      Because the A’s are the red-headed stepchild of the CSN properties.

    Coco, Phegley, and Alonso the changes from last night.

    Looks like it will be on the MLB Network alt-channel (213-1 on DirecTV) but the Cards-Pirates game is in extra innings. It’s not even on MLB Game Mix in the tiny screen at the moment as they have eight other games in progress.

    WGN broadcasters have already lost interest and are discussing who would win a series between the 1996 Bulls and the 2016 Warriors.

    Good god, Hawk is so bad. I can’t believe White Sox fans listen to this garbage for six months.

    I enjoyed the Coliseum’s new radar gun measuring to the tenth of an MPH. Such illusions of precision are comforting.

    Hawk says that someone asked him before spring training what the A’s were going to do with Sonny Gray, and he says he told that person he would bet “a dozen golf balls” that he wouldn’t be on the Opening Day roster.

    Hawk talks a lot of shit about the A’s considering how mediocre the White Sox organization is.

  11. 5Aces Apr 5,2016 7:34 pm

    11 innings into the season to get to hear these WS ass hats planning the Sonny trade.

    Is there any way to get the A’s radio on top of the WGN feed with MLB.TV?

    • Glorious Mundy Apr 5,2016 7:39 pm || Up

      I was just looking at this and apparently not. Only overlay option is White Sox radio.

                  Yup, but by then it was too late. I was trying to figure out what a Nico was, if this other guy supported Fresno State or Florida State, and why there was a David Ortiz fan who misspelled Papi…

            I looked at my collection and nothing is labeled. I think I gave it to Poppy.

            Yeah, in ’05 my buddy Phil put together some kind of kluged rig to digitally record from the radio, for fun. Looking at the library now I see he only grabbed the last 13:14 of the sulk off (the last inning, presumably). I also have the full games from 7/14/05 (Harden near-perfect), 7/22/05 (Kendall blocks plate), and 10/2/05, what turned out to be Bill King’s last broadcast.

    Glove flip to the pitcher with the catcher running up the line. Nice idea, Yonder.

    Semien with another stellar throw.

  34. lenscrafters Apr 5,2016 8:33 pm

    Alonso might be an average player this season just on virtue of saving Semien’s throws.

    • ptbnl Apr 6,2016 12:49 am || Up

      I’m waiting for his arm to win a game, just for the headline “Yonder stands Alonso with his gun”.

        BART has installed some chain-link fencing in the space between the stairs to the bridge and the station lobby, for some reason, which made it even more of a clusterFK getting out of there last night. At least our loyal 10,000 weren’t as dejected as the Warriors fans because we hadn’t paid $150+ for our seats.

        • sslinger Apr 6,2016 3:20 pm || Up

          Loyal 10 – Ha! I’d have guessed between 5-6K, too bad because it was a beautiful night. We bailed early so missed the tease of a comeback, and were happy not to get caught up in the messiness of a later departure.
