      The Mountain West went a more than respectable 5-5 vs. the Pac-12 this year. That conference has three almost-always good teams: Boise State, San Diego State and (at least more often than not) Fresno State. The rest of the teams have the occasional star player (Colin Kaepernick, Jordan Love, Josh Allen) but can’t usually sustain any brief success. The 5-5 record is due to (1) SDSU and Fresno State going 3 for 4, with Fresno State also in the game late vs. Oregon and (2) the “Power Five” Pac-12 continuing its sad downward spiral.

      I’m glad to see Fresno State ranked in both major polls this week, although the Coaches Poll putting UCLA #24 and Fresno State #25 tells me some of the voters (usually Sports Information Directors in that one, not the coaches themselves) filled out their ballots and went to bed before the game in Pasadena ended.

        He must’ve pitched the 6th also which I missed. In the 7th leadoff guy reached on a Machin error, then a booming double which barely stayed in the yard, then pop out, then sac fly for an unearned run, then pulled for Grant Holmes. Fiers fastball was all over the place, breaking stuff was sharper.

    6-3 against the bad teams. OK, but probably not quite enough.
    It looks like 92 wins is still the target for the WC: Boston needs to go 6-5 to get there, Toronto 8-5, NY 9-3, Oakland 10-3.
    So not quite the 12 out of 13 Soaker joked(?) about needing against Seattle and Houston (which, given how many of them are head-to-head, would actually give us a good shot of catching Houston for the division), but still likely just out of reach.

      A’s go 10-3, unless its a sweep of the mariners, isn’t the division just as likely?

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

        That’s really asking a lot of the Angels over the next four games.

      • andeux Sep 19,2021 4:41 pm || Up

        We’re 6 back.
        6-1 against Seattle, 4-2 against Houston probably isn’t enough.
        Even 5-2, 5-1 might not be.

    One can only imagine how spectacular the implosion would be if the A’s actually did somehow make it into the Wild Card game.

      “So the A’s turn to Sergio Romo to preserve this 2-run lead. Springer, Semien and Guerrero due up.”

      Have to admit, each day had a more and more creative way of almost losing the game

    What do we think, Bassitt or Bailey on Thursday?

    • andeux Sep 19,2021 8:01 pm || Up

      Hoping it’s Bassitt. Might even be enough to get me off my couch and to the coliseum.

        If you bring up Bailey for a spot start on Thursday, you can go Bassitt, Montas, Manaea against Houston, and set up Montas and Manaea to both pitch in the last series at Houston. That also gives Manaea the extra day of rest he seems to thrive on, and avoids sending Blackburn out to face the Astros twice.

    • andeux Sep 20,2021 3:17 pm || Up

      Kap currently listed for Thursday (according to Martin Gallegos. The site says TBD.)

    Your Oakland WC pitching staff:
    Bassitt
    Bailey
    Fiers
    Romo
    DieBBman
    Guerra
    Trivino

    After the Hound I guess I want Guerra?

            You’re gonna need a bigger bullpen.

    I was on the road and listened to exactly one half inning today: the bottom of the 9th. Was truly shocked to get home later to find that the A’s won.

    Five in a row! We’re gonna make the WC and win it and ugly up the whole playoffs. Suck it, Mandfredjenson!

      If Jamie Moyer wants a job for two weeks he might want to give Forst a call.

      Haha, I was listening to “Help on the Way” when I read this news.

      • andeux Sep 20,2021 3:13 pm || Up

        Weird.
        I had that song in my head this morning (not sure why).

        Then I read Mike Tanier’s NFL column which had this:

        Indianapolis Colts to be Featured on an In-Season Edition of HBO’s Hard Knocks
        Come to watch Wentz heroically gut through his latest injury recovery, stay for Jim Irsay’s 45-minute acoustic guitar rendering of Help on the Way/Slipknot/Franklin’s Tower.

        Now you mention it too.

    It would help if the Rays had a very strong finish to the season, wouldn’t it.

        but it is nice to seen yandy diaz doesn’t specialize in ruining the A’s playoff hopes.
