Yeah, great at getting us into Wawa.
Okay, Rhys Hoskins has to go back to playing first base. He runs like he has concrete blocks tied to his feet.

the bright side is the A's are running up Cole's pitch count so much this will be a bullpen game in a couple of innings and I think the A's have the edge there

if they aren't down by a billion first

oh i don't say that lightly, McHugh in particular is a beast, and the A's have four relievers with a better ERA+ than him (if I cheat and only count Fernando Rodney and Shawn Kelley's numbers since they joined the team :twisted:)

apparently we're just going to completely fall apart this inning first, though

The A's don't really have an 8th inning guy nowadays, they just have a tidal wave of setup men that they'll start using as early as the 5th.
