This is ridiculous. Milone is utter garbage. Desmond gets a leadoff double and our 3-4-5 hitters can't even get him home and manufacture the tying run. Beltre's AB was particularly awful. There is no excuse for not making contact against this soft-throwing spare.
Our guys can't hit the ball when it's thrown right down the middle and their minor leaguers are spraying hits all over the field on pitches out of the zone.
This is some embarrassing bad pitching....hitting too, get that. But good heavens, our pitching right now is making anyone/everyone look like the 60's Yankees.
Spare, spare, spare, spare. Their whole lineup is just trash. Max Kepler. Give me a break. He will return right back to being an irrelevant minor leaguer that no one will ever remember existed.
The A's have saved the Rangers from suffering a total collapse before the all star break. If the Astros swept the A's things would be much worse than they already are.
