I just don’t know who any of those guys are.
Ray Fosse now gets one rambling stream of non sequiturs to start each half-inning. Glen calls flies like he’s not allowed to attend home games either.
"Kraut will get you through times of no money better than money will get you through times of no kraut."
Seriously, I don’t know a single name on the active roster of the Cleveland…Cleveland…somethings.
Duh dut DEHHHH Duh det DUHHHH…
Thankyouverymuch
FKing useless White Sox
unbelievable
ok here, manaea? bassitt was listed yesterday i thought
Sounds like Melvin was caught off guard by Bassitt pitching in Denver. First half of this quote sounds like he was a little pissed about it.
I was in the kitchen with no sight line to the TV and my kid said “bassitt is pitching.” “no he isn’t” I replied fully convinced I was right
I haven’t seen why, but Melvin says probably Sunday now. I guess more rest?
See everyone, Mitch still has it!! Give us a case of bats for him!
He looks like he gained a couple bats of width during his
dumbassCOVID break.um, just saw the replay…is that billy butler?
Chapman has to cheat early to catch up to the high stuff now. That’s why he keeps swinging at shit.
these games are one or two hits away from an A’s win
Getting tired of 1-2 hits away.
Olson would have been out by 30ft. Good hokd.
Swing the goddamn bat!
JED!!
Whoo hoo!
never in doubt
Elvis and Jed vs 100+ mph: Advantage Oakland.
Jed listens to FSU!
I woke up still angry about the loss last night.

Welcome back Canha, and congrats to Aviators fan-favorite Bolt.
I am guessing he won’t be on the aviators long
Per The Athletic:
So far I like the new fat Moreland better than the old one.
Last night, roxy spoke about lengthening the A’s lineup with him. I don’t see it
Widening the lineup also works.
KK is using the actual name of the club this year. I thought in years past he used almost exclusively “the clevelands”
Trying to buy tix for Monday (first game of year) and it shows the front part of 114-119 as not for sale. What’s up with that?
don’t know, but my guess is to cut off access to the tunnels
Ended up in 217, which is my fave non-front row spot anyway. Dumped a good chunk of my leftover 2020 A’s Access money into the tix, so psychologically we’re going for free tonight.
Enjoy! I just bought plaza level tix for Tuesday Aug 3 v Padres.
would have thought chapman was working on hitting over the break
Frankie Fallapart inning in progress.
Ah the classic “Frankie freaks out for 4 batters and we are now losing”…
I giggled at both of these, but, 1 run against cal quantril is suboptimal
Oh very much. Like last night, and like the last month, 1-2 more runs pls.
aramis on base by any means necessary
Fight the (warning track) Power!
naturally
Oh..rat farts!
it would be nice to start the 7th with canha and not garcia
JB?
Chapman brown kemp will surely score 2 runs in the 9th
Almost. My fault, I just got back home and turned it back on.
So close yet so far.
One more hit in any inning gets a win
Is there some way that you can replace a non-hitter on our team with a hitter who currently plays for a different team? Asking for a friend.
Crap
white sox don’t want to win
Bassitt missing his spots by a lot today.
what is the lowest run differential that a position player comes in? 1-0 seems about right here
Seems like he settled down right around when I posted that.
Ugh, like 2 feet higher.
Colorful hippie with Devo hat in the Dimond level today.
is it you?
Was just about to ask which one of us is at the game down there.
No that guy has more of a blockhead.
its called an energy dome
No, it’s not me.
lol okesac gets an earned run because you can’t assume a double play and that fly ball was likely deep enough
honest question, how do you guys listen to glen and ray?
Mostly I kind of tune them out.
Glen doesn’t bother me so much. He’s just kind of bland.
Ray is terrible.
This is how I see it too. Unfortunately the deep local roots each has makes them essentially unfireable.
Agreed. But I feel like Glen is getting worse and Ray is being phased out which sort of creates a weird balance of my frustration with them.
But as said below, I just lose focus and let my hearing work its magic.
Don’t run
onRamon.When you have stopped twice between the bases it is time to just go back Ramon.
@ed, significant hearing loss.
this is a typical a’s game
Early in the game Ken, slipping into a Vince-ism, said “The A’s need to find more consistency from their offense.” Uh, no, consistency has been a hallmark of the last several weeks.
Bat of Renown!
Seth Brown and his bat of sporadic success!
I wish him well as joey gallo’s replacement
Too bad no one was on base for that Brown HR. Bad luck.
Are you fucking kidding me? Why is it impossible to get this guy out?
.218/.298/.420…in AAA this year
great sign david, now get another pitcher
It’s hard to imagine this team holding onto a wild card spot by this time next week. Maybe if they ponied up for Cruz and Gallo (lol), and Chapman and Laureano turn back the clock to 2019.
My October calendar is opening up for backpacking trips.
Leading The League in…something: The only pitcher whose spin rate dropped more than Trevor Bauer’s after the sticky stuff ban was imposed is an Oakland Athletic. (NYT link)
huh. Seems bad, but there is a baseline problem you can see straight away
The Ben Zobrist divorce filing is wild – felt pretty uncomfortable reading it.
I would like all parties to explain how these events constituted singing Jesus’s praises.
His praises shouldnt be sang until he can go 2-3 games without giving up a HR.
Can I join asking for money back for being subject to her singing the anthem when I was in the front row seats?
