  1. Stanek just wanted more air time.
  2. Damn. Sears for Cy Young.
  3. And just like that…Hello Altuve and I have no idea what I’m talking about lol
  4. My friends last night were acting like Altuve being back was going to solve all ills. I told them that, in the near term, it could actually be a step back in black and white numbers on paper. I watched his games with SL and CC. He basically did the same as last night. No doubt he adds some pep to the clubhouse, but when compared to the surprising production Dubon supplied, it could be that Altuve provides less until he gets his feet under him. Hopefully not more than couple weeks. Could be a month. He had a short spring. And will he be the old Altuve or is he damaged? The Twitter cheerleaders, especially a few that are just insufferable with no balance, have shot expectations through the roof. The A’s provide a nice soft start point but until we see otherwise, any production from either Jose is a bonus at this point. Four to six weeks from now we will know more and how many moves we need to make. I put the over under at 2.5.
  5. Let’s get some runs now. This is starting to feel like one of those fluky A’s games.
  6. Saw on the Twitter that single for Abreu was his hardest hit ball of the year. 110mph. Progress?
  7. I was definitely interested in Yoshida. I haven’t looked how he’s doing so far. Houston just doesn’t seem to be on the radar for the Japanese players.
  8. He hasn't been gone that long lol. He does not wear shin guards. Typically one elbow pad, but he has went without it too before like he did in the WBC Lol He just looked so naked. Probably the weird uniform too.
  9. I’m afraid I don’t have time to really study it or devise plans to that degree but the one thing I think I would have done is try to create a package that included Stanek to get one of Arizonas outfielders when they openly were looking for bullpen help. He was never going to duplicate last years stats so you are trying to sell high and he’s down the pecking order in our pen so barring a ton of injuries he could be replaced and or not really missed. But standing pat depending on everyone to stay healthy and/or duplicate one off seasons is asking for disappointment. Should always be trying to build depth and from my limited view we didn’t try. I do realize saying to deal Stanek seems counterintuitive to what I was saying about depth but the return would have been significantly greater with an everyday player. Oh and my other reason for dealing Stanek is he is a free agent after this year. He’s probably gone anyway.
  10. Altuve warning track to straight center. Curiously, he wore no padding of any kind on his arms or legs. Doesn’t he usually wear an elbow/upper arm pad and shin guard?
  11. Rain delay. Wtf. Altuve with SL on Bally will suffice. https://applink.ballylive.app
  12. The cap to one of the worst off seasons ever. GM….we don’t need no stinkin GM. It’s not even the moves they made, which 2 out of 3 were arguably bad from the jump. It’s the moves that weren’t made to shore up the OF, C and pitching insurance. It’s an uphill climb from here. We are about to see what kind of wizard Dana Brown is and his bag of tricks.
  13. I don’t know if it’s been mentioned in here or not but if you want to watch any minor league game you can download the Bally Live app. Log in with phone number. It’s free. I think for the whole year. If you click on the MiLB Zone at the bottom of the app all the games will populate. For those interested.
  14. Thought for sure that was a 3 pitch strikeout for Peña the way it started
  15. cmon Yordan! Don’t take the bat out of Abreu’s hands!
  16. Madris is this years Lewis Brinson. Brinson hit .299 with 22 at Sugarland but was probably never coming up. AAA lifer. Only difference is Click didn’t waste a spot on the 40 on him.
  17. Or why we have dead weight like Bannon and Madris on our 40.
  18. Fire the GM. Oh wait.
  19. Batting practice pitch
  20. Saved by stupidity
  21. I really didn’t think Hensley could suck this bad. His 5 minutes is up. The clock has struck 12 for Dubon also I’m afraid. Abreu and Bregman are single-wides occupying prime real estate in the order. It’s Yordan and Tuck and pray a hog finds an acorn somewhere in the lineup. We can plug Altuve, Brantley and even Chas into the lineup but as long as both corners are closer to the Mendoza line than .300, with the power of a 10 year old girl softball player, this team is going to struggle around .500. Another pitching injury and that’s in jeopardy.
  22. Wtf. Good night guys. Can’t have nothin nice this year.
  23. Gotta hold your breath when Maldy goes to the mound these days
