Tonight's game is the mlb.tv free game of the day in case anyone wants to watch online

whats with the **** crowds?

7 LHBs against Sanchez does not bode well for him or the chances of winning this game.

Im so used to our righty dominant lineup that it's odd to see a team with 7 lefties at all.

Zeke knows outfield assists.

Yeah, this is the Sanchez I was worried about as a starter. Lefties teeing off on his FB and he has no other dependable pitches to make up for it.

The Colabello Curse begins?

Sonny Gray 'bout to strike out 20 tonight.

The A's were the worst team we could have faced right now. This could be an ugly tailspin we get into. I'm not sure how many times we can rely on 11-game win streaks to get our heads back above water.

I was really hoping this year would play out differently.

Sanchez is not commanding the FB at all and has nothing else to save him. Looking exactly like he did as a SP last year.

Barney!

Tulo who?

You can tell by the faces in that dugout that it's not a happy group right now. They can't be happy with the Colabello situation.

That plus a game against the A's doesn't bring out the excitement in the crowd especially going down big early.

Yep, Sanchez not missing many bats tonight. Gotta consider getting him out before it's totally out of reach.

I guess the rebuild starts this year
