    I’m in a daze over that Warriors loss. I still can’t make sense of it.

    • nevermoor May 17,2016 10:14 am || Up

      When you miss all your shots in the second half, you lose. Steph needs to be Steph sometimes, but no one else is Steph (the number of wild three attempts from Klay/Draymond was crazy)

      "There's never enough time to do all the nothing you want"
      • dmoas May 17,2016 10:41 am || Up

        A few fouls going the right would have helped some. But it is really obnoxious to see so many wild ass shots being made where everyone is assuming it’s going in and not bothering to make an offense rebounding effort.

        • nevermoor May 17,2016 10:51 am || Up

          Also, the offensive rebounding disadvantage really hurts.

          "There's never enough time to do all the nothing you want"
          • Glorious Mundy May 17,2016 10:55 am || Up

            The thing about going for offensive rebounds against the Warriors is that they punish you bad if you don’t get it, especially with the small lineup. That’s how the Finals played out last year, in a lot of ways. But they are going to need everyone to do a better job on the defensive boards, especially guys like Barnes.

            • nevermoor May 17,2016 12:49 pm || Up

              But they are going to need everyone to do a better job on [INSERT ANYTHING HERE], especially guys like Barnes.

              Can we jettison him for Durant now?

              "There's never enough time to do all the nothing you want"
      • Glorious Mundy May 17,2016 10:43 am || Up

        Draymond hoisted one from 28 feet in the first half. It was ridiculous.

      • FreeSeatUpgrade May 17,2016 12:41 pm || Up

        Yeah, this is my take too. Their offensive approach was terrible, just run down and take first shot, often off-balance early in the shot clock. When the W’s run their screens and cuts and move the ball around they have too much offensive talent to be stopped. Last night they inexplicably decided to piss that all away.

    • colin May 17,2016 2:58 pm || Up

      Phegley is going to the DL so that Hahn can come up, but what is the other move?

      I was hoping for Butler DFA, but it’s just a Surkamp option.

      • FreeSeatUpgrade May 17,2016 3:03 pm || Up

        It’s hard to shake the feeling that the A’s would in fact cut Butler, but they simply don’t have anyone in AAA who’s likely to be any better. Which is much more sad than the Butler suck alone.

        "Kraut will get you through times of no money better than money will get you through times of no kraut."
        • colin May 17,2016 3:09 pm || Up

          Yeah, I’m not holding out a ton of hope that Muncy will light it up.

          • nevermoor May 18,2016 10:56 am || Up

            As long as Valencia+Khrush = 2+ HR/game, I think we’ll survive.

            Barring that, we’re screwed.

          There are two guys with more than five at bats in Nashville this year who have put up an OPS over .700: Muncy (.858) and Renato Nunez (.863). It’s a sad group.

  42. 5Aces May 18,2016 8:59 am

    I was all set to take the blame. I had trouble finding a good link for the whole game before getting the best A’s feed I had found. Looked better on my laptop than it does from cable on my TV. But it just dropped and gave up (I found like 8 different Rangers feeds but I hate listening to them more than Glen and Ray).Then we lost the lead so I assumed it was my fault.

    So when my friend started texting my the bottom 9 I was thrilled. Then I got to spend time telling him that 1) Reddick had to be the one that would deliver the pie and 2) why he is Piederman. That was a fun way to waste some time last night when I should have been doing the awful unpacking I’m stuck in.

    The Rangers are offering dot racing bobbleheads. Hard to imagine a less compelling series of promotions.

        That is incredibly stupid. And at first I thought it said “Blue Boy” so I thought the white one would be racially weird to boot.

    Reddick is really good at jumping over baseballs.

    Kind of bad managing not to have a lefty ready to face Alonso there? They weren’t going to pinch hit for him.

      They probably thought “eh, it’s just Yonder Alonso”

      meh, 4-1 bases loaded no outs? either way

      I have $5. No I don\'t.
    • Future Ed May 18,2016 2:57 pm || Up

      but if they are going to bring in the lefty anyway…

      I have $5. No I don\'t.
  65. Future Ed May 18,2016 2:53 pm

    this is the most depressing 5 non outs in a row

    I have $5. No I don\'t.
  66. Future Ed May 18,2016 2:57 pm

    ok tyler. now is your time

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

    Wow. I just realized that Prince Fielder (39 wRC+) has been far worse in 2016 than Billy Butler (56 wRC+). Furthermore, the A’s have managed to limit Billy to 62 PA while Fielder has 162.
