that was a Kruko favorite

As Matt Morris left the mound, usually losing, you’d hear about it being a Quality Start and him being a gamer. The two always run together for me.

Enjoy the game

I think he plans on Ziggy for 2, Street for 1

I have no problem with that.

Ziegler is fresh and Smith is a rookie

Ziggy could go two and then Street can blow it in the 9th. That’s how we roll.

what happened to closer by committee?

Huston’s not supposed to be on that committee.

On the radio...

Vince was saying “due to the 7 game losing streak” you have to put in the guy with the most experience. Stupid stupid stuff.

Huston. Huston. Huston.

I need a new username. It’s now only about being “like21” for me. Sadness…

Looking forward to Spring Training and the hope of another World Series title.

So fucking predictable

every pitch he threw was a bad pitch.

Not even pissed off because he is a loser who needs to be DL’ed and gone off this team

I hate unproductive outs and the A's are producing them at record production

The team needs to put Street on the DL to fix his groin

His slider has no bite, and his fastball has no life

Dont give him an excuse...

He just sucks. Those pitches suck….they arent bad because his groin is tweaked.

Bring back Hammer.

I'll probably get flamed for this

But I just feel bad for Street. It’s like every time he goes out there, his stuff has just left him. Hard to pitch when you can’t trust your pitches to fool anyone.

What did I tell you..

I knew having the bases load with no outs and not getting a run was gonna screw us. Always does.

On that come-backer...

1) I expected him to flub the grounder.
2) I expected the throw to go down the right field line.

We live for another batter!
