PrintThe game, that is. Halfway through, and it's 3-3.

I see that Geren has reverted...
to using 3 relievers only… game-in and game-out. Not a bad idea if those three are the only ones he can trust, but… ummm… maybe Billy should go out and get him some new ones, so that the current good ones don’t burn out.

Good old 22 man roster.

Certainly a better idea....

I was not in favor of Springer being on this roster, at all
but, some of the stat guys pointed out how wrong I was about that.

Most teams have specialists/crap after their 1-3 pen studs

7 Ks for Outman.

Bullpen options
Aren’t they a bit limited? I’m assuming Bailey is unavailable. Breslow presumably would face the lefty sluggers – lucky him. I guess Ziggy is the closer, if there’s a game to close.
woo.
that’ll be fun, huh?

i wonder what the record is for fastest half inning
not in terms of pitches, but in terms of time elapsed between first pitch and 3rd out. there must’ve been some 3 pitch half innings, right?
Hi ho.
Cunningham has a concussion
No surprise, but he will be out for a while
Denorfia?
"And Julio Franco is batting right-handed!" -- Wayne Hagin, A's radio play-by-play, mid-80s
That would be my assumption
I don’t know how he is doing in Sacramento, but he has big league experience. And the A’s need a center fielder not named Rajai.
Yeah, Denorfia's up now.
I assume he’ll be the starting CF. Spartacust to RF, Giambino to DH, Barton to 1B.
Assuming Cunningham is placed on the 15 day. Which nobody wants, because that means things are seriously bad.

It'll be retroactive.
They’ll do it in about a week.

Besides, the Blicks plan doesn’t really sound that terrible to me. And it’s temporary, until Buck comes off the DL.
Boy that was Ball Four
Thanks for fouling it off!

Unintentionally, but yeah.
He stayed in long enough to score on a double, too.

Ouch. Holy shit, that had to have hurt.
I hope Cunningham’s alright.

I think they should walk Span and pitch to Mauer.
OK not really.

Walk them both and pitch to Morneau
3 strickouts!?!? HE’S AWFUL
"I’m Joey Devine, I’m what Joba Chamberlain would be if he was good and nobody had ever heard of him."
I would think Mauer
would love to face Breslow since he caught him.
Probably know exactly what is coming.
is he working at an Arby's?
No?
Then I don’t feel bad for him.

Sucks that the brother-in-law left pot in his car,
but it never would have been discovered if Adam hadn’t driven off the road. Article says he was DUI, and I don’t see him denying that part.

Good call keeping Wuertz in - good enough matchup with Span
Breslow should start the 8th, pitch to Mauer and Morneau, then go to Ziggy.
