Yikes
Terrible call
What an absolute garbage 3rd strike call.
Well, good series in Baltimore. We'll take that outcome every weekend.
If Yordan doesn't start on Tuesday we Riot
Guess we got payback for that AZ game we got out of the same way.
7nine
Competitive last ABs in the 9th
Go A's
Go A's
Go beat the crap out of the Rockies. GL until next year.
Just walking away after a hosed strike 3 call shows an insane amount of give up. At least give them ump something. We roll over an take it more than any team I've ever followed.
Cheaters
Alright good series win. Let's sweep Colorado and win 2/3 against LAA
Hopefully the A's pick us up.

Espada being addicted to using pinch-hitters like his life depends on it but leaving Dubon in there to take the AB with the game on the line is some galaxy brain stuff.
Are you really telling me using Caratini with the bases loaded in the 8th and 1 out with Urias batting is a stupid decision?
And Dubon hit it 97, just right at someone. AND it was a lefty, so the only PH options are Melton, Matthews, or Sanchez.
Joe made the absolute correct call.
Crappy way to end BUT
We had plenty of chances we wasted

Anyone else find Kimbrel's schtick even more obnoxious in the pitchcom era?

After watching our final chance at bat begin with Smith and McCormick (and Dubon prior to that), I'd be on the same vibe.

You, too. And stick that trash can comment up your ass on the way out.
Smith needs time away.

Not sure if sarcasm but if you're asking me whether I'd rather have Urias batting than Dubon, the answer is yes. Caratini can pinch-hit for anyone.
That was SO yesterday.

Your choices were Melton and Sanchez. Both of whom shouldn't ever be allowed to hold a bat against LHP.

Then we are going to disagree. I'd rather have Dubon bat than Urias. I at least know Dubon is going to make contact and not strikeout.

Hate to say it, but if/when Jake comes back, Chas is a goner.
Really feel for him. He's totally lost the ability to hit a baseball. Some of it is mental and he needs a change of scenery. Some of it is self inflicted. He's totally forgotten that he was an opposite field hitter.

When Dubon makes contact it's usually a GIDP so I'd take a K and living to fight another AB.
Mariners have 2 runs after 4 pitches.
Just have to take care of business against the Rockies.

Can't GIDP with two outs.
Right. Which is why I'd risk Urias K'ing so Caratini can then pinch-hit for the noodle bat who looks like he's bowling when he hacks at balls 3 and 4 and ends our last chance.
Or maybe Urias doesn't K because he has a semi-competent approach a little more often at the plate. Who knows.

Agree to disagree.
