Hernandez should be added. And our. pen is toast. Not much on the farm some say.

Defense is killing us too. Missed throws from OF letting runners advance and the good by Otto was a game changer.
And yes have to make contact with guy in 3B

I guess the A’s pitching has been good but then hitting not until they see our guys

Again did not like Woodward interview
Re Huff food arm but passed balls
A lot to work on but I don’t think they have a plan to work on it

Saw where Wash is working with Cano and his defense. He has that down and despite favoritism he produced pride and winning attitude. I would prefer him over Woodward

not really. but you don't usually see teams in the thick of things fire their manager in mid-July.
well technically we would be considered by some to be in the thick of things as we're only 4.5 games back from the last WC place which is held by Boston and Toronto is tied with them.

Toronto is closer to first place than we are, and they're in 4th place in their division.

not arguing but there is only 4.5 games between us and them which isn't that much when looking at the Wild cards. not talking about 1st place in divisions.


but i'm not even thinking about playoffs this season.

right. my point is that Toronto is definitely right in the middle of the hunt. The Rangers are on the outskirts at best.

As a manager, Wash is a great coach. Lol

I don't know that I would want Woodward as a coach.

Banny got onto veterans who made a mistake and JD ran him out of here.

There has got to be someone better than those three, but it is yet to be seen if JD can find anyone that is.

Teams who can't bring a runner home from 3rd to win the game and then give up an 8 spot against the A's don't deserve to be in the Wild Card conversation.
Not only that as I said there was just 1 out. Put the bat on the ball and hope for the best but instead we struck out on those chances in the 9th and 10th.

Guess I feel we have sunk pretty low. Have to put alot of the sloppiness of the defense on Mgr and the constant excuses for the players lack of performance is mind blowing

FWIW Wash would NEVER play Duggar this much. He would be on the pine 24/7

But yes Ha I notice your backhanded Wash compliment
