The A's have proven they can hit against anyone and they don't lose at home. I think they are over 21 games over .500 since the all-star break and peaking at the right time. They will go a long way if their starting pitching can hold up.
It will be a five game series A's vs Sox.
.
I wouldn't be surprised if the A's beat the Yankees and give the Red Sox a good run. The A's have the offense and essentially three closers though innings 7 - 9.
The A's starting rotation is injured, but they can win this series if they get to the Red Sox bullpen.
Oaxaca is fun. I think three nights would be good, four nights top.
Go to the markets, drink mezcal, and eat the amazing food. There are plenty of bars and restaurants in the area.
Side trips not far away (no Uber)
- Monte Alban ruins
- Visit a mezcal distillery. You can schedule a tour. A group of five of us hired a van driver to drive us around for a day trip to Ocotlán de Morelos and then hit up Mezcal El Rey de Matatlán on the way back. Friday is the day to be in Ocotlán because of the market.
- Hierve el Agua
- The Monastery of Santiago Apóstol in Cuilapan de Guerrero
I have a Facebook friend that says "I have it on good authority that the Beto sign stealer is, in fact, Heidi Cruz"
There is also this pic. Could be photoshopped for all I know.
Because of the pitching. The offense has been average since the all-star break. Like someone said above. They could hit in the playoffs, or just be abysmal. We shall see.
Correa will be back his normal numbers or better next year. I called Bregman would be a MVP candidate this year or next when he sucked in April. No one believed me.
It's obvious the Astros won't have the 2017 playoff offense this year. It's going to have to be the pitching that gets them to the world series. Why can it never be both?
He makes no denial that he would have been in jail for months if he was black and had no money. He admits that he is where he is today because he is a privileged white male.
I don't care what the future schedule looks like. All it takes is a sweep from Arizona or Seattle which is possible. Or even Toronto. I have seen teams blow bigger leads.
