2020 ALDS Game 3, A's @ Astros, October 7, 2020

I’ll point out again Tucker had no idea where the wall was.

Ball may have been drifting.

I don’t know who’s more terrified. Me or Raley

Ugh.

And you STILL have to get 5 more outs…

They’ll relax after Davis goes yard.

Walks, hit batters. Just giving base runners and runs for free

Until the three run bomb from Pinder we had given up six homers accounting for six runs today and yesterday. We’ve been working w a slim margin our bullpen can’t handle without outstanding work from our now three starters (w Javier a reliever).

Well, this is who they’ve been all season. Quality starters, quality hitters, absolute garbage pen.

Maybe Hendriks sitting and coming out for a second inning will help.

And he can’t pitch three (I assume).

That’s a legitimate possibility.

Need some dialed in ABs.

Time for some vaunting. Game is not over, yet.

God, Raley is all over the place.

What??? He had a good first inning. I was wondering if he could go three.

I thought that, too, given the options at hand.

OK boys…just try to put some good swings on the ball, will ya?

No. This is 100% on James. The bullpen has been great in this series.

If the Astros don’t come back, I’d think about flipping the order of Javier and the bullpen day.

He was good enough in his first inning there was no doubt he’d come out for another.

What he did is let everyone know he can’t be relied upon.

Good start, Carlos.
