i love to pile on bf as much as anyone...
yea he had runners on, but reddick ate that one up...

 

[grusumm18]

a reddick walk

a seth xbh

a decent outing by ty (good outing, but 5 walks)

dont mind the l's, but avoiding sweeps is nice

 

[wearinthefourfive]

Parker making the start on Wednesday, Godfrey sent down; I'm not even mad.

Carter hit 3 bombs today for Sacramento, I say give the man a chance at first.


Oh, and try to find a 3rd baseman somewhere.

 

[smokey1212]

I don't like bringing Parker up right now, but damn Godfrey is just terrible.
Michael Taylor is ripping up AAA right now too, but I think he may be AAAA material for life.

Also, we got a pitcher in AA who looks real solid so far this year in AJ Griffin. Will be watchin. 

Cespedes has reached base in 15/16 games this year. Not bad for the Rook.

 

[grusumm18]

mt = 4a
cc = 4a

feels batman...after that cc error (he was plaing 1b, popup in foul territory), bob never gave him another shot
the new black bash brothers were something i was really pulling for...

 

[urb]

Another scoreless loss. 

 

[smokey1212]

Damn, losing Sizemore has created a gigantic blackhole in the team.

We don't have promising 3b until you get down to Low-A ball.

Cespy though, still a beast.

We could do worse (not much worse), building around Weeks, Ces, and Reddick. Now we just gotta fill the #2, 5-9 holes and we'd be set.

 

[johnson1]

Pennington - .212

Weeks - .200

Crisp - .167

Suzuki - .186


and I know there is more, Good lord

 

[smokey1212]

Weeks will pull out of that group up to about .280, and Penny will push it up to .250.

Zooks sucks (prey Derek Norris is Legit) and Coco was a *#@+ signing that we won't be able to dump at the deadline.

 

[GreenNGold89]

I just received a text saying "The A's couldn't !$#%$*@ score in a #+#$! house."

 

[Johnny_Cakes]

Ugh, what the hell is up with Suzuki. After Kendall, who was supposed to be a great hitter coming out of Pittsburgh and couldn't hit here, I thought we'd have a decent bat in Suzuki, but he's even worse.

There is something fundamentally wrong with how the organization handles hitting, there has to be.

 

[grusumm18]

om
mf
g

zuk of all ppl (i like many other, facepalmed when i heard him announced)

 

[eagle 0n]

Milone 

 

[bigbrandon]

Great win tonight. Kurt clutch coming through with the big hit in the 8th off the bench. Bats didn't show until late but pitching was on point.

 

[smokey1212]

Nice game by Milone

 

[wearinthefourfive]

Wow, first pitch by Balfour ties the game; Konerko is just destroying us this series.

Parker pitched a hell of a game though.

 

[grusumm18]

oak could start the 1st lineup in mlb history that had its corner inf hitting in 8 and 9 holes

 

[wearinthefourfive]

HOLY TOLEDO!
