Expect Very Little Today
When Farhan got hired the writers asked him to describe his style. He said “no move is too small.” I’d counter that by saying “some moves aren’t big enough.” Zaidi has to appreciate the optics of this incredibly lame Pollack pick up. With other teams making bold moves all around MLB he simply can’t do a deal like this and expect to not get absolutely slammed. Especially if this is all he does. Saw a tweet today from someone that made a good point:
Oh that long out to the wall by Pollock is enough to make you believe in the evil baseball demigods.
Yeah, that was pretty fucking cruel.
Matos: But you told me to swing. Coach: Not like that.
Watching Mets-Royals, Matt Beaty batting for KC!
get a load at what Tachman did tonight for the Cubbies
Ha, Cubs 6 HRs, wind blowing out at Wrigley?
We need the powers of Powdered Toast Man.

Fucking Kruk watches Sabol go to the mound and says Bailey goes out to the mound.
Cobb gives us an old fashioned quality start.
Cobb’s 3rd Bomb allowed yikes..
Yeah Craw!
Great ABs from Matos and Crawford
Crawdaddy ties it up with a 2 run bomb 💣
Craw goes deep.
The Matos AB did it. Hung in there, raised the count, ripped one to the gap. Wore Gallen out at the tail end of his night. Mistake to Crawford. And we’re tied.
Diaz is approaching Kokomo Joe’s futility to start his career ..
Royals just beat Mets on a walk-off balk in the 10th.
Wade bomb!
Wade’s turn. Bang.
Late enough for Late Night!
Late night Lamont goes yard, that ball was smoked!4-3 Giants!!
Amazing LD HR from Wade. Beautiful.
a’s fans mounted a noticeable sell the team chant at Chavez Latrine in the 5th. I didn’t see any second tier tv stars behind the plate wearing sell t-shirts.
DBax haven’t seen scouting reports on Bailey?
Bazooka Bailey from his knees throws out another runner he’s just flat out awesome!!
That Bailey is pretty good.
I never thought I’d be excited by a defense first catcher.
He’s the Gold Glove catcher in the NL, although a rookie probably wouldn’t win it.
I know Bench did anyway…
It’s a baseball injustice that Belt never got a Gold Glove.
Out by a mile!
What a way to end a game. Manaea w save, walker the W in relief of Cobb.
Who gets the save, Bailey or Manaea?
Un-fuckin real!!!
Oh Bailey. What a gun. He gets the save, right? Manaea the hold?
Holy fuck!!!!
What a finish, great comeback win!
PATRICK BAZOOKA BAILEY the best there ever was atleast for this year!!!
Wild ass day, but a game like this smooths things out. Even Palooka looked serviceable in LF and at the plate. Well, maybe I’m stretching there. Is Sabol’s hand seriously hurt? Otherwise, great win against a very good team.
Tremendous team W. 3 run rally knocks AS Gallen out the game, Giants smoke HR off DBax pen and Bailey puts their lights out.
Craw hit an HR and made a mockery of my doubting him.
The A’s are trying to play a competitive game vs. the Dodgers.
Crazy stat. Atlanta’s SP Strider got 200th K in 123 innings. Fastest ever.
2nd fastest was Strider last year at 130 IP.
3rd fastest ever was Randy Johnson in 2001 at 130.2 IP. I had no idea He was THAT good..
Glad we won!
