Series Thread: F the Oakland A's 9/11-13

[Nightcrawler]

This is NOT a coincidence. Everyone in the AL west wants the Astros to win. This is complete bullshit. The A's have moved Sonny Gray to the Thursday game against........ the Rangers. Why the sense of urgency to start Gray when your team is out of it? When do we hear an announcement from McClendon up in Seattle that they are shutting down King Felix for the year now that the Rangers are off the schedule? We've seen the Mariners go out of their way to move Felix into games against us two times, we've seen Felix rested against the Astros once instead of pitched, and now we've seen Gray moved up to pitch against us. Seriously... Wtf????

We just need to go out and beat his ass, Gray was not good in his last start

Champions don't make excuses. They just win.

Win the game in front of you and it's all meaningless.

You really seem to be the kind of guy who can never own up to something. One of those people who always blames other people for his mistakes and flaws... Its not a good quality

Well, if you're gonna point this out as some type of conspiracy, it should be noted the A's are starting Sean Nolin tonight and he's going for his 4th time ever.

Gotta take the good with the bad ya know?

I also think it is the right thing to do in putting your best out there like Oakland is doing. I have not heard anything about Seattle not pitching King Felix the remainder of the season but if they were to skip him in a start against Houston then I think that is the wrong thing to do unless they are truly concerned about his health.

Is someone gonna start the new thread or just roll with this one?

I am okay with rolling with this one. We did win 2 out of 3 on it. I mean I am not superstitious or anything. But hey, why not.

yeah we could use a sweep, but I would be ok with 2 of 3 again. Just gotta keep winning series and take the series vs the Stros and we should be good

Rangers tab Hamels for Thursday at A’s, not Friday at Astros


Interesting move. Gets us more starts but we sure need to win at Houston. BTW Sonny Gray not going to pitch this series

It would be nice if the Halos could win at least one of these. 3-0 wasted to one run. I know we need to only take care of our business but it is not likely we win out. Could use a loss or two by Houston

True. That is a lot of ground to cover out there.

Guess it doesnt matter too much, if it isn't hit right at him. He's not catching anything he has to move for, but he's not gonna give you much help running balls down in the gaps or over his head either. Hitters will be able to run awhile.

 

[Bmurph]

Have to ask Martin to keep the ball in on LH'ers and away to the rh'ers for the first half of the game
