I am a pretty serious baseball fan, and until they showed the lineup card I don't think I could have named one of the starters for the As off-hand. Good lord.
I couldn't come up with any of them, but was reminded of a couple names I heard last year when they were going over the lineups. I will immediately forget them all again once the series is over.

Like a team of players who start popping up in a video game franchise mode after you’ve played 20 seasons and the real players are all gone.

Lowkey very encouraging AB by Raffy. Ultimately didn’t try to do too much and didn’t get himself out again on the same pitch.

Story, otoh, the same old.

Why is anyone staying their bleacher seats when the place is this empty? Buy your ticket, but fuck it, move up after an inning. Why would anyone care?

Because if you sit too close and get hit in the head by a ball there’s not anyone within a quarter mile to help you.

I’m not worried about Story after 25 PA or whatever. He showed he was healthy in Spring Training; he’ll get it together.

It would suck to play for the A's and know the fans don't care, know the owners don't care, and know you're going to stand around and lose every night.

I think Bailey, Varitek, or Cora, or all of the above are telling the Red Sox pitchers to throw strikes to the A’s. No fucking around against this team.
