Perhaps, but wrong order.

Anderson is gonna be the #1 of the group, then Cahill, Mazzaro, Braden, Outman.

If Gallagher and Gio can get their heads straight, look the hell out.

He's just a selfish POS.

He’s got such good bat control that he fouls off pitches that would be called balls on purpose so that he can get another chance to hit a single.

Oh my goodness.

That shaving cream in the face was awesome. I don’t remember the last time I’ve seen that on the A’s.

Poor Vin, though — his eyes are watering like crazy. He’s handling it well. Happy game! Yay!

I liked how he threw the remains at Vin like

“here, clean ya self up and congratulations!”

Mazzaro to the 60 day DL
