The Oakland Athletics 2018 Offseason Season Thread | One and Done Again

Ryan cook is straight trash

 

[bronconation24]

Our bullpen is overated

 

[hadowajp]

I think cook is just overrated

We just had to play two series against the hottest team in baseball and got our ***** handed to us


Should have only scored one run today but got three that should be enough

Why wouldn't cook throw one in the dirt

All that being said kc doesn't really scare me they're just really really hot right now they have little to no power and I hoping they got hot a bit to early and come back to earth at some point before the end of the year

They do have without a doubt the best pen in baseball though

We'll be alright guys. Don't sweat it yet.

This lineup is not the same without the presence of Cespedes. I don't give a **** what any advanced stats say about the production of Vogt/Gomes. I like both those guys but neither is providing that middle of the lineup bat.

 

[hadowajp]

Doesn't matter now he's not coming back

My belief is that until moss turns it around were gonna stall, I think he's pressing since cespy left

The team wasn't exactly lighting it up before the trade either so I don't think a .245 hitter who's 4 the on the team in rbi's was the catalyst for all the runs early on

 

[GreenNGold89]

Moss had some nice AB's this series. Hopefully he gets it together soon. I don't care for the offense struggling right now, but they need to get hot soon and carry that into the playoffs. Angels are still right on our ***.

 

[Johnny_Cakes]

We need to beat the Angels pretty soundly when we play next week. That's the series of the season.

 

[bronconation24]

definitely^^^. Vogt donaldson and moss have to carry our bats. i really like abad  as a set up man. im getting tired of gregerson. 

 

[hadowajp]

So are we all going to these Angeles games?

 

[GreenNGold89]

I have tickets for Friday and Saturday already.

We can all do a meet up for Saturday. Thoughts?

 

[hadowajp]

I'll be there Saturday and Sunday I work Saturday so I'm gonna try and get out early and go around 330-4 o'clock

 

[Johnny_Cakes]

Is Friday sold out? My birthday falls on Friday and I expect to be in Santa Barbara for the weekend.

 

[hadowajp]

Is there fireworks if not I'm thinking you'll be good to go

I have fantasy football draft that night but I'll be there Thursday against the Mets

 

[GreenNGold89]

Fireworks are on Saturday I think. You should be able to grab tickets for Friday fairly easily.

 

[GreenNGold89]

This lineup makes me want to vomit.

Finally moss takes a seat gomes shouldn't be in the two hole though

 

[GreenNGold89]

You would prefer Nate in the lineup over Moss? I don't care how much Moss has struggled, Nate is no where near the hitter Moss is. Nate is trash against lefties and righties. I don't get why Moss is sitting, he got it going a bit in KC going 7/12.

 

[GreenNGold89]

You are better than that Gomes...

 

[hadowajp]

You are better than that Gomes...

Maybe at slow pitch

I think moss needs a Fay off I don't care for friman one but but moss needs to watch for a bit and get his head right I wish it was September so we could see the first baseman from AA. That leads the league in bombs

 

[hadowajp]

*day off

 

[hadowajp]

I really think this lineup is disrespectful to the braves and what Melvin thinks of them

*can't wait until Atl moves to Cobb county so when I go back home I can take a taxi to and from the stadium

 

[GreenNGold89]

Well that's game with this lineup.

 

[bronconation24]

What pathetic effort this game is

 

[hadowajp]

Damn shame
