Nice debut for Anderson. Nothing flashy with him, just need him to provide this team with innings and ideally a sub 4 ERA.

Solid start for him.  I know it’s Oakland but the SP has been outstanding.

maybe not flashy but his off speed stuff looked pretty good

I like these kind of games 

Can we please play Oakland 30 times this year?

 

No, I guess not.

[T.G.]

F the A's

[Revad]

Wantz, aided by a generous call on the last pitch, gets the side in order.  Who do we see in the 8th?

[HeavenlyHalos]

What a series for O'Hoppe.

Let's just say...if this were a close game we'd be seeing Loup and Friends.

[Jason]

Fletcher has a weak bat

Won’t even play them 18 times anymore with the new schedule….

Two stress free games in a row. This offense has exciting potential. Who cares about the bullpen if we can outscore teams to the point where we don't need them lol.

O'Hoppe is making me not miss Marsh, too.

Is it my imagination or does this place get very quiet when there's nothing to complain about?

People are still posting!  But, yes, in general, there's more to debate/talk about when things are going poorly than when they're going well.  If everything is working/going well, there's nothing to fix or change, thus less to talk about.

[Revad]

Yes.

[jsnpritchett]

Estevez coming in for the 9th.  Even though this game should be in the bag, it'd be good to see him have a positive outing, given his spring training.  How about a nice, easy, 1-2-3 inning here?

[Jason]

Wow

[eligrba4ever]

The last out is elusive.

[Jason]

O’Hoppe misplayed that one bad

I’d settle for keeping the shutout at this point.

[jsnpritchett]

O'Hoppe definitely should have caught that pop up--but Estevez should have also gotten himself out of the inning earlier.  He looked great for the first two batters.
