South Side Fireworks Man

Oakland is a house of horrors.....for the A's.

Great start!

Nice game to win. Let's sweep these turkeys tomorrow.

Nail it down, DR.

C'mon Adam, make them pay!

Big spot for Sanchez here.

No DP here please.

QUOTE (fathom @ May 16, 2015 -> 10:20 PM) I thought they meant someone has to go back with Crisp to prevent him from breaking something. ...Or hurting himself.

Rowand doing a great job in the booth.

Where did the Sox get this pitcher? He looks pretty good so far.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ May 16, 2015 -> 10:05 PM) He's still a very raw player. With the right coaching, he could be close to a superstar. Well that's not very encouraging with this organization. Do the Sox even have an outfield coach?

Abreu!

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ May 16, 2015 -> 09:07 PM) I do as well. He has great player insight. If it wasn't for all the drums and noise from the crowd you could hear him a lot better. The sound man should be able to boost the gain on Aaron's mike.

I like Aaron Rowand's commentary.

Avi comes through!

I'll say it again, "Automate the ball/strike calls!"

C'mon Avi, redeem yourself!

Can we at least score one here?

QUOTE (fathom @ May 16, 2015 -> 08:30 PM) This base running is absolutely ridiculous. Is McEwing just a mute over there? Hawk said he ran through the stop sign.

Avi.

Since they decided to use instant replay, why don't they have automated ball & strike calls? There are more bad calls at the plate than there ever have been in the field.

QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ May 16, 2015 -> 01:23 AM) Rowand did a nice job. He just needs to speak up and stop mumbling/whispering. I found it hard to hear about 20% of the stuff he was saying. QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ May 16, 2015 -> 01:24 AM) I thought he provided a lot of solid insight from the player's perspectives. QUOTE (RockRaines @ May 16, 2015 -> 06:29 AM) I liked his insight. I thought he provided good analysis and color commentary. His delivery was a little dry but he's just starting out. I think if he wants to pursue a career in broadcasting he can become an excellent baseball color man.

Rodon gives up his first HR to Phegley.

Good job by Rodon. Let's hope the defense starts to help him hold his pitch count down.

Okay.
