A's (Ginn) vs Cubs (Imanaga): 6/4/26, 7:05pm

[Papa Cub]

PCA get a pass onto first…..steals a bag. RISP with no out.

how'd they respond you ask? Three horsefeathers Ks……oh, and a walk. What a disaster they are 

[BKHoo]

Wow Bregman’s RISP numbers are downright terrible.

but you can tell he's frustrated. Yes, he's in a deep funk right now, but I'm tired of the rhetoric about him just cashing in his $35m and not caring. 

I agree with you - No argument there - that’s a crazy take if that’s being said. 
They all care, but they’re just in a dark place right now.

It’s a pity that none of Ian Happ’s 1000 hits helped him during that AB. 

Had me interested to see how many of his hits came in clutch situations.

A statistical breakdown of how his milestone 1,001 hits are distributed by game leverage on Baseball-Reference reveals the following:

High Leverage (Game-deciding moments): 239 hits

Medium Leverage (Important middle innings): 295 hits

Low Leverage (Blowouts or early innings): 467 hits

This is a pointless post unless you can tell us the amount of AB he had in those situation. My guess is 40-50% of his AB are low leverage.

Obviously most of the AB are going to be early and low leverage , this was just to break down his 1000 hits in those situations is all.

Counsell finally listened to me.😁

[Geographyhater8888]

This team is inevitable right now. 

[Soul]

Mo even gets the challenge right.

[Tangled Up in Plaid]

Dumb. No reason to give in there

[chibears55]

You knew one was coming,  was just a matter of when and if it were going to be a solo shot or not

[Derwood]

Shota had been getting a lot of ground balls until he didn’t

It’s be cool if we got some of them too - with some runners on too for a change lol

[JHBulls]

Oh good, how do you sell hope to a fanbase after their team has sucked for a long time? Edward Cabrera is starting tomorrow and Matt Boyd will be back soon. Two pitchers who have absolutely sucked this year.

So the wait for good news continues, 

[Tangled Up in Plaid]

Another Cy Young performance from an A's pitcher, what a surprise

[Geographyhater8888]

I’ve had enough of this horsefeathers horsefeathers. I’ve seen this ending before.

really impressive response to them scoring by the 3-4-5 hitters

[Soul]

Futility is an understatement.  

[Tangled Up in Plaid]

There's no "Cubs are in an easy part of the schedule"

The Cubs are the easy part of the schedule for everyone else.

[Soul]

Maybe Rizzo can get a hit. Put him in.

[Soul]

Just like Rea yesterday, Shota has been solid tonight.
