Sweep at the Coliseum!

I'm not dreamin'!

A's will be in a daze

as we continue to amaze!

[willie key]

With the weird travel we have it would be nice to win this game.  St. Louis to Oakland and then back home for a series and then back on the road again?

 

 

[Brian]

Brice Turang (L) 2B

Jackson Chourio (R) LF

William Contreras (R) DH

Jake Bauers (L) 1B

Willy Adames (R) SS

Sal Frelick (L) RF

Gary Sánchez (R) C

Blake Perkins (S) CF

Joey Ortiz (R) 3B

 

[TURBO]

Sure would like to see Ortiz creep up in that lineup, maybe switch him out for Frelick to start...

[HarryDoyle]

If you thought the calling of balls and strikes was bad the past two days, C.B. Bucknor is behind the plate today.

Yeah, I hear ya. But getting on in front of Chourio and Contreras might be worth it at #9.

Montas at 97/98 early on, he could really be huge for us if he can live there. Good lord is our pitching coaching staff amazing, 

[Brewcrew82]

Gary needs to be in the lineup everyday in the postseason.

[BCF]

Bucknor has missed like 5 pitches already today all against milwaukee

Is be fine with Sanchez and Perkins getting a ton of at bats 

[sveumrules]

Since Sanchez came back off the IL on 0724 he’s got 49 PA of 325/429/475 (154 wRC+) and that doesn’t include today’s bomb.

VIVA EL GARY.

[Brewcrew82]

They keep trying to kill, Chourio.

[HarryDoyle]

I'm not liking the way Chourio is getting beat up lately.

We need power. He's got it in spades.

I was kinda surprised to see him in the lineup as he was gimpy for a while after fouling a ball off his leg yesterday. He's played in most consecutive games of his career and today would have been a nice spot to give him a day off with Perkins back and the off day tomorrow. 

[Underachiever]

Ortiz has made three good plays today

[jason21nl]

Going to be a wide, awful zone today

He’s Angel Hernandez brutal

[Brewcrew82]

Some people might have some explaining to do with their reactions to the Montas trade.

Our announcers tell us the staff asked Montas, who is normally a strike out pitcher, to pitch to contact. That makes a lot of sense to me. Yes, he might give up few more hits, but our defense is outstanding, and walks have a way of killing us.

The first couple of pages on that thread were brutal.

[Brewcrew82]

Lol. That was the most eventful 3 pitch AB by Adames.

[sveumrules]

Casual nine up nine down for Montas, pumping gas.

Wiemer hitting 146/255/146 (14 wRC+) for Louisville.

Junis with a 5.84 ERA in a dozen mop up innings for the Reds.
