What was that? When I saw the announcement, I thought, "OHHHH... I get it. He is going to pitch the first two innings and Melvin will cycle through the bullpen and the A's will try to steal game one."

The one thing Luzardo has not learned how to do is pitch. He is still a thrower with focus issues. The league already has his tendencies down and murder him the second time through the lineup. I was in shock when he went out to take the mound in the third. Lefty vs righty Tim Anderson who already had a hit off him. Why? Why?!!! And sure enough he piped a fastball down the middle to Abreu.
