Let us go, Oakland.
keep forgetting to click the “don’t show sig line” button
Chavy sounds very laid back. Almost asleep.
Still in peak playing form, eh?
I’m hoping that he’s going to heat up around halfway through.
by that time, glen will have dispense all the good analysis.
Then immediately bite his lip and need to leave.
That is not a good looking beard on Keuchel.
fosse pxp?
fuck you A’s
“So, Eric. Tell us about what you’re doing for the Yankees.”
“I’m doing some stuff.”
Nice bat flip on your soft line out, Valbuena.
ray made the flyball to gentry sound like a great running catch
It was the dictionary definition of routine.
Gentry hit!
semien hit!
Canha walk!
Canha walk!
DMOAS!
Snerk.
Eric Chavez just told us that altuve came in and told Keuchel that he is only one pitch from ending the inning.
That cannot be what was said, yeah? I mean, why would that need to be said?
and damn
I have a feeling that baseball players say dumb, obvious stuff to each other all the time.
I like Chavy too much to hear him like this.
And this vs LHP lineup….gah.
Reddick can’t possibly be worse in there than Cody Ross, right? I’d even take Fuld. And why isn’t Vogt in there somewhere?
I know this isnt fair-but it sounds like Glen needs to wake up Chavy every time he talks.
BOOBIES
Also, this lineup sucks, even worse than last year’s all-righty lineup.
I think this half inning started in the Truman administration
We are very quickly moving into CG3=CY25 territory folks. #girdyourloins
It’s been so long, is this what BillyBall felt like? I’m like “Kaz can go 150 pitches so we dont have to use the pen right?”
no sense in standing there too long mark
Kazmir’s running out of gas. Best get someone up.
Quite a wily, gutsy, gritty veteran performance.
good pitching
Scoring mojo – Kaz deserves this win.
He does indeed.
Cody Ross is no Brandon Inge.
It just goes to show that the Greatest Giant is only the Worst A.
The problem is, so does Keuchel.
he would deserve the win if he were playing for the home team. or the road team if it were the A’s
Why do the Rangers want Hamilton back, attached as he is to that contract? Don’t they already have Fielder?
keuchel for the 9th?
chad qualls? really aj?
9 new guys for the A’s…
Oh boy! EXTRA innings!!
fk
There’s a real chance the Astros finish ahead of the A’s this year.
I see Carter is still brutal at 1B.
I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT HAPPENED BUT I’M VERY EXCITED!!!!
listening to the radio?
Yup
LOL I don’t miss Gregerson.
For the record, on FB I commented at the start of the inning that we had seen Gregerson not hold the lead at the O.co so many times I was not worried…
And Reddick came about an inch away from missing the tag.
Jesus fking christ BoMel, Abad is better than O’Flaherty.
At least he isnt…
uh
uh
JJ I guess
and Fuentes
Hey…once he recovers, he could be a closer. So glad for the 2 yr contract of Eric
Yeah, I did not like that signing. They should’ve kept Twiggy.
!00% yes keep Twiggy.
I was ok with the idea of the signing. But he has done nothing for us and I think hes had a long enough leash. Time to go and bring up the SWP.
way to walk the lefty. giving altuve a chance with runners in scoring position
not shocking thing is not shocking
Still can’t figure out why Otero couldn’t have at least faced Carter.
FK YOU EOF
One thing I have absolutely no patience for is a pitcher who can’t throw strikes. DFA the bum!
Who’s bleeding to death?
My ears.
Cool bullpen, bros.
Oh jeez. LOL
Sort of an annoying HR…
ok new inning.
just need one
Holy shift!
zobrist left handed
They’re really sticking with neshek??
OH MY CONGER!
when you have the approach he does, sometimes you have the tendancy to lift balls
-ray
see that bob? you can take a pitcher out before the game is lost
he got all of that one from sip and he’s ahead 1-2
Last person I want to see at the plate here. Prove me wrong.
Fun, exciting game at least. Too bad the bullpen was just horrible enough. But that’s a familiar feeling I’m pretty numb to now.
That’s a shame.
I hate to overreact, and I know it is still early in the season. Heck, I know we dont have our closer here yet.
But this bullpen needs to be overhauled and fast. I dont even care if it is just rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic.
I saw Jane Lee post one of her “I’m getting annoyed” tweets of people telling her that Ike should come in for Eo’F. If not him, then at this point I might be happy with JJ, GB, or BF. really at this point he seems to be a gasoline can and match gift set.
I had forgotten what it was like to have a consistently bad bullpen, as opposed to one that falls apart in October.
is brett Anderson available?
Zobrist->DL
Max Muncy->A’s (starting at 3rd)
Eury De La Rosa (reliever) DFA
Man, this is turning into a disaster.
I’m actually kind of excited to see what Muncy can do. That’s how far we’ve fallen.
“Medial meniscus tear” sounds surgical. Usually those relatively minor knee repairs only cost 3-4 weeks.
Muncy must be a short-term plug-in due to Lawrie bashing his knee last night. They need a middle infielder to replace Zobrist. I’d think Wendle, although if they want maximum versatility the Magician lurks.
ladendorff
edit: forgot he was injured
If he weren’t injured himself, sure (ankle IIRC). He’s on the Nashville DL.
Nobody will object much if Cody Ross gets the DFA to make room for either Wendle or Parrino.
who?
The answer to a trivia question in a few years.
Seeing Muncy and Ross start games like today’s really reminds me of those games back in the Geren era where guys like Jeremy Hermida and Jeff Larish somehow ended up in the lineup.
Just bad, forgettable memories that are only triggered by new versions of Hermidas and Larishes.
Lineups that started with DaVanon-Hannahan, while entertaining to say, were NOT entertaining to watch.
Lawrie can also play 2B (26 starts last year) so there is some flexibility there.
The other problem is that they need someone who can hit lefties, which has more to do with Gentry/Ross/Phegley/Canha/Lawrie being off to terrible starts than it does with Zobrist’s injury. Wendle and Muncy are both lefties also, so not likely to help there. It would not surprise me to see them looking outside the organization again to replace Ross.
Wow, Zobrist actually wasn’t OK to play and he needs surgery after all? Shocker.
That was one of the strangest games I have ever seen.
Yeah, sorry about that.
Strange ≠ bad.
Loss = not good, however.
