        Somehow Cal spend $500M on Memorial Stadium and we still get the knees in the back just like when we were students. Plus the same old porta potties on the east side. But Tradition!, like not playing in the Rose Bowl.

    This feels like another one of those games where the A’s don’t hit until putting together a teAse in the late innings. It doesn’t help that this fking ump is giving Bumgarner everything.

    • lenscrafters Aug 13,2019 9:31 pm || Up

      Quality teAse at least.

    No disrespect to Brett, who has made some good pitches, but this Giants lineup is putrid.

      I’ve never been one to talk about batting average but my god, this offense is so one dimensional. Outside of the home run, they’re just bad at hitting.

      • Soaker Aug 13,2019 8:35 pm || Up

        I’d like to see a path to the place where the A’s aren’t at least 5 games out of the #2 wild card a week from Sunday, but am having a tough time with the routefinding at the moment.

    I’m having trouble following the politics of the sale of the Coliseum site. Who’s just being stupid, who is just posturing, who is acting as a stalking horse for some developer/community group/port interests/nimbys/the Giants etc.

    • dmoas Aug 14,2019 9:37 am || Up

      Just give it to the A’s for the cost of the outstanding loans and tell them to fuck off on their idiotic Howard Terminal plan. City & County get the money they need to not be in debt, the A’s get the land they need to build a stadium+.

    • FreeSeatUpgrade Aug 14,2019 10:56 am || Up

      It’s classic Oakland City Council behavior, unwilling to allow a single step of progress occur without taking the opportunity to dip their beaks ensure that the taxpayers are best served.

        It’s the tardiness of their obstruction that is most perplexing. They could have started jamming this up months ago, and instead they are wading in at the last minute.

  19. Glorious Mundy Aug 14,2019 10:45 am

    Beau Taylor is the one DFA’d for Joseph. That seems risky with Phegley, Murphy, and Heim all injured in some form.

    • lenscrafters Aug 14,2019 11:01 am || Up

      That’s interesting to me because unless they want to carry 3 catchers on the 25 man, another one will have to be DFA’d to make room for Phegley.

      • andeux Aug 14,2019 11:11 am || Up

        It would not surprise me if they kept Phegley on his rehab assignment for a while, and then carried all 3 after that.

    It sucks that we’re going to get Bumgarner twice in our 4 games against the Giants. They are pretty awful.

    Stephen Vogt might be their best hitter.

      Bob should probably make sure the Giants see Bailey again. He appears to own them.

      • Glorious Mundy Aug 14,2019 3:01 pm || Up

      • andeux Aug 14,2019 5:17 pm || Up

        Because Monday is an off day, Bailey’s next start would be Tuesday the 20th. He could then also pitch against the Giants on Sunday the 25th on regular rest, but (with another off day Thursday) that would mean pushing Fiers back an extra day, which I’m not sure is really what we would want to do.
        Alternatively, you could use those two off days to skip Bailey completely, and then have him start against the Giants on 9 or 10 days rest. That seems more attractive to me, but they might not want to skip him after his best start for us.
        Manaea could potentially be available that same weekend (supposed to make his last rehab start this coming Monday) which complicates things even more.

        He pitched like someone who was already thinking about his dinner plans and had no thought of ever coming in. Now we get to burn Petit and Hendriks in a game where Homer Bailey was at just 90 pitches after 7.

      This is obviously a positive development but man, I at least have become thoroughly demoralized about the A’s chances of hanging with Houston in any ballgame.

      • lenscrafters Aug 14,2019 4:27 pm || Up

        There’s a chance Cole doesn’t pitch in the series. The Verlander game seems like a likely loss for obvious reasons. I’m not that scared of Greinke but he’s going up against Anderson and the Astros crush lefties. They have to win tomorrow’s game, Fiers against Aaron Sanchez.

        A split seems doable, and if you can get 2 of 3 from the Yankees (obviously not easy but the A’s are probably facing Happ, opener, Tanaka who have been meh this year), there’s no way you can come out of it worse than 5 GB of the Rays which isn’t unmanageable.

        Of course, you still have 7 games against the Yankees and Astros remaining after that.

      • Glorious Mundy Aug 14,2019 4:46 pm || Up

        Next season all 16 games against the Astros will happen before the end of July. I hope they get a lot worse during the offseason.

            Correct, it’s actually 19 of the first 108 games (17.6%). After they are done with the Astros, they still have 10 against the Rangers, 7 against the Angels, 5 against the Mariners, 24 against other AL teams and 8 interleague.
