Catcher Josh Phegley about to pitch for Oakland

>>67449222
Neat
Jeanmar Gomez is the major league leader in saves. What.
>a 9 era reliever with 18 hits 11 earned runs and 3 homeruns in 11 innings is our set up man in a 1 run game
the absolute worst part isnt even that this season is going to be a bust and dolan is going to be traded because the team is too cheap to give him an actual contract he deserves along with half the team walking and martin and tulo becoming untradeable negative war players
the absolute worst thing is they arent going to learn anything, they are gonna put together another bullpen with waiver wire garbage and bottom of the barrel bargain shit and do this all over again next season again

the offense is fucking shit the top 4 didnt get a single hit this game against ross "who the fuck am i, i literally wouldnt exist in the minds of anyone if it wasnt for the no hitter i got pulled from that one time" stripling
if it wasnt for pillar we wouldve been shutout by a fucking rookie
>>67449777
they didn't run out of pitchers. they just didn't want to waste any relievers on a pointless inning
now go back to your designated bunter
This umps fuckin' awful.
>starting pitcher leaves in the 5th with an injury
>leaving the bullpen to finish the rest of the game
What could go wrong?
>>67449800
offense isnt shit in terms of talent, they are just playing like absolute garbage for some completely unexplainable reason
also, we lead the fucking LEAGUE in losses by relievers. 9 losses
>>67449892
fun fact
the reds bullpen actually has more wins than ours
Meme teams getting put in their place
>>67449943
do you think they will snap out of it? like, what happened to cecil, remember when he went like 35 straight innings without an earned run? i think the offense will look better at some point and the bullpen literally couldnt be worse..
its just sad that the starting pitching is so unexpectedly good and this is happening
i hate baseball
>Getting swept back to back series
Ausmus gone when?
>>67449800
The team isnt all that bad anon. The offense is worse than lastyear but the rotation has been fucking amazing. The bullpen has been a dumpster fire all year and 80% of the reason they've lost most of these games. Cecil and Storen have blown a large part of games. Floyd, Chavez and Biagini have been okay.
Its frustrating as fuck watching a starter pitch great into the 7th or 8th and just watch the bullpen completely piss away the game. Unfortunately there isn't a lot they can do. This is what they have short of a trade.
>4(four) HRs allowed today
>6(six) combined with bullpen
>best reliever was second string catcher
JUST
>>67450020
do you have any idea how many times i thought it cant get any worse and it fucking does
cecil and storen are at almost realistically unbelievable levels of shit, i mean if they somehow get worse than this then im not even going to be upset its almost a privilege to be witness to something this catastrophic

They have been no-hit too many times to let that shit go down again. It's probably in their official playbook to go for bunt singles if they are hitless through 2 at this point.
Just got back from Os game. Won 11-3. Feels good man. Ricard made some incredible catches.

>David Price says he’s got it all figured out. Dustin Pedroia went up to Price in the visitors’ clubhouse at Yankee Stadium Sunday afternoon and showed Price a photo of his delivery from past seasons versus a photo of Price now. Price looked at the photos and noticed a difference in the positions of his arms and lift leg.
>“Dustin came up to me in the food room and showed me two pictures,” Price said. “He’d been looking at video of himself hitting against lefthanders [Saturday] night. He saw a video of me. He said, ‘I got two pictures. This is when I faced you in 2013 and this is you right now.’ Whenever I saw that, it all made sense.
>“It’s an easy fix,’’ the lefthander said.
So let me get this straight.
The manlet, our fucking 2Bman, found out that Price was doing some stupid shit, probably tipping his pitches, and showed him.
And our coach, a pitching coach in previous years, didn't notice this?
And our $217M pitcher didn't figure this out?
And this is actually his issues, not the fact he's declining?
oh man.
This just makes me fucking mad.
>>67452987
his issue is that hes easily shook and when anything goes bad it goes real bad real fast
his collapses arent continuous shelling its a string of hard hits that result in a lot of runs bunched together
>>67452987
We had this fucking thing last year with Fernando Rodney, except the FUCKING BLUE JAYS HAD TO TELL US. IN LATE FUCKING JULY
>>67453035
I agree, which makes me even angrier over this article because it's a classic "oh haha i see the issue dont worry guys i got it all figured out easy fix no problemo i swear guys i know whats going wrong, wont happen ever again i promise"
And he's going to get shelled next outing because he's overthinking shit with that throwing mechanic. Just fucking watch.

>"He's been good. He's not the one who went out there and played. It was our fault. It's easy to blame the manager for this and that. We're the ones who have been horseshit," he told Matthew B. Mowery of the Oakland Press. "I don't think it has anything to do with the manager, or somebody else. We've got to go out there, stay up, and play better baseball."
Who /firstplace/ here?
>>67453841
He was bad in the field before he tore two (2) ligaments in his leg. Joe Maddon was the only manager dumb enough to put him out there in the first place, so there is no way he tries it again.
>>67453880
>>67453880
just barely now

>>67455046
Do they hit one pitch outs off the bench?
I think Headley is aiming for the Yankee team meme player now that Drew is gone
>>67455082
I don't believe you. Tulo maybe because he at least how produced some offense. But not Martin.
>>67455109
Martin has 1 extra base hit compared to Chase's zero. Chase has more base on balls and less strikeouts. Martin is slugging higher than Headley but what settles it all is >>67455101 tbqh
>>67455101
>Do they hit

>>67455082
