4.1 - Easter Funday

[SemperFidelisSox]

Billy Beane should write another book about this team.

Voices from Chernobyl

 

[Rovin Romine]

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.

They had 3 guys with an OPS+ of 120 or over last year.

 

[Kliq]

The A's are just depressing man. This series is going to be a tough watch with this kind of atmosphere, like COVID baseball.

 

[joe dokes]

This background silence sounds like an NPR interview taking place in Alastair Cook's parlor.

 

[BornToRun]

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

Even if he never regains his old form, his defense makes him valuable if he can hover around a .700-750 OPS

 

[brandonchristensen]

They had 3 guys with an OPS+ of 120 or over last year.

They've always had talent on their roster.

 

[pokey_reese]

This team is fun. I don't care what people say, Bloom assembled a fun team, even if he isn't around to see it come to fruition.

 

[Rovin Romine]

O'neill is this years Duvall.

Impossibly hot. Will fart too hard and pull something in his back and then return in September and suck.

Let's treasure every pre-fart inning then.

 

[ShaneTrot]

This is just bad for the sport. Drawing 4000 fans is pathetic. How do they know how much food to have for a game? What local business wants to sponsor this A’S team?

 

[Scoops Bolling]

This A's team is an embarassment to MLB.

 

[brandonchristensen]

Jesus.

ASTOWN

 

[Buster Olney the Lonely]

Four errors. Wow.

OH MY GOD

 

[patinorange]

Yikes

 

[pokey_reese]

Jokeland

 

[Don Buddin's GS]

A's Town!

 

[Rovin Romine]

Scrunchy Valdez with some heads-up running there.

 

[joe dokes]

Yakety sax for the other guys. Thats a nice change.

 

[absintheofmalaise]

Four errors so far. At least they're spreading them around.

 

[MFYankees]

A's town 3 ...

 

[Rovin Romine]

Let's stay in the shoes there Rafaela. . .

 

[brandonchristensen]

Two SF's for Ceddanne.

 

[Moviegoer]

This A's team would struggle to beat Greenville.

 

[DeadlySplitter]

Excited about two no-doubt sac flies for Rafaela

 

[Sprowl]

Everything about the A's -- the subdued Oakland announcers, the baffled expressions on the players, the miserable fans -- bespeaks hopelessness.

 

[E5 Yaz]

A's town 3 ...

4?

 

[pokey_reese]

Rafaela hasn't struck out tonight. If you are Boyle, that should be a red flag.

 

[nvalvo]

That slider is pretty nasty.

 

[brandonchristensen]

Duran is a stud.

 

[joe dokes]

What local business wants to sponsor this A’S team?

Goodwill.

 

[SemperFidelisSox]

The Nature Boy Jarren Duran.

 

[pokey_reese]

Duran making up for lost time tonight!

 

[Al Zarilla]

Everything about the A's -- the subdued Oakland announcers, the baffled expressions on the players, the miserable fans -- bespeaks hopelessness.

Woman PBP announcer changes things up some though.

 

[BornToRun]

This game is like drowning a bug in the toilet bowl.

 

[CR67dream]

Duran three hits in three innings.

Boyle at 75 pitches in 2 2/3.

 

[Al Zarilla]

Goodwill.

Dollar Tree I was thinking of.

 

[E5 Yaz]

Everything about the A's -- the subdued Oakland announcers, the baffled expressions on the players, the miserable fans -- bespeaks hopelessness.

What was the use of our having come to Oakland?
It was not natural to have come there
Yes, write about it if I like, or anything if I like
but not play there, for there is no there there

 

[BornToRun]

Love Raffy working the walks.

 

[nvalvo]

Let’s get Houck through six and hand this thing to Lamar Alexander or whatever that dude’s name is.

 

[Al Zarilla]

I hope they check Mark Kotsay for sharp objects every inning.

I have been to Rays getaway games on Thursdays - and they did not have 5,000 in attendance. They sold maybe 9K, but I once sat and counted every fan in the outfield seats.

 

[DeadlySplitter]

*snorts* 5 errors in 3 innings

 

[E5 Yaz]

Boyle at 75 pitches in 2 2/3.

On a pace for ... 3x2 plus 3x2/3 ... carry the 1 ... a metric shit-ton

Holy shit this is hard to watch.
