Series Thread: Battling Rangers go to Oakland Coliseum to fight the A's

Rays had 17 hits in back to back games vs Toronto I believe

You are correct. A total of 34 hits and 25 runs.

So EA is serving his 1 game tonight, I guess? Isn't appealing or anything and getting a day of rest right?

Perfect, couldn't happen to a bigger bunch of dicks

Pretty sure the Lastros have put Carlos Gomez on the 15 day DL with a fake injury

We should take a cue.

Busby please STFU with that "MM loves hitting in this ballpark shit"

 

[Bmurph]

Nice inning, thanks Ryan and Mitch

Yeah that was kinda what I was thinking without actually typing it, they are hitting for about the same avg. Prince did at least get on base tonight though

 

[romeo212000]

Geese Hamels. Wtf?

 

[Bmurph]

A's are taking pitches to get ahead and we are up there hacking against a guy known to have control issues. Cole struggling to throw strikes and then just about grooves 2

 

[DT LUNA]

[Duane1952]

If anyone was due a day off it was him

 

[darrylgann]

Seems we have to get behind to get our offense to get going. Hope it does tonight.

 

[DT LUNA]

Nice AB Bobby

Yeah I was just wondering if he had appealed, but I found this

Earlier on Tuesday we learned Odor will be suspended eight games for his role in brawl. Several others have been suspended as well, including Bautista. That is no surprise. MLB announced the suspensions Tuesday evening. Here's the recap:

- Rangers second baseman Rougned Odor has received an eight-game suspension for fighting, including punching Toronto's Jose Bautista, during the top of the eighth inning;

- Blue Jays pitcher Jesse Chavez has received a three-game suspension for intentionally throwing at Prince Fielder of the Rangers in the bottom of the eighth inning, with warnings in place for both sides;

- Rangers shortstop Elvis Andrus has received a one-game suspension for his aggressive actions during the incident;

- Blue Jays outfielder Jose Bautista has received a one-game suspension for his actions during the incident and for his postgame comments.

Furthermore, Blue Jays manager John Gibbons was suspended three games for coming back out onto the field after being ejected earlier in the game. Toronto first base coach Tim Leiper was suspended one game for his actions. Odor and Bautista have appealed their suspensions. Chavez and Andrus have not.

A laundry list of players and coaches were fined but not suspended. Rangers players Matt Bush, Sam Dyson, A.J. Griffin, and Robinson Chirinos were fined, as was bench coach Steve Buechele. Blue Jays players Josh Donaldson and Kevin Pillar were fined, ditto bench coach DeMarlo Hale.

Bautista getting only one game while Odor received eight is going to raise some eyebrows, but it's all about the punch. Bautista is effectively being suspended for the hard slide. Odor is being suspended for the shove and landing the punch. Eight games is pretty standard for such infractions.

Hanser has about as much chance up there swinging a sock as he does a bat

Our offense is always so shitty in this hell hole.
