Open Game Thread: Game 27 - A's at Anaheim (cont.)

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.
