Also good news is we enter the game with a well rested bullpen for a change. If Lance can find away to get the team into the 5th with a lead I like our chances today.
Jacob Wilson, “the toughest hitter to K in the American League” per Blum, gets carved up by Lance on 3 pitches
Lance getting out of the first with less than 20 pitches is a coup.

Both pitchers looking very stout through two.
The A’s high-socks are pretty high quality

Nice effort by Caratini at the plate, but alas…BB, K, K, 2B, 2B plates 2 for the A’s
Lance stung by a leadoff walk and a couple of btb doubles
C’mon bats!
A baserunner!
Dezenzo with a 1-out single
Rodgers hits a picture-perfect GIDP that the SS boots…Pena up 2 on 1 out
Last year Peña swings at that ball four.

Nice oppo knock for Cam Smith to score Christian Walker who was a freight train coming around 3rd.

This is the first time I’ve noticed him. He looks pretty damn good.
