The first inning was a real shitshow

Bregman drops under the ball and slings it. That definitely was an error. He had a bad throw yesterday too.

5Ks in a row.  A's pitcher coming for Deshaies!
There are three rules that I live by: never get less than twelve hours sleep; never play cards with a guy who has the same first name as a city; and never get involved with a woman with a tattoo of a dagger on her body. Now you stick to that, and everything else is cream cheese.

Fuck, Kalas. Bregman’s catch was the tough part. The error was on the throw, which he had time to make.

Altuve 2 run bomb off the batter's eye.

He obviously read the TZ this AM.

Second inning in a row JV doesn't get a 2 out check swing strike call.

This was ends up in a bloop single.

Strikeout ends the inning.

Thru 6 IP, 1 unearned run,  11 Ks, 2 BB for Verlander.

That strike 3 was sweet. After failing to bite on two sliders out of the zone, feeling proud of himself, JV freezes Laureano with one down the middle.

I hope Pressly is ok and pitches the 8th. Olson looms.

Needless to say, but that DP was much needed.  A scoreless 8th for A’s. On to the 9th, 4-1.

Sweet 5-4-3 erases a soft leadoff hit.

4-3 grounder ends the 8th.

Nice return for Pressly.

Solid win. 7.5 up.

Yordan looks to be in a slight funk. Took some fat pitches today.

Hard to tell on TV, but I thought he got quite a few changeups.

Huge win. That's why Verlander makes the big bucks.
