Yes
5-3 Rangers now. BoCro actually avoided the roll-over on the outside fastball.

1st pitch, 2nd pitch, no difference from Ellis of late
All he seems to do is pop the ball up of late.
He always seems to have a good second half but boy he sure kills some potential good rally’s in the first half

Looking at it from the other side...
when you have the worst pitching staff and the worst defense in baseball, a 2-run lead going into the 8th inning does not feel even remotely comfortable.

Not only that, he looked comfortable doing it
And he did the two out sign quite casually as well, like he’s used to catching balls and making signs

He's too far from the plate again, so he's diving again and missed it
Notice how he nearly fell across the plate after fouling it back?

I'm watching this on EI...
Y’know, I can listen to Hawk, or the the tools who do the Angels broadcast, but the only feed I mute is Texas. I can’t stand the little play-by-play turd. All he does is chatter nonstop, and almost everything out of his mouth is completely inane. The A’s being behind the entire game just adds to my irritation with this mouthy little jerk.

As if it wasn't going to happen sooner or later.
I was getting REALLY sick of Fosse talking about how Brown and Casilla haven’t given up any runs. It’s like they were trying to jinx them.

Hannahan is really not a very good hitter.

even if we wouldn’t have a third baseman if it went to extras.

Hannahan seems vulnerable to the high fastball.
Can’t hit ‘em, can’t lay off ‘em.

Watching him hit is really painful.

Well that was a frustrating game to watch.
Unlike yesterday, where you actually felt we could come back and win, this time you knew it was over early.

I want the A's to win as much as anyone
But as soon as I saw Gaudin not being able to put Milton away with 2 strikes and then the 3 run bomb, he gave up, I said to myself, “Game Over”
Of course I watched the whole game and of course I wanted the team to come back but with this team you usually know deep down that there is NO chance because after watching the hitters the last two nights, you wonder how they score runs at all but they do.
Tomorrow we face another gascan and they better win. Angels have it real easy tomorrow with Steve Trachsel going and I looked up his stats and they bat better than Ted Williams against him on the past and since Trachsel sucks 99 percent of the time, I see no reason why they will not pound him again.
Maybe Saunders will get rocked
