I hate these parasites. It should not be this loud there.

And there it is...a bomb given up by Gasser. Like death and taxes

Of all the places to direct ire today Gasser should be last on the list.

Which is why I'd rather play these bums at Wrigley.

Sure the hitting sucks, but Bobby Gas always seems to give up a bomb every game, no matter how well he's pitching.  And then as always after a bomb he kind of loses it. I just don't like him, he makes me nervous every single time he pitches. He doesn't have any great "out" pitches and gets out with voodoo magic

[trwi7]

Could be out of the inning if William challenged that.

[adambr2]

Gotta challenge that, Bill. Come on.

[rccola42]

Well this is it for Gasser. Another short start by our pitching staff.

The team is so clueless when it comes to challenges.   Like they have no strategy behind it.   They also have little idea of the strike zone. 

[yourout]

Curious which is the hardest MLB park to homer in?

Whichever one the Brewers are playing in 

[BruisedCrew]

Gasser did his best but he’s being supported by the Brewers playoff offense. 

Now the Cubs get to feast on the Brewers exhausted bullpen while Boyd coasts  along. 

[ImissDougMelvin]

Patrick is not the guy I would have brought in here. Worried it's pouring gas on the fire

This is false 

[Cool Hand Lucroy]

The calls for Contreras to challenge that pitch are exactly why the strike zone box on the broadcast is misleading.

That pitch has not been a strike the entire history of baseball. He'd literally have to be a robot to challenge it.

[adambr2]

Good work by Patrick to get out of it. Needed to keep it at 1.

Patrick just came in and got one out to end the threat *****

Brewers fans deserve the Athletics franchise. They don’t deserve to be fans of the best team in baseball

If you don't think a two strike pitch with a runner in scoring position and two outs is a great spot to challenge a close pitch, then how can you even coach them on when to challenge or not challenge?  

I guess we see now why they were banging a drum or whatever it was in spring training because they must have known they were going to be horrible at challenging if they didn't get audio cues.

ABS does not care about the entire history of baseball. 

Contreras has also challenged a lot more questionable ones than that.

Box of Chocolates shut that inning down.

Good point, but the very best catchers have adjusted to that:  challenging the often-taken up and away corner of the box is what separates the good from the average.

Cool, go root for the Athletics then and we won’t have to interact with you every day.

I mean you’re not wrong.  They will challenge a close pitch in first inning with nobody on but won’t when it’s really important.
