Series Thread: Let's take 4 from the hated A's!

Chirinos is having a hell of a time blocking the freaking ball

 

[romeo212000]

And that's probably game.

Not much point spending a bunch of dollars or prospects on pitching moves until we found out exactly how guys were going to come back health wise.

Exactly.

Leadoff walk was the catalyst for this inning

 

[Bmurph]

I had a bottle of wine and then thought, "I'm not gonna be able to do this for the entire season."

I'm seriously surprised the Rangers brought Busby's silly ass back.

I was hoping they would give someone else a shot, Busby makes Grieve almost unbearable as well

Meanwhile, the only way we can get on base is hbp.

Good point.

Choo gets a hit here

 

[saddles]

Ok guys, I tried to read and catch a story or two in the off season. Obviously Yu going down was the whopper. Knew Perez wouldn't be ready until mid season or so, but tell me this, why didn't they try for some major pitching talent? No money, no one interested in coming here?

They decided after the 2013 season that they wouldn't be adding any substantial amount of payroll through this past offseason. Maybe that will change next offseason.

A "name" so to speak, not sure who was even available, someone like Hamels?[/QUOTE

... it will turn out that all Hamels is ... is just a name... and a 7.20 ERA on Opening Day validates it.

Guy w the glove and cant make a play. I lied about Choo it appears

Except for ya know, Choo and Fielder right?

Rua got under it a bit

 

[romeo212000]

Everybody is jumping at anything around the plate. No plan whatsoever at the plate.

 

[spicesadie]

Wow...glad he wasn't starting here, lol.

 

[DT LUNA]

Gallardo is it, really.

Won't matter if we can't score. Offense is just as bad.

I am afraid we see a lot of that again this year. Magadan approach

 

[ESPN Refugee]

Just started tuning in to the game and I see we don't have a hit yet

 

[romeo212000]

Going to get no fucking hit on opening night.

Still wonder the thinking about bringing Magadan back. I mean I was super excited when he came here but have been nothing but underwhelmed. Obviously I'm pretty sure he's teaching the right things but it's not getting in these guys' heads and it's much easier getting rid of a hitting coach then half the team at this point.
