Must be nice to have as dominating a starting rotation as Oakland.

We are lucky to get 2 out of 3 against this pitching. I hope Rangers have less luck.

Ryu is throwing batting practice , if we somehow make the playoffs he can’t pitch.

Ryu has been good this game. Also has a 2.65 ERA on the season.

He hasn't shown an ability to pitch deep in games, but there's an argument Ryu has been the best starter in the rotation over the last month since his return.

Hes pitched better than Gausman lately tbh. I don't give him much grief for the Colorado start he has the worst pitching profile for that park since offspeed stuff literally doesn't spin as much.

Yeah he's been awesome since he's come back. I think having him go 5 in a playoff game is in the cards for sure.

It's weird just how uncomfortable he is doing baseball vs basketball. Shulman does both in the same day and it's seemless.


Schulman is an actual professional who excels at his craft. Devlin is just a Rogers clown with connections.


Devlin was a successful commentator in the US before we hired him.

He's just goofy and he mailed it in after getting a fat contract, but he's good when he tries. He's not a Rogers product.

If they score another run, I don't see how we can possibly come back.

Blown out by the Oakland A's. Can't say it isn't deserved when we're putting out lineups like today.

Our xBA today is .143 an absolute joke of a offensive performance. Totally shut down by the A's starting pitching again. Welp on to KC I guess.

Can't even say they've been unlucky just no good contact at all. Couldn't keep track of all the pop ups.

KC's pitching is way better than this Oakland team. Expecting multiple shutouts this weekend.
