It’s a glorious day here in the valley as well, although we’re into Englishmajor’s “too hot” zone already, for sure.

It’s the usual weekday day game = no TV. I think it’s a holdover from the days where the TV broadcast was on KICU and they had too many viewers who called in to protest about preempting Judge Judy. It makes no sense with Comcast, since they don’t have any regular program schedule to disrupt.
For Colon’s first 10 starts this year, his highest pitch count was 97, per the stated plan coming out of spring training. In his last 9 starts the lowest number is 96, he’s exceeded 100 6 times and had a high of 116.
I can do this since I’m at home, but if you click on that #3way tag, I’ll warn against then clicking on any of the photo links that come up in the tweets.
I’m a little worried about Collapseslow shifting back to second after injuries and years…

I don’t think he’s going to have all that great of an August, either.
He’ll heat up at the end, tho.

That’s overly cautious to me. Off day tomorrow, and all three of the trifecta have not been used much lately. Who knows how that series will turn out, but you had a tight, winnable game today.

No, we are. Tickets to 1D was Primera’s one and only Xmas wish. And since the lads had the poor foresight to schedule their Oakland trip in the middle of our Tuolumne vacation, she and I drove back to Oakland today and will drive back to the Sierras tomorrow. Scoring some serious Dad Karma points.

For the record, that was a great show. The stage/light/laser production was spectacular. The guys playing the instruments were really strong. And the 1D boys put a lot of effort into their performance. Not my music of choice to be sure, but good solid entertainment.

Reddick scratched with a headache. I don’t love the sound of that.
Yeah, I thought they should have taken him out of the game after the collision.
Agreed. Irresponsible not to in that game situation.
Video?
Here
Thanks. True, they should have gotten him out right there
Well, I hope he’s okay and I hope he’s playing for another team next year.
I’m pretty sure there is a Dickdarm joke somewhere in today’s matchup for our German-speaking friends…
Verlander is 21:2 versus NL teams
And of course, he lost versus Zito when it counted
OMGio.
18 degrees Celsius at the Coliseum today!
It’s a glorious day here in the valley as well, although we’re into Englishmajor’s “too hot” zone already, for sure.
Fuck it, I love me some CY25
Coco hit right habded, interesting.
Lowrie too.
Quite often done versus knuckle, though
Why?
You fuck with me? I duck with you!
Mantle imitators
Ruh roh
Ouch
Is this game not televised?
I’m only seeing the Toronto feed on mlb.tv
Cool. Because nobody has an interest in watching a first place team take on a knuckleballer

Coming up at 1:30 on CSN California: Nutribullet — Feel Better! Live Longer! Enjoy Life!
CSN is skipping several games in August, but for at least a couple the other team’s telecast will be available in the Bay Area on MLB Network.
I had no idea the Judge Judy lobby was so powerful.
Have you seen how much money she makes in a year?
I’ve only seen one pitch at 90 from Colon…
He seems 3-5 mph less than usual. That is not good.
For Colon’s first 10 starts this year, his highest pitch count was 97, per the stated plan coming out of spring training. In his last 9 starts the lowest number is 96, he’s exceeded 100 6 times and had a high of 116.
He does not sound sharp.
An inefficient 87 pitches through 5 innings, and JCS was already up in the 5th.
#3way
Yep — most three-ways do not end well.
Or so Dan Savage tells me.
Were #hugetits involved?
I don’t think Blanton can drive a 3-way anymore
I can do this since I’m at home, but if you click on that #3way tag, I’ll warn against then clicking on any of the photo links that come up in the tweets.
Run, nerd, run!
Sounds like Bautista made one heck of a throw on that; you’d have to in order to fire it into the stands from right field.
I’m so glad he’s no longer on this team.
Listening to this half-inning reminds me how poorly Vince communicates the vitals. Yeesh.
ugh
I give up, CY.
Glad that 1) I dont have radio reception here and 2) I must get back to work.
Go score some more runs while Im gone.
Looked like a pretty bad call on 2-0 to Vogt.
ALways run out your pop-ups, kids.
recognition for the 11th A’s player at the coli.
Sogard just can’t stop scoring on errors I see.
Being at the game really drives home how terrible sLowrie’s defense is.
I’m a little worried about Collapseslow shifting back to second after injuries and years…
Maybe no one will hit grounders to 2B when he’s out there.
Solarball
Lucky he only gave up 2. Hopefully 2 extra days off will help him.
Coco’s stats since April have been ugly.
I don’t think he’s going to have all that great of an August, either.
He’ll heat up at the end, tho.
Go Bert!
Callaspaneris?
Thank goodness our long Fosse nightmare is almost over.
Our long CY nightmare however…
Former members of the Giants bandwagon booing Melky?
The day melky got suspended was the day America lost its innocence.
I don’t think there’s any shortage of reasons to boo him. We were yelling “Hey Melky, 404, page not found” at him on Monday.
See that’s funny.
Brilliant!
Ahhh hahahaha
on jays’ broadcast, the interpretation was that “bay area fans” are still hurt or let down.
I booed him because I was pissed off that he helped the Gnats get to the postseason.
You know what would be a great way to welcome Alberto to Oakland?
Callaspie?
Tittle tried “Pie-aspo” on Twitter, but it sounds much better than it looks.
I think the Suck Ass/Green/Callaspo spot on the roster is cursed.
Ok bullpen: we just need another ~15 scoreless innings and we’re sure to win this thing.
0 != ~15.
{starts dialing A’s talk to complain about bullpen}
2 straight games without an earned run from the offense.
yet
Hey, they earned those runs. Balls don’t pop themselves up.
Gotta love 2 runs on 8 hits and four errors (?!?)
versus 2 runs on 9 hits and 2 passed balls
…3 runs.
BOOBIES
Also, I think we need a catcher who can, uh, catch.
{closes eyes}
Should ibb bautista….
Can we go back and try it that way?
that’s what I thought.
I think it’s time for Sonny Gray to get the FK over here if Melvin thinks Jesse Chavez is the best reliever in the pen after C/D/G.
Puke.
Blevins will be real happy to flip the page on his calendar tonight.
The good news is the A’s will still be in first place when Texas leaves town on Sunday.
I remember Monday quite fondly. Can we go back to Monday, please?
That’s it. New host!
I’ll go take a quick mini-vacation somewhere to give you some time to do it.
The trade of Grant Green appears to be weighing heavily on their minds.
Well, they probably all read the book he wrote, The Quiet Athletic, and are big fans.
Well, kids…
It really sucks that Doolittle only pitched to 2 batters and Balfour only threw 12 pitches. Should not have lost this game.
I think that was a good decision with Tx coming up.
That’s overly cautious to me. Off day tomorrow, and all three of the trifecta have not been used much lately. Who knows how that series will turn out, but you had a tight, winnable game today.
I’m with lc on this one. That day off tomorrow means they should have been available for more.
Have mikeA and mikeV ever been seen with AV anywhere?
I do not believe so, no.
Thanks, and go As.
Hmm…this either means something or it doesn’t…probably the latter.
My bedroom? HEY-O
tripod!
Thanks, and go As.
LOL!
Sometimes we play scrabble together. I like to make words with the letter “a”
So much fail.
Also we were sitting in the same section as ****.
Can I buy a vowel?
It’s usually found in a goat.
Hmm…so it’s either Nico or some sort of stinky cheese.
same thing.
Yeah, I’m not seeing a difference.
I like stinky cheese.
Hmm… well… I guess there is a difference.
I’m so sorry.
How many times did he tell others around him the ump called a pitch incorrectly?
Did he recognize you?
Probably.
Well at least you don’t know for sure. That’s good.
Hell of a performance by Jerome Williams. Here comes the Angels bullpen.
Yup.
And kablooey. 6 game lead down to 4 within 24 hours.
Three straight walkoffs. Thanks losers.
if only williams and wilson traded games…
Kyli bait: I am posting from Sec 107 in Oracle, waiting for One Direction to take the stage.
Oh man, brutal. I thought you and the Upgrades were on your annual trip to Camp Mosquito this week; guess not.
No, we are. Tickets to 1D was Primera’s one and only Xmas wish. And since the lads had the poor foresight to schedule their Oakland trip in the middle of our Tuolumne vacation, she and I drove back to Oakland today and will drive back to the Sierras tomorrow. Scoring some serious Dad Karma points.
Wow. You’re the best dad ever.
I assume you timed things so you’re peaking right about now.
Come on. She’s better than 1D.
Save the 2D jokes, Mike.
Cuttin’ his balls off in advance!
Rawr, Nurse Gertie, Rawr!
:(
Thanks, and go As.
For the record, that was a great show. The stage/light/laser production was spectacular. The guys playing the instruments were really strong. And the 1D boys put a lot of effort into their performance. Not my music of choice to be sure, but good solid entertainment.
Is Primera in 1D heaven?
That’s what you do it for, Dadstar.
indeed
Very nice!
cool dad
Man, I love Vince Scully
He just said that a Kershaw bunt “looked like a poached egg, landing on toast.”
