Feeling just a little better about next year's chances, with a possible rotation of Ohtani, Sandoval, Detmers, Suarez, and maybe Canning.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Bachman ?

I see Fletcher swung at a pitch in the other batters box. Dude needs to be rewired in between his ears. 

[T.G.]

Tepera in for the save

[Revad]

Light that baby up!

[Waybackman]

Great job Suarez!

[robblin17]

Nice win. Good to see Suarez showing some semblance of promise.

This lineup, good for at least one run.

I mean, what has happened to this season?! Please, let's not go through this again next year.

...and only one run.

2 hour 20 minute game

Hey, all right!  Nice to hang on for a 1-0 victory. 
I am so getting free fries tomorrow. 

[T.G.]

Beating the A's is always nice

Back in playoff contention?

Fangraphs claims we have a better than zero chance!

Games really fly by when you don't bog them down with all that pesky offense. 3 batters in the bottom of the 9th. 3 batters swung at 1-0 pitches and got themselves out

Is it me or has the bullpen done pretty well since the Iglesias trade?

Other than what Chavez did in the 9th the other night they've been good

Great pitching duel. Suarez was getting ahead, mixing his pitches and had control. Didn't waste many pitches and went deeper than anytime this year. He also looked poised and confident. 

Rengifo is still maintaining his upgraded play. At some point you have to hope it's permanent. 

A real throwback game. Two hours and twenty - thirty or so minutes is just right. Crisp, efficient, no nonsense. Nice to be on the winning side this time.
