      I would think closing the roof might trap some smoke in there and make it worse. There are some rain showers in the area so they might have to close it anyway.

    Khris has 5 hits (35% of his season total) in his last 5 games.

    Yesterday the Rangers’ radio announcers were surprised that Melvin sent up Seth Brown instead of Khris as the tying run in the 9th, notwithstanding the RH/LH issue. There’s still a lot of trauma there from his previous devastation of the Rangers.

      KD is great in matchups where the pitcher doesn’t throw hard. For that reason, I’m not sure I would’ve used him against their closer.

      I would’ve sent up Murphy though, who’s not only leading the A’s in hard hit % and wRC+, but he’s been one of the best in the league in hard hit % too (right ahead of Juan Soto coming into today).

    • lenscrafters Sep 14,2020 3:58 pm || Up

      I think he needs to do something different with his fastball. Either add backspin to the 4 seam or develop a cutter. Sinkerballers just don’t fare well in today’s launch angle environment. Montas has the same problem too.

      it was, but I am not overly concerned. Right now, short of a collapse, they are in the playoffs and whomever they are matched against they need to win 2.

      All the playoff teams, but the A’s and astros, have a good #1 and a decent #2. It’s going to take getting timely hitting from olson and canha and cody ross or whoever they just signed.

      Yeah, end of a long day working at home I get overly casual too.

      Also I don’t care that much about this pointless oddity, shut up already. Maybe talk about the amazing Mike Minor performance we’re watching instead.

    OK, I don’t think we have a bullpen train wreck in us that can blow this one.

    David Forst would like note made of the contributions from Minor, La Stella, and Lamb here today.

      This has definitely been a nice bit of Homer Baileying by Minor.

    Id like to point out that 7 inning games are garbage and pur team likes the full 9 thank you.

    Eat innings, save the bullpen, that’s exactly why they traded for Minor. Nice job tonight.

    Chapman plays game one, its a win. I think we lost 2 outs there.

    PLay 9 innings, its a win.

    I don’t like the 7 inning games as much as I would have liked them in 2014 or 2015 or years I cannot recall.

    I have $5. No I don\'t.

    I think just about all of us are familiar with Telegraph Ave. near the Cal campus. As the excellent architectural writer John King says, there is no possible way to be neutral about this building.

      Yuck.

      The owner of nearby Rasputin Records, Ken Sarachan, purchased the fenced-off lot in 1994, but let it sit empty until the city moved in 2011 to foreclose on the site. One year and one lawsuit later, the city dropped the threat

      What he leaves out is that Sarachan bought it, and then left it vacant and rat-infested for so long, to prevent the owners of Amoeba across the street from buying it and expanding. And I wouldn’t be surprised if, when he was finally forced to build something, he made it as hideous as possible for similar reasons.

        While screwing Amoeba was definitely a goal at the onset I don’t think that fully explains the entire vacant rat-infested lot period. I’ve heard credible suggestion that Sarachan’s own mental health was a big factor in the later years. Also, the City was two-faced and ineffectual in pursuit of the tools it has at its disposal to force sale or development much sooner

        Sarachan sold the land before ground was broken, so the new owners weren’t bound to follow through on his bizarre vision. I agree with both the original architect and John King…it does look like crap, not remotely realistic to the ostensible model, but it’s also at least not the same building we see everywhere else in town, reduced to the most boring common denominator through tortuous public processes.

        Makes the Minor acquisition even better with five-man rotations in play.

        So the extra days are going between the opening best-of-3 round and the Division Series at the neutral ballparks, I guess to put everybody in the bubbles for a few days before the Division Series games start. October 28 for Game 7 is the same as the original schedule; Opening Day was going to be March 26, early because if they had pushed that back one more week, Game 6 of the World Series would have been on Election Night.

      Certainly the league should have cancelled our games yesterday, but when they didn’t, I don’t get why the teams didn’t just get together and decide not to play. If they could do that for the protests a couple weeks ago, why couldn’t they for conditions that made playing unsafe for their own health?
