Game Thread: Now the Hated A's...7/25-27

[WastinSomeTime]

With the bases empty now? They have been empty this entire inning.

I thought Sabathia avoided, but still. the more young arms the better. Trade rios to Baltimore for Gausman + a good prospect. Trade Rios and a lot of cash to Shittsburgh for that stud pitcher +josh bell... since we're bringing everyone else back to the Dallas area. Trade Rios to Toronto for their stud lefty. Trade Rios to SFG for that Kyle Crick stud. Trade Rios to KC for Kyle Zimmer (heard he's one of the best personalities in the minors btw). Trade Rios to Seattle to piss off Oakland and LAA. Seattle has like 5 million different pitching prospects that I'd be fine with getting.

The reason why we have to trade rios is that there are like 6 or 7 teams that want him. His price tag is extremely high for that reason. We WILL need pitching next season. Not might. We will need 2, maybe even 3 pitchers. Keep them young. Any and all of these teams have pitching prospects that would immediately become our best pitching prospect. You gotta pull the trigger.

I'm shocked at Williams performance so far...are the stinkin A's toying with us?? Wait till the 9th and hit a walk off 3run HR that they are so good at doing...???

Whew! But still.

Don't think any of us thought Williams would just give up 1 run in 6 innings.

They have to be right? They're in first place and the divisions only gonna get tougher with the yanks getting better. Rios would be perfect for them. And Gausman is who theyd HAVE to give up. I mean think about it. He's too young/inexperienced to be in the playoff rotation. Rios will start every game and provide an impact bat. Losing Gausman wouldnt really affect them this year, which youd think theyd be all in at this point. If we're trading them Rios, it would HAVE to be gausman and someone else. Maybe not a guy like Harvey... that seems excessive. But still Gausman would be a huge haul with his stuff/size. Anything more with Gausman would be a huge plus

No way they do that, extra SPs or not, ridiculous even

I'm afraid, over Beltre's dead body if at third.

AB is a human and his day of decline is much sooner than later IMO. I love him. Which has nothing to do with the fact he's going into his 18th professional season, bad wheels and all for 2015.

JP you moron

Jesus H Crackers man.....give the guy a breath will ya?

 

[DT LUNA]

Earlier today I said this should be the Rangers WS and I think they agree

 

[WastinSomeTime]

We have actually scored more than 2 runs.

Wow! Back to back attacks. Thanks

 

[BLeslie59Rangers]

O'Flaherty was a very effective set up guy for the Braves a few years back before he got hurt...

Hold on bullpen......

I'm actually watching and hoping they win. Embrace the spoiler role! It's all we have left and fuck the A's!

 

[Justinkm83]

It's weird. While we are winning I'm happy, but I don't want them to go on a crazy winning streak or anything. I'd rather them sweep this series then lose the next 7 to make up the difference. That sounds so shitty, but that just how I feel. I'm numb to losing this year. I wanted our 1st round pick protected. That's when we had the 10th worst record. Now that we have sucked so bad for the past month+ I've moved on to the #1 overall pick like many others on here.

 

[donaldson79]

We have actually scored more than 2 runs.

In the same half inning when they scored one. Will wonders never cease? haha

Frasor, Cotts and Soria!!!!.....oh wait....

Cotts, Cotts, and Cotts...
