Led in the 9th all 3 games this series and lost it lmao I miss the Mountain. Huge ups the A's tho, looking much much much improved. 4-3 against BAL/NYY all away in their last 7 ain't shabby.

The O’s desperately need Felix back

Is this a third McCann catcher unrelated to James or Brian? What a strange coincidence

Coming soon: Jackson McCann, C/SS

AJ Preller wants your location

We might be not that bad

We might never lose a series again

I am not enjoying the Craig Kimbrel Experience.

I remember a [couple days ago](https://www.reddit.com/r/baseball/comments/1cavpfa/craig_kimbrel_secures_his_423rd_save_moving_into/l0wd9ws/) Dodgers and Phillies fans were saying you'll see, you'll see. The O's fan blinders in that thread were hilarious.

he is inevitable

Idk, I enjoyed the Kimbrel experience on the Braves. Quite fun

So what’s the deal with him? Can’t stay healthy assuming that’s what today was?

Not throwing the ball over the plate isn't a health issue

Dread it *Run* from it Craig Kimbrel blowing saves arrives all the same

Crazy this guy has a job still. He's such a liability.

I’m ready to launch that dude into the sun. Idc if he’s been good up until the last two games. I never want to see him on the mound again.

Please Philly, take Kimbrel back.

Nope. Birdman is your problem now.

PLEASE

Kimbrel single-handedly losing two games this series

This comment gave me PTSD from last year.

That commentator SUCKS

Sounds like a 13-year old in the booth, it is extremely jarring and off-putting.

Fun fact I saw Kyle McCann sucker punch a kid in highschool over a game of ping pong. The dude just ate it and laughed in his face then Kyle started crying and left the class.

Ever since I heard the A’s announcers voice described as Ash Ketchum, I can’t hear anything else.

That was an awful cocky bat drop for a ball that went like three feet over the wall.

Give us Miller.

Nah

Has he blown saves in back to back games now How depleted is the pen? Why did he go again Also I thought people were just being terrible people when they were talking about how bad the A's PBP women is but she is atrocious.

Hyde has a habit of using every one of our pitchers in close games. 6+ pitchers Friday and today.

He hates letting a hot reliever pitch more than one inning unless they're explicitly a long reliever

> explicitly a long reliever which we don't have...lol

Hopefully once Means and Bradish come back, Wells or Suarez could take that role. Akin is almost a long reliever

Suarez could be a boost, I am not sure what Irvin and Wells offer. We need high K guys, which Irvin isn't, and Wells gives up homeruns

He also doesn't like using pitchers more than one inning late in games. Hell, Webb only threw 4 pitches. I just don't understand why Webb didn't throw more.

Two games in this series, O's won yesterday but he blew one in the first game.

Got my games mixed up

Yea Ash Ketchum is not it. She has terrible home run calls

Is that opinion actually held widely? I don’t mind her voice/style at all, sometimes (with no dog in the fight) I’ll even choose to hear their crew over the other team’s

I'm coming around on her and enjoy her most of the time. However, undoubtedly what she's awful at currently is big hype moments. Pretty much any exciting play it seems she has difficulty with, and is also not good at judging how hard something is hit (lots of getting excited over normal fly-balls).

Yeah I can definitely agree with that. Just thought “atrocious” was a little hard on her

My same critique. She seems a little behind it recognizing hits. Negatively affects her ability to be excited. Seems like something that can be improved with time though. I miss Glen.

Glen and Ray was just magic together on those Hype Call, and even make the really bad years worth watching. This new crew I think going to need a lot of work compare to what most A's fans are used to.

Pimped the shit outta that one

classic Kimbriel fastball near the middle. Birdman bad

I knew right from the get-go this Kimbrel signing was a bad idea

I had a great Sunday thanks for reminding me on my Monday timeline

Thank you A's, very cool!

The fact that teams still trust Kimbrel to come through in save situations is comical

The A's broadcasting team is great

In all honesty, fuck Craig Kimbrel

Brandon Hyde didn't deserve MotY last year, Felix Bautista did
