I would just hold serve at the deadline if I was AA. No need to go all out for a championship in a 60 game season
If we had a legitimate chance to win a WS, I don't care how many games are in the season, go for it, but we need too much to have a chance. We'd have have to completely unload the farm system to have a chance. Offense should get better when Acuna and Ozzie gets back, but we'd need at least two high quality starting pitchers to even think about a possible WS run.

Last year was our best shot at a WS since the big 3 was still intact. We had a great offense a really strong rotation, and the backend of the bullpen was pretty good by the end of the year too. We blew it, and it might be a while before we have that good of a team again.

I guarantee we don’t spend this offseason. We will probably resign Ozuna and d’Arnaud(if he is FA) but I guarantee the rest of our money will go to extending Freddie who is a FA after next season.

Can't get mad a Smith. A solo home run for their first run of the game shouldn't be the tying run.

Then we'll be lucky to get the second wild card. But with the deals they signed Acuna and Ozzie to, which are bargains, I'm gonna be pissed if we don't have at least two reliable starters to start the season with.

Good job by Freid and Melancon tonight keeping the score low to win with a couple solos.

The starting pitching assignment in tomorrow’s rubber game has me completely baffled.

A’s have hit four grand slams in the 9th this season and are looking like a legitimate contender. Highly recommend watching.

The fact that Robbie Erlin is starting for us today should get AA fired on the spot. Pathetic

Lot of 90mph fastball left up in the zone. Gonna get rocked eventually if he doesn’t start lowering it.
