Athletics (Severino) vs Brewers (Patrick): 4/19/25, 6:10pm

If Payamps is still on the active roster tomorrow the team is being unserious. Can't even trust him in a low leverage situation.

[RobertCrawley]

Payamps still gets it up to 96 and has a good slider. He's fixable. He just needs to find his control. We need some of the dark arts from Hook.

[edfunderburk]

Maybe one of Murphy’s kids will explain during the postgame interview why it was a good decision to insert Payamps in the 9th inning of a one run game

[yourout]

At this point Id rather face Miller.

[duewizard]

Bloop and a blast fellas. Come on you got this

[jay87shot]

Good-bye Payamps, thanks for the good 2 years. Maybe a desperate team will give us a PTBNL for him.

[Bulldogboy]

If Payamps doesn't want to go down give him a injury and have him play catch with Conner Thomas.

He needs a phantom IL stint & rehab in Nashville … or DFA

He’s costing us wins

Maybe Hermione Granger can brew up a potion.

If we can fix him, he can help us.

Bullpen game tomorrow and he figured they weren’t going to score against Miller anyway.

I seldom disagree with you & appreciate most of your posts … but I can’t give a thumbs up to this specific post 

[Pugger]

Rats.

[liveforoctober]

dang, that was a really good at bat from Brice.

To a point I agree. The issue is how long can we wait. Myers will need a roster spot in a couple day with Woody close after (hopefully). Ashby is starting to get close and of course Yoho on deck. Maybe he gets another week to right the ship but time is ticking just based on roster space. It might be a perfect time for him to have some arm inflammation or something.

[yourout]

Outside of their defense there is a lot to like about the As.

[yourout]

That is a sick slider.

He's been really bad, I know. If his stuff was gone, I would completely agree. But the stuff still looks like it's there. He's just lost his control and probably his confidence.

It depends on when he is fixed

If he continues to cost us games - he could only make up a few 

Time to make a change

I prefer a phantom injury to a DFA … but either is okay with me

All true.

Disappointing loss … but not as painful as last Saturday in Arizona 

[Pugger]

Our pitching wasn't the problem tonight.  Scoring only one run ain't gonna cut it.

[wiguy94]

Chourio needs to figure things out with the chasing. It's been horrible this year. Coming into today his chase rate was 50% against breaking balls and he had two horrific chases against Miller in the 9th. I don't know if it's a vision problem or trying too hard to pull the ball leading to him getting his swing started too early, but it's become a problem.

[duewizard]

Good job by Turang. Chourio and Yelich looked lost

[Jim French Stepstool]

I'm not usually a big "feel" guy regarding who I think is going to win a close game. But I really thought we were done tonight after Turang singled in the 6th. One out, tying run on, good speed, Chourio & Yelich coming up.

Two pitches later, inning over. And neither ball hit hard. That was a sad sequence.

Gotta hand it to Patrick though. And Anderson continues to impress.
