    Home runs are fun

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

      Let me check with Brett about that.

    why can’t they score runs anymore?

      Yeah, Brett is relying on the “better lucky than good” formula.

    So endless bullpen didnt start quite the way we want it to.

    I just want a few years where the A’s really stick it to the angels.

    I have $5. No I don\'t.
  9. Soaker Aug 10,2018 10:02 pm

    It was almost as if the top of the first was so easy, the A’s relaxed, like the hare.

    is it me, or is the lineup not scoring runs anymore?

      As has been noted by others here, Jed hasn’t been able to hit his way out of a paper bag since Piscotty ran into him right before the All-Star break. Grabbing the quick numbers off B-R, he’s .145/.272/.217 in the last 28 days and even worse more recently. Also, Piscotty is back to his early-season form.

      Bob is giving Olson his fifth non-start of the season tonight, vs. the LHP. Olson’s slash line is about smack dab where it was in the middle of May so I don’t see him as the issue although I’d prefer fewer K’s.

        I would prefer lowrie take a few days off.

    I really dislike the Angels.

    If they blow a 5-0 I won’t be blaming the offense.

    Leareano needs some time with jed

      I dunno, if he’s going to do THAT maybe he’d better stay away from Jed.

    Laureano is fun.

    Dammit Semien, if you’re going to hit for the cycle that needs to be a single or triple.

    So I picked the wrong night to take the kids out.

    I didnt think I would see a better throw against slegnA than the Yo one. I was wrong.

    This is fun

    Because survival is insufficient
  24. elcroata Aug 12,2018 1:36 pm

    Admittedly, it’s more fun when the A’s are batting

    Because survival is insufficient
    • Future Ed Aug 12,2018 2:47 pm || Up

      they get to bat a few times

      I have $5. No I don\'t.
  25. mother pucker Aug 12,2018 1:55 pm

    I hope the bullpen appreciated the rest.

  26. elcroata Aug 12,2018 2:40 pm

    Also, this is Jim Johnson I know

      that’s what I logged on to say

  29. Ben Folds' Nuts Aug 12,2018 2:49 pm

    I’m fine with that throw being shown over and over again

  30. Soaker Aug 12,2018 2:54 pm

    You know Bob is going to let Cahill try to complete 5 for win eligibility, so it wouldn’t hurt for the A’s to pick up another 2 or 3 in the top of the 5th.

      how do you feel about 1?

      I have $5. No I don\'t.
      • Soaker Aug 12,2018 3:14 pm || Up

        The hook is a bit quicker than I expected so the A’s have a fighting chance to tie the inning.

  31. Future Ed Aug 12,2018 3:19 pm

    so, no dl for lowrie?

  32. Glorious Mundy Aug 12,2018 3:21 pm

    They sure are hitting a lot of our guys.

  33. lenscrafters Aug 12,2018 3:21 pm

    Fuck that piece of shit. You hit 3 of us guys and have to hit one more because they hit Upton?

      It’s Scioscia’s revenge for Alcantara’s MLB debut (3 HBP in the 1st inning).

      Having Treinen hit the leadoff hitter in a one-run game would show him!

    The A’s are paying Brandon Moss how much for the “privilege” of having Buchter?

  36. Soaker Aug 12,2018 3:49 pm

    Disaster averted, so far, because they’ve figured out how to get an 0-for-4 with 3 K out of Ohtani.

    Despite the incredible super duper bullpen I’m still not convinced 8 runs wins this game.

    We’ve had too many games with big leads this year where we needed to use all of the bullpen.

    Treinen is quite clearly a step above Familia/Rodney/Trivino.

      While I sure as hell don’t disagree, I’m wondering – what thread in particular brought on this observation?

      I’d also guess most others here don’t give a damn. But I’m morbidly curious.
