7/6 Game two versus Oakland

[dtk9119]

Allowing the red hot playoff likely Astros to do this is one thing, the 33-57 A's is inexcusable

May use two position players to pitch today.

 

Today was not the day to pick the first game to watch in awhile

Serious question: if we DFA-Ed Tate, who would replace him? Vespi maybe, but he’s no better. McDermott is a starter, so who?

They are all MLB-level hitters. If you don't pitch, you get destroyed.

McDermott walks a zillion guys too. This team doesn't know how to teach control in the minors

Tyler Nevin is 79% of a major league hitter.

I will take the blame today.  This is the first Game Thread I started.  My bad.

Alvarez must be feeling bad, he's the only one not to get on base.

I was also referring to the inept offense the last 2 days. They should have gotten minimum 3 runs in the first and this may have been a whole different game.

When we lost 108 games in 2019 we beat the 93-win Guardians 13-0 on two consecutive days. Even the worst teams run into good fortune. The Orioles won a third of their 54 games (18) by what is considered a blowout win.

Scott and Hall also never figured out control here.

It's about pitch shape and spin.
