whsssssss.
tap tap
is this thing on?
what a play by butler.
I don’t believe you.
it wasn’t. he caught a pop up at the photographers well
now butler couldn’t make it 20 feet to catch a pop up
I believe you.
Ladendorff with a nice sliding play
what happened to seans beautiful hair?
He needed a change, he said.
It worked!
He looks like such a nice young man now.
Oh yeah the A’s are playing.
Nice heater for the K, Sean!
OK Butler you get one ABs worth of my attention from the W’s, make it count.
Hey, RBI single! { Hits Last channel button}
So it was YOUR fault!
I was hoping for kHRis, but I guess I’ll have to settle for khriSF.
Update: Billy Butler, don’t try to make me like you.
i am so conflicted
oy
nice play by burns
Why is Ladendorf in the majors?
He’s trying to be Grant Green.
never. green was a wasted opportunity. ladendorf just cost the corpse of orlando cabrera
a semien would be nice here
Money shot granted
woohoo!
So with Hahn probably coming back this week but Alvarez maybe not, did Manaea save his rotation spot?
yes
Should be Graveman going down.
The hair on this Jackson kid looks like a bad wig some underprivileged cancer patient would get.
When my mom started chemo she was given one. Wore it once and said “nope, I’m going clean.” It was a good look for her.
um. coco?
w00t
I am pleasantly surprised that this lineup beat the Rangers.
Butler undeniably made several significant contributions to this victory.
Nevertheless, DFA his fat ass.
I’m in a daze over that Warriors loss. I still can’t make sense of it.
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)
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.
Also, the offensive rebounding disadvantage really hurts.
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.
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?
Draymond hoisted one from 28 feet in the first half. It was ridiculous.
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.
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.
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.
Yeah, I’m not holding out a ton of hope that Muncy will light it 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.
The word of the day on the little tv screen in my office elevator today is “salmagundi.”
Canha: Hip surgery next week, out for year.
that is one way to collect a major league salary all year
Looks like Hillary won Bourbon County, but Bernie won the counties where the hipster bourbons are made.
Did they vote in Indiana today also?
Odor – 8-game mid-season vacation.
Smell you later, Odor.
To be appealed until such time as it does not help the A’s.
Elvis serving his 1 game tonight though.
Hopefully that will also make Beltre too sad to play well.
Sharks look strong tonight so far, sure would feel better with a second goal though.
And there it is!
I felt even better about the third and the fourth.
I was very pessimistic after G1. This was an entirely different team. I can’t believe they killed that 4 minute double-minor, and not only killed it but allowed like 1 real chance the whole time.
Crazy.
does Hahn suck?
Thanks, and go As.
naw. its not bad today
I must have just turned on a bad 10 pitch sequence.
Thanks, and go As.
The downside of an eastbound transatlantic upgrade is missing the first night of being so exhausted I sleep right through the jet-lag.
Is Burns supposed to be good at defense?
no. he is rajai davis with a little less base stealing acumen
Actually, Ray, players go into slides and catch the ball ALL THE FUCKING TIME
Thanks, and go As.
A’s players usually drop it.

vintage helmet slam grom reddick
kHRushed (x2)
KHrush, Semien, Valencia… I mean we might suck but we’re kinda fun sometimes.
Thanks, and go As.
I greatly prefer this year’s version of suck over last year.
…
I take that back
THIS IS FUN.
I don’t even care if they win. It’s fun.
Thanks, and go As.
Not Burns’ greatest night.
THey really IBBd the bases loaded to get to Valencia?
Thanks, and go As.
They’re going to get him anyway, and it set up the DP.
And of course it worked.
stop being right.
Thanks, and go As.
Done.
much appreciated.
Thanks, and go As.
My friend who is trying to find baseball in his 40’s was texting me asking why they would do that. Sometimes you just have to answer with “because sometimes old skool strategies are just stupid”.
OK, that was kinda fun.
HOLY FUCKING SHIT.
Thanks, and go As.
Beltre is NOT a happy camper.
Khrazy
Whoa!
Whaaaaaaaa?
its cool. as long as someone hits three dingerz a day, we’re cool
Read the FKing thread Nm
That turned out to be a lot more fun than expected. Those Davis home runs sure exit the park fast. I get that he’s a feast or famine hitter, but let’s just enjoy the feasts.
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.
I so lucked out with the front row seats last night! What an entertaining game. When Madson blew the save I didn’t really care because I felt like I’d been treated to a lot of fun action. But boy I didn’t expect how truly exciting the end would be!
You earned it after your last experience!
Yeah they made it up to me in fine fashion!
Day game today. Sure wish I was there.

it looks glorious out there
LOL, going to the knee worked less well that time.
Is it just me, or is Dillon Overton starting to look like a pretty darn good prospect? 42 Ks and 8 walks in 45 AAA innings is not bad at all.
He’s certainly shifting his window.
Wow, have a week Danny V!
This is some solid baseball right here.
Even Butler spurns the DP opportunity!
He’s the real hero.
once, but not twice
Made up for it in the third.
that was so bad
Clutch non-DP there by Butler to keep the inning alive.
Striking out for the team.
Is this thing on TV, (specifically DirectTV?)
@batgirl: Maybe MLB Network
well, it can been seen…
They have, but it is blacked out :( I’ll follow online.
What in god’s name would require them to black this one out anywhere but the Dallas Metroplex?
I wasn’t home this afternoon, but for these weekday afternoon games not on CSN, check both 213 and 213-1. The A’s should be on one of them; the other will be blacked out.
Thanks! I was looking at 213, and didn’t know there was a 213-1.
Liverpool took a leaf out of the Warriors “2nd half collapse” playbook.
Hill or Valencia for All Star?
Reddick (leads team in WAR).
Or Madson (leads league in saves, ERA < 2).
By fWAR, Semien is our leader. That’s because UZR really hates Reddick this year for some reason.
And all bets are off if K. Davis is leading the league in homers.
valencia is behind donaldson, machado and beltre
but which of those guys are on his SSS HR pace?!?
no vince, its not that marcus can now make routine plays so he is getting better at extraordinary plays, its that he can now catch and throw. (seemingly)
it’s not that hard. tell him, wash
Thanks, and go As.
props to butler on that pick up
Ray, Butler did not “take a double away from Odor.” He declined to gift him a double. He didn’t even have to move.
I’m beginning to see the appeal of Khris Davis.
right?
Ok, one guy has one homer. Now go hit two more, Khrush.
Oh man, if you are a utility infielder who is going 0-for-12 in your cup of coffee, it’s not a great look to fail twice to get a sac bunt down and then GIDP.
The Rangers are offering dot racing bobbleheads. Hard to imagine a less compelling series of promotions.
Red. No , Blue!!
{batgirl catapults into Gorge of Eternal Peril}
I mean look at this thing:
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
but if they are going to bring in the lefty anyway…
this is the most depressing 5 non outs in a row
Nice of Vogt not to GIDP
ok tyler. now is your time
YAY! a walk!
An RBI!
been on hold with Roslyn from blue shield.
she did me a solid
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.
Gio Gonzalez has some beautifully puffy long hair right now.
Khris Davis, inventor.
4-pointer!
Much better than the shredder.
