory Oakland has. 

Over the last 3 years, OPaCY has a park factor of 99…Oakland is 97.

There isn’t much separation.

All of us who originally had season seats - or even regular seats - for this game had to scramble when they changed it from a day game to a Sunday night at 7pm game.  Most folks who come to Sunday games bring their kids to run the bases (it's an amazing contrast between Sunday crowds and Friday night crowds).  Anyway, I imagine a lot of people had to just eat their cost when they couldn't rearrange their schedules or sell their tickets after they changed the time. 

100% this.

I have no idea why Adley threw it. He was super close to bag. Maybe he didn’t anticipate it. 

Probably. Could have been blocked too.  Still, a MLer should catch that ball.

That was pitching in Oakland. Irvin's road ERA was 4.57 in 2021 was and 5.26 in 2022. Irvin doesn't have the stuff to be a full time starting pitcher in the AL East.

Well he was doing fine for a while. He needs to make some adjustments and command his pitches better. 

[Ripken]

I've seen slow pitch softball guys with better stuff than Irvin's had his last two starts.  Awful.

Arriving now, I haven't read the thread. I think we have seen the last of Irvin as a starter. I hope that this is not an earth-shattering take.

Please get on, Jorge.

It also doesn't help that alot of people have to work early the next morning.

I've been watching the game with my Dad and we were both talking about how obvious it was that Irvin was going to continue to get battered and that Hyde should've pulled him after that third run scored.  Maybe we're off, but I think it was an awful call to leave him in.

Guys, Irvin hasn't been great, but Suarez will go to the pen before him. We are giving starts to a Kremer coming back from injury and Cade Povich. Irvin isn't going anywhere soon. If he gives you a 4.25 ERA for the year it's about as good as you could reasonably expect. 

This is Cole Irvin. It's pretty hard to be this bad let alone stay in the rotation for a contending team.

I disagree strongly. Suárez deserves to keep starting, for now. Irvin doesn't.
