listened to much of the game and saw the last inning and a half. damn the A's have some good relievers. erceg was hitting 99-100. miller 103. totally blew us away in the 9th. boy is that montas trade looking even worse now.
we're now 5-6 in the last 11 games. the pitiful offense continues. judge 3-28 w 16Ks and only 1 walk. missing his pitch, chasing and showing no patience. volpe 3-29. gleyber 6-40 and 2 doubles all season and leaping at the pitch. rizzo 4-31. throw in wells who isn't even on the interstate and it's a pretty sad state of affairs. what once looked like a long lineup has now shrunken.
can never complain about 7 1-hit innings but didn't sound like rodon was dominating. he was facing a nothing lineup and they couldn't put anything together.
our bullpen could use more of what the A's have.

I'm still concerned about Rodon Swinging strike rate, a big part of K rate, is down, too. It was about 15% in his two great seasons, 2021 and 2022. Down to 12% last season. This season. before today it was just 10.8%. In today's game, against a bad A's lineup, it was a very poor 7%, so the 10.8% is now lower. |

I’m concerned about it, but honestly as long as he gets outs, I don’t care it the outfielders catch every out with their backs against the OF fences… |

If the pitcher is making mistakes and misses location, he's getting to get hard regardless of how many strike outs he gets. |

I'm fine with Carlos Tudor - so long as he can keep getting good results without the Ks. |

Exactly. I don't care about a pitcher's K rate being down if he's getting routine groundball/flyball outs. Some power pitchers learn how to pitch differently later in their careers. |

To each their own, but I for one so far aren't going to complain about Rodon. Especially when he just pitched a game where he had a no hitter for 4.2 innings and only gave up 1 hit over 7 innings overall. In my opinion, his 2.70 ERA should even be lower, because in another game, it looked like Rizzo made an error that got changed to a hit.
