    Maybe Dusty should give Altuve a day or two off to hopefully get his head straight. I think it's mental with Altuve. He's always been an aggressive swinger, but this is the worst he's looked at the plate in at least the past 5 seasons.

    My patience with Kyle Tucker and Josh James is wearing thin.

    Nothing would be more 2020 than blowing this lead and losing in extra innings.

    A win that feels like a loss. How pleasant! Nice job?

    We had a couple of recent losses that should've been wins so it evens out... right?

    McCullers was EXCELLENT, love to see that.
    Only had 7 hits, felt like more with all the runs, but I'll take a win.

    And the suffocation of the A's begins, we are within 4 and 1/2 games.

    Man we stink right now.

    but take the win and try to improve

    one improvement would be to stop running James out there

    I'll take whatever winning we can get, but I just thought of this:
    How sweet would it be if we pulled a 2018 Brewers-style comeback and snatched the division from the A's on the last week? The media/haters' tears>>>>>>>

    Of course, any playoffs is fine, but just imagine. Also, the Mariners crushed the Rangers 10-2. Don't want the Rangers making the playoffs but not us, that's, IMO, the worst-case scenario. We'd NEVER hear the end from them. Angels (last place) are 6 GB Oakland for the lead, 1.5 GB us for the second spot. At least I can go to bed knowing that if the season ended today we're in.

    Just now caught up, man Josh James - I just can’t. Way to bounce back Lance!

    I never played baseball. Is that frowned upon? annoying like waving off a pick a la Kobe?
    I'd trust the guy who caught for Cole and goes by Machete.

    Why are our home games now starting at 8 instead of 7? I hate being in the West.
