We are the kings of getting early leads and not adding to the leads, and lose the leads in the 8 th inning. Hope it is not the case tonight.

Their bullpen has been lights out and they are getting leads going into the late innings.

Until he finds it, blow away the 8th and 9th Rockies hitter with a fast ball. Those guys could only hit hangers.

Two bad hanging breaking balls by Kopech on 2 strike counts. Two unforced errors. A shame.

I hope you are right. Prefer Cease To Lynn but prefer Lynn to Giolito.

I don’t understand either. Cleveland is leading tonight 3-1 in the 8 th against the Angels. We must win the Cleveland game Thursday. Cease is our best bet.

I agree with Chicago guy Wilbon. Francona is an excellent manager and TLR has been an unmitigated disaster.

We let the game get away leaving Cueto in too long. as A’s are a crappy hitting team and they could only beat us with Cueto throwing one meatball after another.

Still it was an unforced error leaving Cueto in so long. He pitched to 9 hitters and allowed 6 runs. Cairo forgot we are in a pennant race.

But Cueto was done. Anyone in the bullpen would have been better. Should have someone warming up earlier.

Was left in way too long. We are in a pennant race, not a routine Sunday lineup game

Very disappointed with Cairo not taking Cueto out earlier. He had nothing in the 5th. Tomorrow is an off day. We needed get our bullpen in play earlier. Could have used Moncada at third this inning instead of Leury.

The A’s should be relegated to the Minors.

Agree. I recall a stat given in one of the earlier TV broadcasts that TLR had 123 different lineups in the first 124 games this season.

Should Cairo consider hitting Eloy ahead of Abreu. Eloy has been more clutch!

We have a few of those including Abreu who has also been a double play machine. Abreu has been hitting much better with no one on base. He is too impatient with me on, not working the count or waiting for a good pitch to hit. IMO.

Beats me. He is worse than Romy and Leury.

Good echoing of Vince Lombardi. It is Big Energy running out of juice.

Harrison has no business playing second base in this pennant race when you have Romy on the bench. Lynn looked pretty pissed on the mound with Josh bad defense.

It’s never over until it’s over. Keep the faith!

That was under the TLR regime, not anymore.

Will need to circulate the memo to not let Correa beat us next time we play the Twins.

They are winning for Tony to stay in Arizona.

Super Joe had to send Engel with 2 outs no matter what.

You got it!
