A's up 6-2 going to the top of the seventh. Weird strike zone tonight. I don't even think the home plate ump can figure it out.
LET'S GO A'S!!!!!!

Especially if we add on, but even if we don't
I’d lift Chad after 6 innings (96 pitches). Let Brown, Devine, and Embree take us to the finish line, with Casilla and Street hopefully able to rest up for tomorrow.
