    The ground-rule double in the bottom of the 8th was such bullshit … the ball was barely more than rolled up against the base of the padding.

      He didn’t get a couple calls vs Trout and Pujols and it rattled him.

    Since he didn’t go on to score I applaud the deliberate hitting of Trout to lead off.

    Are they still trying to pretend Canha is a CF?

    • FreeSeatUpgrade Jun 17,2018 2:19 pm || Up

      I guess the A’s figure Canha >>> Fowler hitting vs lefties is worth more. To the eye at least that seems wrong.

    He avoided getting thrown out twice but it’s still idiotic for Jed to try for the extra bases down three runs.

    That was a great slow motion comeback, I now expect the A’s to win in another hour or two.

      Tying it after all those Scioscia pitching changes was certainly satisfying.

      Interesting, Slusser is famously well-connected with the A’s front office but this piece is sourced to “baseball circles and those in the know.” It also variously speculates about a full house cleaning by Fisher or a Beane Beane, Forst takes full charge scenario.

      After the five year playoff drought we’d be at after next season, a change of manager and GM would be expected by most teams, and could happen here. But this reads like Fisher floating a range of hypotheses for Slusser to print then see what happens.

        I thought it was coming (at least in part) from somewhere other than ownership.
        This part

        A’s ownership denied the Yankees’ request to interview Melvin last winter for their open managerial job, but did not offer him a new contract at the time.

        sure doesn’t make the owners look good.

        • 5Aces Jun 19,2018 10:49 am || Up

          I was actually thinking it could be from Beane. Especially the way he has been saying even he knows at some point they need to win. Maybe a push to get Fisher to break open the wallet even before the new stadium is under construction.

          • Glorious Mundy Jun 19,2018 11:54 am || Up

            I could see that. I also wonder whether the rhetorical question about whether Beane and/or Melvin could land with the Giants is a shot across the bow from someone or just editorial insistence on including something about that team.

              Billy won’t go anywhere else, he’ll just step away and work on soccer.

              It would be too much of a PITA for him to divest his ownership stake, even if it’s a small percentage.

              And I have to say: mikev is one of my favorite people on here -slusser.

              Thanks, and go As.

              • FreeSeatUpgrade Jun 19,2018 4:48 pm || Up

                I agree with this, but probably Billy’s ownership agreement comes with a majority owner buyout option.

      I’d say the odds were still against them.

      If they exist they should have shown up in other experiments (most notably IceCube), and it’s much easier to get a systematic effect that shows up as a false positive than a false negative.
