    Why is he even in the lineup against a lefty starter?

  2. mother pucker Jul 5,2015 1:59 pm

    It is convenient that at least per gameday, the A’s can call up an emergency starter who also throws 95mph.

    Sam Fuld. Who’d a thunk.

    There is always a score.

      there haven’t been any since like last wednesday or so, and yesterday was a glad stopover on the way to tomorrow. gold cup, y’all!

      speaking of stopovers… 3 groups, 14 stadiums. good thing the smaller countries are made out of money donated travel miles otherwise something like having all 4 teams in a group go: july 8 carson city, july 11 houston, july 14 toronto might not make complete sense.

      and speaking of flyers, the S (for scot) in SE racing and the OM (for old man) in OM flyer has been found dead in indio. not sure how i feel about the 29s you introduced in the recent wave of oldskool-interest, but thanks for the original crazy-ass bikes and the baby blue brand, dude. oh. and the sport itself i guess.

        The main purpose of the Gold Cup is making money for the CONCACROOKS, which means you have to get especially, but not only, the Mexican team to as many stadiums as possible, the budget of the Fédération Haïtienne de Football be damned. I’m really looking forward to the tournament though. The now big three countries are all looking pretty good, and Honduras and Panama should make the USA’s group, at least, very interesting.

        • AV Jul 7,2015 9:34 am || Up

          because of that interjected now, not sure if you’re counting mexico among the big three. i didn’t see it but i heard they really stunk it up in their prep game. though i suppose a broken chicharito might be a blessing in disguise.

            I just meant that Costa Rica has seemingly reached the top tier now. It wouldn’t be a huge shock if they won it.

            • AV Jul 7,2015 10:13 am || Up

              we’ll wave them in front of ed’s face. he’s probably looking for someone to root for.

      I’ll add that I haven’t been that impressed with Trey’s vocal work, but on the guitar side he has been absolutely stellar.

      Days Between was a tremendous end-of-Jerry era composition and I love that they’re playing it. It’s been a fantastic finale.

    I don’t understand why canha isn’t a lefty masher. Isn’t that what he was?

    I have $5. No I don\'t.
    • colin Jul 6,2015 11:04 am || Up

      Wow. I just looked it up and he has a massive reverse split for this season: wRC+ is 156 against RHP (139 PA) and just 6(!!) against LHP (75 PA). I realize that is a really small sample, but it’s still pretty nutty.

      For reference, 156 wRC+ is 302/353/556 and 6 wRC+ is 132/213/147 (8 singles, 1 double in 75 PA).

      • Future Ed Jul 6,2015 5:36 pm || Up

        reddick should start over him v lefites

        I have $5. No I don\'t.

        I have $5. No I don\'t.

    Richie Martin has put up cool 1.414 OPS in his first four games for Vermont. Commence the hype.

    • colin Jul 7,2015 5:25 am || Up

      I guess I should drive up and see him before he gets bumped to Stockton.

      • Glorious Mundy Jul 7,2015 9:59 am || Up

        0-4 last night. I jinxed him.

        Mikey White (playing second base) is also off to a nice start there. .308/.400./.481 in his first 13 games.

      • Future Ed Jul 7,2015 11:50 am || Up

        got some guy called Franklin.only cloggin up Stockton

        I have $5. No I don\'t.
  11. Glorious Mundy Jul 6,2015 3:55 pm

    Looks like we bought another fringy reliever prospect from the Braves using international slot money.

  12. Glorious Mundy Jul 6,2015 4:43 pm

    Vogt! (and Sonny!)

    • Future Ed Jul 6,2015 5:36 pm || Up

      all I care about is vogt. sonny was taken to be replaced.

      I have $5. No I don\'t.
      • Glorious Mundy Jul 6,2015 5:38 pm || Up

        With three catchers on the roster, who wants to bet Vogt never gets to bat?

        • ptbnl Jul 6,2015 5:39 pm || Up

          He’ll pitch the 19th.

          If this is His will, He's a son of a bitch.
      • dmoas Jul 6,2015 10:10 pm || Up

        Both were player choices so it had little to do with “taken”

        • Glorious Mundy Jul 7,2015 7:58 am || Up

          They have a very particular set of skills.

      Seven relief pitchers on the AL roster. Fucking Yost.

    • FreeSeatUpgrade Jul 6,2015 6:53 pm || Up

      So happy for Vogt. What an incredible story he’s writing himself.

    Last day of work for two weeks. I was the IV queen today. I was starting IVs like… it was my job.

        XVs, I think you mean.

        With Argentina isn’t it a starting I and X spectators?

        Too soon?

    Baseball America has Frank Barreto 22nd on its midseason prospect list while saying he’s “probably not” a shortstop.

    • Soaker Jul 7,2015 10:29 am || Up

      Another familiar name, Billy McKinney, is #30.

      It’s nice seeing all those A’s on that list. Oh.
