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

[saddles]

Sure it's overreaction?

Some of it will be and some of it won't be.

 

[saddles]

I still can't believe JD paid Choo so much

Too much per year and at least 3 years too many, maybe 4 years too many.

 

[scotsman1948]

It's 3 games in. Yes, it's overreaction.

exactly.

 

[saddles]

I think Corp will probably get the start at catcher today. That's usually the case for when a day game comes after a night game. (backup up C gets the start)

But other than that, looks fine.

Rua needs a day off. He's just swinging at everything and missing pitches right down the middle.
Elvis is........ya know what? Fuck Elvis right now and take off the stupid freaking ear muff hat. 4 errors (ok, should be 3) in 3 games and doing absolutely nothing at the plate. And all you can say for the errors is "its been tough".

Then again, the whole team is doing nothing at the plate. Except Fielder. This team needs a hitting coach...and bad. Magadan has had his "chance" to implement his ideals with this team. It OBVIOUSLY isnt working.

Maybe I just miss Clint Hurdle...


On to other things ---

Choo was out last night (and got pulled the previous night) b/c of fatigue. He's not injured though...





And then there's this from Scott Lucas. This was posted around the 1st inning of the game....

Scott Lucas is going to get on the bad side of the Ross Detwiler fan club.

What happened? havent read any boxscores this season.

Hooked On Phonics will do wonders for that.

 

[DT LUNA]

I guess we are in store for some more overreaction tomorrow.

I am looking forward to seeing what Mr. Martinez has in store for us tomorrow. Much, much better I hope.

More to it than Marty. He doesn't swing the bat or play SStop. This team has work to do.

3 games in and the whole team looks inadequate to me.

mike young, murphy, Washington and now this board has set their sights on Elvis as the 2015 whipping boy.

Andrus has been pretty underwhelming for several years now

But don't forget Choo as a whipping boy as well

Cool. I think my newspaper delivery boy either quit or is sick cuz I havent got the fish wrap since Sunday. At least I got that though because I got some real nice coupons in there for Arby's.

Here is an update:

Over the last 50 regular season games for each club Texas is 23-27 and Oakland is 19-31. During that time Texas is 6-4 when playing Oakland.

Now you are up to date.

So nice it needed sayin twice

Since you are a moderator maybe you can get to work on fixing the glitch that makes posts appear after they are discarded and that won't happen so much. Of course that would eat into your pouring-salt-into-wounds time.

very true...I'm sure a clear cut favorite will emerge.

just not seeing much through 3 games from anyone. All the hitters look overmatched and I'm not sure that's just a slow start thing for many of um

 

[Bmurph]

Mornin Tejas fans!

Mamba you don't have time to be here fucking with us, you should still be looking for the Ducks Nat'l Championship. Come back when you're done, that should be long enough

Oh I bet there will be plenty of goats as this year drags on

I am sure Magadan will be one and not so sure he shouldn't be. I know I was willing to give him a flyer with a new coach.

NoNatty is way cooler anyways. We can still remain Portland Hipsterish

Than goodness my A's have 9 WS. But then again, way easier to get a WS amirite?

How many of those 9 are without an asterisk? No PEDS? Likely none. Might be the dirtiest franchise in baseball amirite?

Not really. We pretty much keep to ourselves here.
