So cute.
My son! The country that saw you as a child will now see you turn into a big one.
Working hard everything can be done. I’m proud of you!
Love you! ?? pic.twitter.com/WJyLBVKWoR

Let’s ruin this party, eh?
Yes please.
I’m really curious about these axe handle bats he’ll be using. I would think they’d be more prone to fly or of the batter’s hands into the stands.
Doesn’t Canha use one though?
I know that Mookie Betts does
laureano does every once in a while. I don’t pay attention enough to know the split. But I know he has an axe handle.
I have swung a little leage axe bat. they are odd, there is a little lip on the inside.
Khal of the Great White North, Breaker of Chains of minor league servitude, Drinker of Labatts.
Yeah, Fiers is bad.
Especially his facial hair.
that inning wasnt terrible
Bad meaning awesome, obviously. That stache demands respect and fear. The pitches, much less so.
What would we need to give up to rent Stroman?
baseball is more fun when Khris davis is doing good things
Chad > Vlad!
FSU has been Stomper all along. How did we not see it?
We always knew from the autobiography.
I see no reason why Pinder shouldn’t be the everyday left fielder.
and canha be at forst untill olson returns
today, the baseball world will say the name…Pinder
Pinder is come.
Hitting against Stroman must be infuriating with all those awkward pauses.
why does the A;s director delay so much? I want to see the tag, not the runner taking off, not the catcher throwing
wow. 100 pitches
OK
did you read the farhan article in the …athletic? chron? merc?
there was a throwaway line about how dumb it is to not hit for a catcher because of a slight possibility of having to use the emergency catcher
so many tweets about the A’s game tonight
BB wendelken
Robbie Grossman? Robbie Grossman!
rotten robbie grossman
That could not have been closer to going out.
pinder should be playing everyday
can’t hate profor for that AB. tough pitch. also, he may have kept Giles to at most 2 games this series with the fouls
Agree. That was nasty.
Time for Trivino to come back.
Or not.
dome on.
Petit obliges all the hockey fans by ending things before the next puck drops.
Fangraphs AL WAR leaderboard currently has Chapman second (1.4) and Semien tied for third (1.3).
Sogard is Altuve all of a sudden? That’s what’s happening?
it is just that you always destroy your old team. Like morales is doing.
Sigh. Benched today at least.
Apparently Toronto owns us now.
That seemed like kind of a dirty slide, but after Profar had already made his horrible throw.
Also how horrible a person am I for being disappointed that Profar wasn’t hurt enough to even come out of the game?
You weren’t alone in that thought.
No you aren’t.
The Aviators flip-flopped Barreto and Mateo between 2B and SS in the two games I was down there. Exploring the options I suppose.
Had I stayed…I see the Chihuahuas are now up to 18 home runs in 4 games in the series.
That’s a five-game series, currently in the 4th inning of Game 5.
El Paso has:
51 runs
67 hits
21 home runs
25 walks drawn
Two more sky bolts for Skye Bolt today.
Slusser names him as a candidate to come up if Canha goes on the DL.
I don’t know if he’s the food geek Canha is, but there was one semi-similarity: his walkup music is Fleetwood Mac’s “The Chain”.
I swear Glen and Ray babble about the new sliding rules like they’re just hearing about them for the first time ever.
Danish law firm Jansen, Hanson, and Sogard due up.
lol if they overturn this…
“They might have Hundley bunt if they were down 2-0, but not down 4-0”
Hundley immediate grounds into what should have been an easy DP. Although to be fair, he’s probably capable of bunting into a DP as well.
Pretty sure all of Brandon FKing Drury’s hits are against us this year.
Oh goddammit
good thing trienen didn’t pitch yesterday, he wouldn’t be ready for the ninth here
also, way to fuck up a 95 win team dave, william.
At least my rays won. can we make this a rays blog?
Sure. Fosse and Man.
63 minutes was long enough apparently
I’m still holding out hope that Leicester City, who just thumped Arsenal, can get a point at Man City next Monday.
Blevins traded to Atlanta for soda machine change. If he couldn’t make this pen, he must really be done.
FKing ridiculous
OK this Sogard shit has gotten so ridiculous that I wonder if he knows what’s coming based on A’s infielder positioning.
Way to make the most of your opportunity Pinder.
Pinder channeling Profar today.
(posted before his second straight error)
(and before he got picked off)
(and his second bad AB with RISP)
We better not waste a gem from the Hound.
The A’s desperately need to see a team with crappy pitching like the Red Sox.
Shame we’re missing Sale.
Didn’t we used to have a good offense?
Still not going to get Treinen into this series, eh?
Soria threw 18 straight fastballs in that inning, and then got Galvis with a really nasty slider.
Gross, man
This Sogard business is getting downright spooky.
I’I swear it looks like he sneaks a late peak at the 2B positioning before the pitch comes in.
Morales did a helpful thing!
And another one!
Whoever has been doing advance scouting on the Blue Jays needs to be fired ASAP
Argh
Disgusting series
I hope that’s the low point of the season.
On the bright side we’re done with Toronto for the year.
my god, I am glad I spent the day in stockton.
Two-man bench
That ties nicely with 2.5 of our players hitting .200 or lower. Jesus isnt it about time for some tantrum trades or something?
Yeah can we make a scapegoat of Jeremy Giambi again?
The Houston Rockets have taken “lawyerball” to the next level: auditorball.
