        Nothing. The camera flashed to second base, where there was no action, and I thought “Seriously?!? A singl… ohhhhh”

        They were talking about how it’s a cold night and Melky thought he had roided hit that one pretty well only to have it die on the track.

        Personally, I thought Melky was surprised he was wasn’t getting cheered on his return to the Bay Area.

          Well, starting tonight the Rangers begin a 31-game stretch with

          6 vs. the Angels
          7 vs. the Astros
          6 vs. the Mariners
          3 vs. the White Sox
          3 vs. the Twins
          2 vs. the Brewers
          4 vs. teams that don’t suck (1-Diamondbacks, 3-A’s)

          So I’d suggest the A’s 6-game lead is a bit illusory.

    What I discovered Blew. My. Mind. -- Pat Boone
      • Soaker Jul 29,2013 9:07 pm || Up

        Blevins has faced 18 batters in the month of July, so that’s basically been a dead spot on the roster. If he could get his act back together, that amounts to a deadline trade for a quality reliever.

        • lenscrafters Jul 29,2013 9:09 pm || Up

          And it would keep the A’s from stupidly putting Anderson in the pen.

        • dmoas Jul 29,2013 9:09 pm || Up

          I believe he can work it out and be good again. But he’ll need to pitch to do that.

          • Soaker Jul 29,2013 9:13 pm || Up

            If he’s on the roster, at some point you have to trust him. I thought yesterday provided some opportunities and tonight is another one.

            • bear88 Jul 29,2013 9:24 pm || Up

                  There has been a bad bus crash in Italy last week, where a bus fell of a viaduct.

        Correction; not quite identical run differentials.

        Yahoo bizarrely updates its standings in three stages – first the W/L record, later the runs scored, and eventually the runs conceded, and it updates the run differential at each of the last two steps!

        Currently it shows the A’s run differential as having jumped by 9 since yesterday (+76), and the Rays by 2 (+74). When the dust settles the A’s will have +72 and the Rays +73.

          I think Rays are better than their season-long baseline if we consider Myers being better than Fuld.

    Why the FK are fans so obsessed with relief pitching? Christ, that’s the biggest strength on this team.

      Also: The Phillies gave Michael Young a full no-trade clause!

      • andeux Jul 30,2013 10:35 am || Up

        It’s still his Rangers contract (and they’re still paying for most of it).

        TINSTAAFK
        • Glorious Mundy Jul 30,2013 10:45 am || Up

          Hmm, but…

          Young received a full no-trade clause as part of the agreement that persuaded him to waive his no-trade rights to the Phillies last offseason. The Rangers are paying $10 million of his $16 million salary, and he is eligible for free agency when the season is over.

          • Bed Jul 30,2013 11:14 am || Up

            If he’s a FA it almost sounds like the Phils should just wait him out unless Texas really wants him back.

    Hrm.

    Peavy has a minimum of $14.5 million left on his deal after this season, and he has a vesting option for 2015 at $15 million, but additional payroll is not a problem for the A’s, owner Lew Wolff told me yesterday.

    • DFA Jul 30,2013 6:03 pm || Up

      Of course you say that when you aren’t going to make the trade because they are asking for a top 10 and top 100 spec from you.

      • brian.only Jul 30,2013 6:09 pm || Up

        Sure maybe, but Lew doesn’t say that very often.
        My gut feeling tells me nothing is going to happen.

      • dmoas Jul 30,2013 6:09 pm || Up

        I’m sure he’d say that regardless because he’s always said that.

        • brian.only Jul 30,2013 6:12 pm || Up

          Really, I only remember him saying this a few times (pre Holliday season mostly) but I guess I’m mistaken.

          • dmoas Jul 30,2013 6:36 pm || Up

            Pretty much any time he’s been asked, he’s said he’s willing. I don’t recall him ever saying he wouldn’t.

            You can’t honestly believe that Lew has jack shit to do with trade negotiations aside from saying yay or nay to payroll increases, can you?

              We can get him for A prospects for an X increase in payroll or C prospects for a S increase in payroll. He has the option of taking the second scenario

            You don’t see the difference between “technically we could scrape together the money and financing to purchase a luxury item” and the additional payroll is “not a problem”?

    • lenscrafters Jul 31,2013 10:47 am || Up

      “additional payroll is not a problem”

      This doesn’t tell us anything. Of course Lew is going to say that he can/will increase payroll when he doesn’t have to specify for whom and most importantly, for how much. Technically, we “increased” payroll to take on Callaspo’s remaining 1 million or so this season, but I’m guessing that’s not the significant increase Slusser had in mind when she asked that question.

        Can this be even more over-analyzed than it’s worth? Inquiring minds want to know.
