Tough decision for Seattle in the 9th. Dunn is due up third in the inning.

 

 

edit: They have to bring in Rodney. Dunn is hitless against him in 6 career AB, but has three home runs (including today's) against King Felix in 15 AB.

Man, I had no idea that Smoak's numbers were down this year, after starting so hot against LAA:

.205/.275/.347 with only 7 hr and 30rbi.  Looks like he was demoted to AAA for some time too.

 

Don't worry, the Angels will break him out of his slump.

ALL ABOARD THE FERNANDO RODNEY EXPERIENCE!

 

Strap in.

[Richard]

Not this ride again. 

[The God of Runs]

No! Not Rodney

[CanadianHalo]

Relying on this idiot just brings back bad memories

[tdawg87]

Dunn will take him deep.

 

You know it's coming.

[T.G.]

Dunn is going to strike out.

[T.G.]

c-ya....

[Ender]

A clean Rodney experience.

 

You just never know what kind of ride you're going to get from him.

[Aaronkv]

Whoa. Was that Rodney?

[Richard]

SHOOT THE MOON!

[Angel Oracle]

Thank you M's once again,..now start losing

[CanadianHalo]

That was nice and uneventful

[tdawg87]

Dunn will take him deep.

 

You know it's coming.

 

I agree.

[Chimi]

Thanks Seattle

[CanadianHalo]

Huge opportunity tonight.

[Ender]

Whoa. Was that Rodney?

 

To be fair he has a sub 3 ERA with 41 saves. He is doing something right ... even if its ****ing ugly sometimes.

[Lou]

Dunn with a meaningless HR.

 

CWS win the trade!

[Bruce Nye]

M's will be tough down the stretch.

Just checked the score on my phone and saw Steven Vogt left with ankle injury. How bad?

 

Not sure but saw this from Rotowire:

 

Vogt had already been nursing a sore right foot that had prevented him from catching for most of the season, but the left ankle now represents a more pressing -- and potentially serious -- concern. An MRI is almost certainly in the cards for Vogt, as the Athletics look to determine the severity of the injury. If the sprain is revealed to be a multi-week injury, it could put the sinking Athletics in a tough spot offensively. Vogt cooled off in August, but he's still posted a .340 on-base percentage over 256 plate appearances.

I wonder how much thought went into Beane's decision with Dunn with regards to him being able to hit it over the not-so-deep right field wall in Oaktown.  Especially as a power left handed hitter.  

[Lou]

in their last 23 games, oakland is

7-16

[tdawg87]

They're due.
