Trivino brought the filth that inning, the A's need to get something going against Severino somehow. They're probably just hoping he's wild to try to draw a couple of walks and hope for a ball that finds a hole.
I too am a big fan. Not as much as my boy Matt Chapman though. This team is full of studs, I genuinely believe they could do very well in a longer playoff series and taking advantage of the Coliseum.
