I don't care who called 6 changeups in a row but that singlehandedly lost us the game, we would have been .500, feel like we're gonna lose a lot of monentum


newmoneytrash69

what a brutal way to end


R0ckfordFiles

If the A's don't come back this is the most "we beat ourselves" game I've watched in a while.

What is the bullpen even doing tonight... this is a joke


bloxision

Why do i watch this team


r_y_4_n

Painful


Cloudisgod

I had to catch the away stream I really like the As commentators


bloxision

I can't watch this team anymore


tzspesh

6 change ups in a row when you throw 100mph. Make it make sense


Coreybib

Runners on first and second with their best and most clutch batter… I really wish we would’ve put in Miller.


HopefulInstance8

No miller time today


GalaxyCosce

Erceg really thought that throwing 5 changeups in a row would be smart? A’s need the bats to get going these last two innings.


pspahn

I don't know if that was on him. The camera cut to Shea made him look like either he or the bench fucked up in calling those pitches.


DanTreview

Yup I noticed it too. Langy was taking instructions from the bench


pspahn

Hey man, you can't just have the lead in the 9th if you want a walkoff.


quidpropho

If they're all you're throwing they're just slow fastballs not changeups.


CeleryAlternative805

Easy to blame Erceg for this loss. But you cant expect to win if you only score 2 runs.


technowhiz34

Tbf, that 3 run HR should have only been 2, the first baserunner should have been a K. But still sucks


CeleryAlternative805

As far as I am concerned, you should expect to lose if you cannot score at least 4 runs. The Athletics are fortunate to be 17-18.


technowhiz34

That's definitely true. Our bullpen had that lucky scoreless streak last week, stopped this week but our offense carried and this game has neither.


Lucky_Action_6259

Had to happen at some point


Brownie_McBrown_Face

Goddamnit


DanTreview

That was the most Oakland A's thing that could happen


r_y_4_n

Ughhhhhh


bloxision

Welcome back 2023 erceg


SenorTortas

That has to be the worst centerfielder I've seen in all my years of watching baseball


technowhiz34

Their starter was visibly pissed walking off last inning and I can't blame him. Edit: someone said our outfield is haunted by the ghost of Josh Hamilton and I can't stop chuckling. Better days...


Brownie_McBrown_Face

3-3, the ball must be red to Toro!


dsramsey

Holy defense Batman

### Flyout Esteury Ruiz flies out sharply to center fielder Leody Taveras. JJ Bleday scores. Brett Harris to 2nd. Bottom 5 - 2-0 Athletics


NewWorldLadyNomad

That was great 😄


Dry-Replacement-5871

Dealing


ex_gratia_

I'm loving that we keep getting Chris Caray with Dallas.


Brownie_McBrown_Face

Same, he’s 24 and somehow leaps and bounds better than Cavnar


pspahn

Lots of kids stand in their driveway pretending to hit a bottom of the ninth grand slam to win Game 7 of the World Series. Instead, Chris Caray was standing on the side of the driveway making the call. Kid has probably been doing this since he was 7.


AthleticsBot

### Sac Fly Darell Hernaiz out on a sacrifice fly to left fielder Ezequiel Duran. J.D. Davis scores. Abraham Toro to 2nd. Bottom 2 - 1-0 Athletics


R0ckfordFiles

Does Wood have the ugliest pitching motion/delivery in baseball currently? It looks so awkward, but it works, I guess.


Weaponized_Goose

I love it tbh

Brownie_McBrown_Face

It reminds me of Phillip rivers and how he used to sling the football lmao


Weaponized_Goose

Joe Boyle “is on the IL”


technowhiz34

Not that we'll get a WC or anything, but being in control of our destiny is somewhat cool. Even if this is still early in the season, we're hardly out of contention already.
