I just watched the highlights. Did they seriously walk Belt (a lefty) with a lefty on the mound (Belt hitting .154 vs LHP) to bring Vladdy up to the plate with the bases loaded? That's insanity.

It wasn't an intentional walk.

oh ok thanks, that makes more sense, it looked like an Intentional walk on the highlights.

Is this the first time this year that at least 2 of Springer/Kiermaier/Varsho aren't starting in the outfield?

 

[canucksfan]

Solid start

 

[canucksfan]

Vladdy looks so much better

 

[canucksfan]

Kikuchi looks solid even though its against the A's.

 

[CabanaBoy5]

It’s remarkable how much Bichette’s defence has improved since the start of the season. Also, Kikuchi as a No.5 has been incredible. Both pleasant surprises.

Bo's defense doesn't get talked about as much as it should. The team doesn't have a weakness defensively when the regulars are in the lineup.

 

[jetsforever]

Not bad from Kikuchi but still needs to work on HRs

 

[MS]

Jesus, Ruiz is horrific in CF.

 

[Leaf Rocket]

trade vladdy ! he can't hit a homer

 

[as Pure as Evil]

didnt even realize thorton was still on the team

 

[canucksfan]

Would have put Clement for Biggio

 

[jetsforever]

Vladdy heating up

 

[jetsforever]

Biggio exclamation point!

 

[Patmac40]

Putting aside the fact the A’s are the worst team in the league, it’s nice to see the offense rolling. Hopefully that carries forward. Almost wish there wasn’t an off-day tomorrow.

 

[MK78]

Great win. This is what they should be doing to crush teams like this.

this should have been a sweep.

 

[habamillions]

Got the series but would have been nice to sweep. Especially considering the yankees are about to take the series vs the rangers

Ya, I do this often too. lol

To be fair, that was the at bat where he struck out. Espinal made it up by hitting the double.

Truth......oh I know. lol

It's one of those 'in the moment' vs 'yesterday's box score'

I think I am trying to say *for me* that I do SO bad on that. lol

 

[canucksfan]

Kikuchi wanted to go out again the the 7th. Right now, he’s very confident in his stuff and he wasn’t like that last year.
