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

[Bmurph]

I looked at their line-up without Reddick and without Crisp yesterday. I thought this was a very fortunate first series with them. It's going to be a long year with this rotation.

Don't forget the young bullpen with maybe Wandy as the LH'er. Pitching has got to improve on ST or I had hoped, or its gonna be a damn long year

Yeah, this is certainly a bad luck game... thing that bothers me to most is you got the first guy in your rotation only give you 4 IP on 90 pitches. That will have to improve.

Gallardo looked terrible. He couldn't locate any of his pitches, and this was a big strike zone tonight.

Rua is going to hit, Prince and Beltre will be fine but the rest of the lineup is going to be hard to watch most nights

 

[Bmurph]

Elvis is his usual dogshit self

 

[TheRangerDude]

Pitching is gonna be as bad as the offense all year I'm afraid. I was hoping it was gonna somehow surprise but Im afraid that was the Homer in me

Yeah, I won't lie... I'm going into this season with pretty low expectations but hoping to be surprised.

Good effort Elvis. Way to be a leader.

Elvis 0-4. BS

He just doesnt look like he has a clue at the plate at all anymore

 

[Bmurph]

1 lousy fucking hit, thanks for keeping it from being a no hitter Ryan

 

[TheRangerDude]

Ok, lets hope for a more exciting one tomorrow. I'm looking forward to the Holland start. I bet he brings his game tomorrow.

 

[Bmurph]

Too bad I stayed up til midnight for this shit

Unfortunately looks like we are stuck with him in the two hole again this year.

Same here.

He won't start until at least friday at home and maybe not then if he's still got the bad shoulder

I think I predicted 72 wins before season started

I thought Colby was pitching tomorrow.

Hope not, hope Jeff moves him down to 9th. Can he go lower than that in the lineup? Too bad he got that 130 million dollar contract, we are stuck with though

He is
