Open Thread: Game 42 - A's at Cleveland (cont)

Baseball_tiny by baseballgirl on

What could be worse than your offense being absolutely SHUT DOWN for three straight games, you might ask?

Well, how about your number one reliever absolutely going down after throwing a pitch? Casilla served up a homerun ball and immediately left the field with an arm injury.

To say that is not good is an understatement.

Oh yeah, and it's 4-1 Indians as we go to the top of the eighth.

Good idea to use Street here.

Gotta keep it to a 3 run lead so that Betancourt can still qualify for a save.

Geren used the bullpen like a fucking idiot today.
