Road sweep

Let's win the series against Seattle and get on a roll.

 

[Johnny_Cakes]

Should I just change the channel now that Seattle has gotten ahead? Felix is just too good

 

[Johnny_Cakes]

errors, man.

 

[jumpmanfromdabay]

Callaspo by end of the season will be playing every day

 

[Johnny_Cakes]

Yeesh. Hopefully they score most of their runs this series tonight. Leaving with a series win was what I was hoping for this whole time.

 

[Johnny_Cakes]

Ken_Rosenthal: #Athletics have designated OF Sam Fuld for assignment.

he won't be coming back.

 

[GreenNGold89]

Are u ******* serious?! Wtf?!?!?

[GreenNGold89]

I am in absolute shock they cut Fuld. How is that even possible? Send reddick down or cut that piece of **** Barton. Stupid.

 

[Johnny_Cakes]

Barton and Reddick are more valuable defensively than Fuld, plus his bat isn't valued.

 

[GreenNGold89]

How is Barton valuable defensively? I don't understand why people think he is anything above average at first. How much better is Barton than moss at first? I'd say it is pretty slim.

 

[Johnny_Cakes]

It has to do with how Melvin configures the lineup, you know how he moves everyone around to get people playing time. How much PT was Fuld going to get as the fifth outfielder?

 

[jumpmanfromdabay]

Donaldson unloaded on that 1

 

[Johnny_Cakes]

Donaldson unloaded on that 1

Nooo I missed it

 

[Johnny_Cakes]

Am I the only one who thinks he could have gone home on that play??

 

[GreenNGold89]

IMO they should have sent reddick down and held on to Fuld. He has played amazing and deserved a shot to stay on the roster. I also see no reason to keep Barton on this roster. Let moss play everyday and callaspo can backup at first.

And yes I think josh should have gone home
With that play.

 

[jumpmanfromdabay]

Wow. Can't believe he didn't run it out

 

[GreenNGold89]

Base running has been pretty bad this year so far....

 

[GreenNGold89]

Btw I don't like this new rule where the player has to hold onto the ball during the transfer

 

[dland24]

Sonny Gray is the goods.

 

[DB Cooper]

Reddicks days have got to be numbered. Dude is just...

 

[GreenNGold89]

Kazmir pitching amazing.

Let's get some runs.

 

[Johnny_Cakes]

Kazmir pitching amazing.

Let's get some runs.

Kazmir now hurt. Got approached by Melvin and head trainer in the dugout. Abad coming out to pitch.

 

[GreenNGold89]

Forearm issues? Hope it's nothing serious.

 

[Johnny_Cakes]

Forearm issues? Hope it's nothing serious.

You would think so, since he started showing some discomfort on the mound in the third inning and continued to deal well after that. We'll see, skip him in the rotation if need be, but we need him.
