4.00 WHIP and ERA of 27.00? Nowhere to go but up!

Good news: Rays lost. A's lost. Bad news: Brian Johnson. Chris Owings. Indians came back from an 8-4 deficit to tie it against the Royals in the 9th. Good news: Our team has some baseball left to win it.
Edit: Cleveland also lost. Let's get this game!

Johnson shouldn't have BJ on the back of his jersey, he should have BP!

Johnson won't be in there for much longer - now the concern becomes our offense. Can we dig out of the hole? The motion of the Padres pitcher seems to have our bats mystified so far

"Hey JBJ - you are a much better hitter when you go to left"
"Nah - I like to jack those home runs to right"
"yeah, but between those homers, you are pretty awful"
"la la la - I can't hear you - la la la"
Stubborn and just creates a black hole in the line up night after night. Frustrating.

Listening to this conversation between Walker and OB - "Hernandez can hit lefties." "So can Brock Holt". "I guess Cora just wants to get Owings into a game so he doesn't sit for too long".
WTF is that? And this is a big game?

Frustrating. If he's literally refusing to go the other way - and I don't believe he is - then it's a profound coaching failure not to correct his approach. And if he is simply ignoring the coaching to the team's detriment, then he should be released. But again, I don't think that is what's happening.

Thing I don’t get with Johnson is the walks. If you have average stuff, you can’t walk so many guys. I assume it comes from nibbling, but still. Painful.

I do like what Sam Travis has shown us. And what a JDM bomb!

Not sure how much Brasier will have today, after a lot of pitches yesterday.

That's why Marco, not Owings, should be starting

This Munoz guy has pretty great stuff and is only 20. He's got the Craig Kimbrel tool kit and is sitting over 100.

Error on Machado. Schadenfreude to the 10th power.
Separately, why is his nickname on players weekend not, “asshole pariah” or something similar.

We just know that we'll be agonizing over whether we'd rather have Matt Barnes or Sandy Leon hit in the 9th, right?
