Houston Games 67-69 59

Astros are in town, they have a good base ball team. If the A’s win a game, they stay at 500, that would be cool. Also, I would like to see a sweep in Seattle.

McCullers v Mengden
Cole v Blackburn
Verlander v Montas

    5 innings of Vida Blue.

    That is all.

        Vida went so far beyond the minimum meet-n-greet expectation. He must’ve hung out for almost two hours, and seemed to genuinely be enjoying himself. What a treat.

    There is a pharmaceutical ad running on the radio broadcast that begins with a woman earnestly saying “I threw up this morning.”

    The A’s have got to send Sheldon Neuse back to Midland. The guy is hitting .193/.250/.245 with an atrocious 17/89 BB/K ratio and no homers. He might be injured or something but at this point, keeping him in AAA with completely no success can only hurt him mentally.

    • Glorious Mundy Jun 14,2018 10:39 am || Up

      It was an ambitious assignment after only 75 PAs at AA. Time to admit it failed.

      The other problem is that Jorge Mateo has been almost as bad, with a .209/.249/.306 line and 11/69 BB/K. He’s certainly doing nothing to block Richie Martin or this Eli White fellow from taking his job up there.

    I just learned that Max Muncy has been starting for the Dodgers since mid-April (playing a mix of 1B and 3B) and he is slashing 277/399(!)/631(!!) with 13 dingers. WTF?

  18. Glorious Mundy Jun 14,2018 1:06 pm

    According to Fosse, the best thing to do against a pitcher like Verlander is “hit a home run.”

    The USGA appears to have successfully avoided repeating last year’s -16 debacle. At least Phil and Rory would agree.

      You’d get no argument from Scott Gregory’s +22 either.

    Vince had hoped that the “equity” Montas “built up” over his first three starts “would have carried over today.”

    I don’t even know what he thinks he means.

    • FreeSeatUpgrade Jun 14,2018 2:23 pm || Up

      It means Frankie better refinance quickly before the underwriters get a look at his updated pitching credit score.

    And Chapman’s hurt. Good night.

    • FreeSeatUpgrade Jun 14,2018 4:18 pm || Up

      What happened to Chapman? Other than the uncharacteristically bad defensive game.

    OK that’s good.

    Thanks, and go As.

      I’m so conflicted about this.

      Obviously it’s true. And well put. And it’s good she’s joining the other first ladies on the child immigrant mess. But the only way we lose this fall is by getting tied to her.

        They’ll try it either way. She’s mostly stayed out of the lime light in terms of active politicking.

    1 game under and after this weekend a 10 game road trip looms. I think we may have seen our final days on the good side of the street.

      No way man. This A’s squad has proven itself to be road warriors. And SD CWS and Detroit suck.

    This might be slightly under slot, as it turns out.

    Which allows them to go over slot here.

    • Future Ed Jun 15,2018 11:16 am || Up

      good risk for murray. no leverage if he plays senior year, risk of injury playing football. Makes sense

      I have $5. No I don\'t.
      • Glorious Mundy Jun 15,2018 11:24 am || Up

        I’m coming around to it being an OK risk for the team too. He’s much more likely to bust than the conventional guys available at that spot, but they think he was the only potentially elite talent, and the only way to get that talent signed was by reaching and using the big bonus. If they got a little slot discount on the back end to sign someone else, even better.

      3792 fans say… put a bird on it!

      seems though there are three types of logos and this survey didn’t go parallel. like, why does san diego get the SD and not the pictorial padre, when dodgers get the pictorial ball and not the (pretty tidy, ya have to admit) LA?

      third type is the main logo surrounded by a ring containing text. save that for the corporate letterhead.

    Murray looks kind of perplexed by the Glen and Dallas experience.
