We got through the first without giving up a run!

...and on a related note, Urshela will need to play every game the rest of the way to qualify for the batting title. Something tells me he falls short.

..Tauchman rbi single.

1-0

Let's get hitterish.
This guy pitching for Oakland  
djm : 8/21/2019 10:35 pm : link
The As have won the last 18 starts this guy has started. He’s 9-0 in those starts. The As record is 21.

Kay said they figure he can miss 2 or 3 games. Hard to judge depends on how many ABs he averages in each game. He may get 4 ABs per game.
It's amazing how good Urshela has been this year.  
Dave in Hoboken : 8/21/2019 10:37 pm : link
The fact that he's in the conversation for a batting title is insane.
I’m sure this has been said 100 times  
djm : 8/21/2019 10:40 pm : link
Over the last few years but the Oakland As stadium sounds are ridiculous. As far back as I can remember there’s always been horns blowing and just weird instruments and now there’s a fucking matching band going off the entire game. It sounds like a fucking carnival.

Happ sucks.

Get behind 3-0 after that cheesy hit and Davis hits an oppo 2 runner. He is a useless pitcher.
I would leave him off  
section125 : 8/21/2019 10:47 pm : link
the post season roster. Hope Severino gets back then He, Tanaka, Paxton and German.
Had a chance to get out of the inning at only 25 pitches and blows it.

I mean that pitch was a foot outside against a guy who probably hasn't hit a hr since June. Geez
I had a bad feeling  
GruningsOnTheHill : 8/21/2019 10:49 pm : link
while they kept talking about how this guy led the league in HRs last year, but this year he sucks and they’ve had to drop him down to 8th in the order because he’s in an 0-for-whatever slide...
Happ

really doesn't move the needle in the right direction.

Please hit this retread turd and get back the lead.

4-1

Happ was shaking Gary off constantly - Coney contends Gary wanted him to throw more secondary stuff

so he does

weak-ass slider and gone.

5.58 ERA on the season.

We need to package him with Ellsbury and get them to Korea.

the stink eye after that HR. Happ is just fighting it, like a petulant child.
The Yanks would be crazy to hand the ball to either Happ or CC  
The_Boss : 8/21/2019 11:05 pm : link
In October.

Meredith last night reported how excited CC was at batting this weekend in LA. I immediately bet someone $20 if he actually pitches effectively for 2-3 innings to get an AB at Dodger Stadium.

11-3 with a low 3 era. Guys has two no hitters, one this year - how is he a bargain basement pitcher.
Major priority  
Kyle in NY : 8/21/2019 11:06 pm : link
next season is making sure Happ does not reach the incentives for his vesting option. They’ve got to get out of this deal ASAP
Didi chasing  
RasputinPrime : 8/21/2019 11:11 pm : link
somehow our guys aren't picking up Fiers slowpitches. He is one of the worst in the league at missing bats but tonight our guys are just doing him favors. Frustrating.
Another out on a pitch  
section125 : 8/21/2019 11:11 pm : link
out of the zone high....what is the point of working the count to get to 3-2 and then swing at a pitch out of the zone?

He is being paid almost 1/3 of Happ's salary for a reason. He is overproducing in a way that appears to magically occur when you pitch for Oakland.
he just keeps slipping out of each inning  
RasputinPrime : 8/21/2019 11:16 pm : link
someone has to take his meat downtown.
Happ has a 90mph heater  
RasputinPrime : 8/21/2019 11:22 pm : link
and no offspeed pitcher he get get past anyone. It's ridiculous that we are relying on him to win games. He and CC are long relievers playing out of position at this point.

He is so lucky to not get racked by Davis here.

If you are going to make a statement, then tell the truth. He's sitting 92 with several at 93 and 94 mph. He just Kd Davis at 94.

But to the point, I would not have him on the postseason roster at all. Can use CC in the playoffs like they use Cortes.
At least the Stros crapoed the bed vs the Tigers

He seems to throw several fastballs with one of them sitting at 89-90mph. Yes he can dial it all the way up to 94mph.

Either way, its astonishing how much he is making for a guy who was at best a duplicate of CC.
that was some strike call on 2-0

The new balls must really have made him obsolete. He had an ERA under 3 last year for us in 11 games.
