Gimenez comes up clutch and drives in all 3 runs. Big time game for him and Okamoto who put some great at bats together and looked stellar at third. It’s gonna be really important to get off to a good start too given the strength of the division and the softness of the schedule.

That’s how game 7 should’ve ended.

Okamoto looks pretty damn good

I can’t believe the context was the exact same and we saw the exact same thing happen. I don’t want to overreact to one game but given his struggles with the long ball last year and the way it ended, it might be an issue that could snowball.

4 strikeouts in the inning and the home run given up for the blown save. Can’t imagine that’s happened too many times period.

Hahahahahahahahaha time is a flat circle

What a challenge by Kirk.

This season begins as the last one ended. With Jeff Hoffman trying to preserve a one run lead in the ninth. Let’s hope it goes differently.

Tyler Rogers baby

First big league hit for Okamoto!

Varland gets out of the jam. Nice.

Excellent first outing of the season for Gausman. As good as you could’ve hoped for aside from one mistake.

Hahahaha that’s little league defense by the Athletics

Ern dog baby

10 strikeouts holy crap. Give this guy some run support.

Not a great couple of at bats from Barger and Kirk after the first couple of guys reached.

Great play by Okamoto and stretch by Vladdy at first.

Ah damn. Left the splitter up.

The split is splitting and the fastball is firing.

Gausman strikes out the side to start the season. That can only be a good omen.
