Hi @Lou, Walker has an ERA of 4.05 after hurling 6 shutout innings against the Rangers tonight. His ERA based on 3 or more starts (Sandoval excluded) would put him second best to Dylan Bundy among starting pitchers on our team. My point of going after him was that he was cheap, young & high upside. Just to keep you updated my friend. Cc: @Taylor

Another game, another home run by Rendon and Trout!

I think the Angels are going to be off to the races after this series. Let's take 2/3 from the Dodgers next. One game, one series at a time!

Well we did take 2 out of 3 from the 1st place A's & we got robbed of a home run that would have tied the game at 5-5. The bullpen's results & management thereof may have played out differently in a tied game. That said, hold your heads up fans! This is the start of a good run!

Some good news on the bullpen front.

Damn, check out this Juan Soto bomb!

The A's have always been good at putting together a good bullpen, unlike Eppler with his pitching staffs. I hope with the Bundy trade it's a sign of good things to come in terms of dealing for a guy who could benefit in another uniform that's more focused on drawing out a pitchers strengths.

I partially blame Joe Maddon on taking Felix Pena out there.

Thanks, bullpen!

That last pitch by Middleton was 100 mph. Thing is, dude can't command his pitches half of the time so I don't think he'll be the closer anytime soon like @Jeff Fletcher suggested a few days ago.

Fair enough!

I agree. Alex Curry while cute, just comes across as a HS cheerleader type with a mic in her hand. Bathe's approach is more professional. I miss Jaime Maggio!

He came into today's game with a solid 3.14 ERA. Just didn't have it today, but I like him long term.

Oh okay, I missed that part. How many games did MLB suspend him for?

We had the #2 starting pitching in the AL coming into this game today. But you're right, our bullpen needs some serious help.
