    Calling strikes at the knees would help move the game ahead.

    Fiers should have been pulled after that walk. Can't afford to walk the first two hitters in a tie game.

    4 walks. Hard to win when you give guys free bases.

    Come on Fields. Give us a better outing than last time out. Help Fiers out of this mess.

    So the A's just throw someone out there to take up innings and the Stros struggle against him and just think Sonny Gray tomorrow :(

    This team fares better against aces than scrubs.

    A big part of that is the makeup of the lineup

    All or nothing sluggers will beat the crap out of people a lot of nights and help that +- a lot

    It's not all on that, but that is a big part of it

    I would guess we lead baseball in 4+ run victories
