They had 3 guys with an OPS+ of 120 or over last year.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.
Even if he never regains his old form, his defense makes him valuable if he can hover around a .700-750 OPSI’m not worried about Story after 25 PA or whatever. He showed he was healthy in Spring Training; he’ll get it together.

Let's treasure every pre-fart inning then.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.

It was not natural to have come there

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.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?
On a pace for ... 3x2 plus 3x2/3 ... carry the 1 ... a metric shit-tonBoyle at 75 pitches in 2 2/3.
