Haha. So our season is over because we have now lost a game when leading going into the 9th?

Dude, he was joking.

[HeavenlyHalos]

Nice DP but trailing already to this POS offense is annoying. Let's go bats

[TrumBomb]

Simply score a lot of runs

Back to back starts where Lorenzen looks off. Hope he gets it together soon

He was bound to come back to earth a bit

Yeah.  His BAbip is about 50 points below his career average and his K rate is below average, too.  At some point when you're allowing that many balls in play, things are gonna go the other way.

Indeed, all the advanced stats screamed that he was overachieving

What other conclusion can a panicked fan base reach?

On the bright side, the minor league guys have looked solid so they could take his place in the rotation if necessary 

[failos]

Season over

[bloodbrother]

That was one of those professional AB's from Rendon, as the experts would say

1st.

[HeavenlyHalos]

Great AB by Rendon. Runs this inning please

[HeavenlyHalos]

WAL$H

[jsnpritchett]

I think they broke Rengifo.

[TrumBomb]

Okay fuck the A’s let’s blow them out tonight that’d be lovely

[Revad]

Ouch, Rengifo down

[bloodbrother]

Well crap. Hope Rengifo is OK

[failos]

Rengriefo is hurt. Dammit, and he was playing well too

[HeavenlyHalos]

That looked painful. Shit
