Noticed the same thing. The M's just about had to hand the ball to Tex to finish up by the 8th or so.
A manager always keeps one pitcher in his hip pocket for 4-5 innings and that was Tex, but man, that occurred early.
In that particular game, I didn't get the 1 IP out of Kelley. Maybe Wok was visualizing a lockdown 2-1 win with a run scoring in the next coupla innings. If so, it was a dubious assumption. Oakland's bullpen is a lot better than our offense is.
