Sanchez is catching for Tanaka.  ERA 4.64 surprising

Even though Sanchez has made strides defensively, he's never been a good receiver of the ball.

Tanaka best on 5 Tuck. 

The A's using only 3 lefties(one of which a switch hitter) vs Tanaka is surprising, he's much better vs righties.

Tanaka horrible at night and on the road but good history vs 7 of the 9 batters.

I haven't even looked at Roark.

Good Luck tonight Bator

Thanks for that comfortable sweep last night Mr. Bator , Now on to the second leg of the Yankee's Westcoast trip. Dodger city currently at -145 for me. 

Thank you for all you do.

The fiesty A's are off today. However, Mr. B gave us this great tidbit earlier in the thread:

 

The A's are 5-0 at home since July 2nd following an off day, winning 4 of the 5 games by more than one run.

Well, that series went better than even I'd expected, and I expected a sweep. I expected the Yankees starters Domingo German, J.A. Happ, and Masahiro Tanaka to be as bad as they've been on the road all season, and they were worse, much worse actually (8.81 ERA).  I expected the A's starters Homer Bailey, Mike Fiers, and Tanner Roark to be as reliable as they've been recently at RingCentral Coliseum, and they were even better (2.60 ERA).

German had the Yankees in a 4-1 hole after just 2 innings.

Happ had the Yankees in a 4-1 hole after 3 innings.

Tanaka had the Yankees in a 5-0 hole after 3 innings, but in reality he sunk the ship in the very first inning, putting the first three batters on base (two via walks) en route to the A's scoring three times.  These early deficits combined with the stout starting pitching on the other side prevented the Yankees from using the better arms in their bullpen.  Of the Yanks' fearsome foursome of Adam Ottavino, Tommy Kahnle, Zach Britton, and Aroldis Chapman, only Ottavino made an appearance in the series, pitching one inning on Wednesday. Who would've guessed that would happen, that Kahnle, Britton, and Chapman would never get off their butts in any of these games? I said I expected a sweep, but I didn't expect an almost total lack of late inning drama.  On Wednesday night, the Yankees put the tying runs on 2nd and 3rd with 2 outs in the top of the 8th, but Gleyber Torres grounded out.  Other than that, the relatively calm A's backers among us never really broke a sweat in these three games.

On the offensive side for the Yankees, not too bad except for D.J. LeMahieu finishing 1-14 and Cameron Maybin going 1-8.  LeMahieu gets a complete pass as far as I'm concerned.  He was leading the team with a phat .339 average going into Oakland and has nothing to hang his head over.


Few seemed to realize it, but the A's were playing better than the Yankees going into this series. The A's had just won 4 of 5 and 13 of their last 19, including 3 wins against the Astros over the weekend.  The Yankees had just split a home series with the Indians, but the Yankees got outscored in that series split by SIXTEEN runs! Few seemed to appreciate just how well the A's have played in Oakland this season, and in fact how the A's have played increasingly better at home as the season has gone along (they're now 17-4 at home since the All-Star break!).  Going into last night's game, the A's were 20 games over .500 this season in Oakland, yet all day I kept reading similar variations of "the Yanks can't get swept."  It was as if my Covers brothers were aboard the Titanic, and they were insisting the ship couldn't sink even as the water was up to their hips and everyone around them was scurrying for life jackets.
