[WhiteMamba]

alright. Top of the order for the halos.

up 2 runs bottom 9th.

 

[WhiteMamba]

Bullpen By Committee. You share the highs & the lows. Doolittle just outmatched. Too bad Gregerson wasn't available. No guarantees there either. Good win, lousy box score. Which is better than bad loss, lousy box score.

that was an up and down game for sure. I can't believe Oakland ended up pulling it off.

Haha, I can. We have a history of never giving up. When you never give up there is always a chance for victory.

I just wish Doolittle wouldn't have given up on that slider so quickly.

Doolittle. 4 of 11 in his career in save opportunities. Think that is what I read. He will improve on that. guaranteed.

and yes. Never give up = #GreenCollar

TM had a pretty good rookie year, but hasn't done much since. Hope he can get back to his "younger self".

[WhiteMamba]

another blown save for the best team in the AL.

SIGH

[HammerDown]

My man Gregerson with the blown save. He's a solid setup man, not a closer.

this is an ongoing issue with this team.

Thank goodness they are 10-5 while they are figuring out this bullpen.

Starters have been unbelievably good. Shore up the pen is the next step.
