nice moves there coach. not

6-2 is a bit of a stretch. Plays like absolute shit at home. Not like they did anything special before the last road trip.

2/3 from the Royals is not nothing

By all means the inning should have been over had Taylor fielded properly.

And got swept by a division rival... Divisional wins are more important.

 

[Podunkparte]

And given the competition, Oakland minus rich hill, Minnesota and 2 with SD, 6-2 shouldn't be a stretch for a team 9 games over .500

M's are under .500 against the AL west. The other team? Houston. Rest are +.500 In this division.

All I'm saying is don't look past the A's... They've won 6 of 7 here and already swept the M's once this season at home.

 

[unlvmariners]

This team goes full retard when they play at home.

 

[boogiewithstu2007]

Strange how there so good on the road but seem to struggle at home... WTF...

 

[Banned 10x]

Seriously though, what the fuck is wrong with this team at home?

Not looking passed them. All I'm saying is winning 2/3, 2/3, and 2/2 against 3 sub .500 teams is not unreasonable from a team that has won the vast majority of their series.

Let's hope so... This bullpen seems to be night and day at home as well.

 

[Cloud]

UGLY last 4 games at home. 2 blown saves. 2 shutouts.

Thank god Texas lost as well.

 

[uwdawgfan]

Its one game, lets just win the series! Gotta hit the fucking ball...

If we do make the playoffs, I hope whoever we face doesn't end up trading for Rich Hill (????).

I tend to think he won't last a full year. Could see him fading like Chris Young did a couple years ago. All those arm angles with that curve has to catch up with him. However for now at least he's really good.

 

[wazzu31]

It's weird with Taylor, he was always touted as the stud defensive prospect then struggles badly. Then he also is a really good hitter when he goes to right center gap but looked like he was trying to pull everything

No shit!

Maybe....never really heard of this dude before, but his #s going back to last season are incredible. He's 36, too. Where the hell has been or where did he come from? It's like the As have 1 good player and he's responsible for the difference between us being 10-9 at home vs 8-11.

 

[Podunkparte]

There you go Cano. Get that rbi lead back
