Good wheels. That throw was on the money. 

[David Dennison 18860]

The rare left field triple.

No

[UTexasFight 9450]

So we getting a perfect game this series? Or going to have to settle for a No-hitter?

[David Dennison 18860]

Please do not fail to score after a lead off triple.

Again.

[WBT 20572]

Well that sucks

[tx 3 putt 76958]

Derp 

[David Dennison 18860]

Holy shit, this offense.

[runthebone 7982]

Fucking wasted leadoff triple.

[Wulaw Horn 19070]

I was afraid that with Oakland averaging 14 fans per game that we would miss out on the drums. Glad to see that didn’t happen. 

[HtownHorn 14682]

All too fucking familiar. No one in this lineup sacrifices for the team over individual stats.

Very faint in person

Living up to its name. Quite offensive. To the point of embarrassment, if not beyond. 

[tx 3 putt 76958]

Crushed 

[Wulaw Horn 19070]

Holy shit. That was about as hard as I’ve seen a ball hit in my life. 

[WBT 20572]

Hammerin Yordan!

114 mph, 469 ft

[billfromlaketravis 11481]

Wow. The outfielder didn’t even move. Just dropped his head. 

[Guest]

Oakland announcers:  "Oh my That is going very far."

469 feet and OVER the suites.

[David Dennison 18860]

Good grief, he is strong.

[runthebone 7982]

Holy shit, the OF didn't even turn around

[UTexasFight 9450]

[elfenix 34241]

Yardon!

[Wulaw Horn 19070]

Up there with maybe Correas HR in Baltimore and Springers in Minnesota. 

[WBT 20572]

Sparky dropped an "ay papi" on that one 

[wood 11225]

Jesus fuck, Yordan. Even for him, that was impressive. Most effortless swing for such massive power that I've ever seen.

[Gut Wagon 8071]

Hit that hard and far should count as more than just one run. 

[Wulaw Horn 19070]

Josh Fields everybody. 
if we sign him to an extension I think that trade could replace Bagwell for Anderson as our all timer. Anderson was at least very good for them down the stretch I believe.

I just can't fathom being able to hit it that far.

[Wishbone 4761]

That could’ve killed somebody. After it went 469. What a blast! As an opposing manager, I think I’d be tempted to walk him every time to not get any of my guys killed. Fuck.

Yep. 338 ERA+ and a 1.08 FIP in 22 IP after the trade. Not sure about the other part. Bagwell was one the best 1B of all time, Alvarez has a ways to go before he reaches that neighborhood.

Yep. And he doesn't even look like he's trying to swing hard at all. It really is amazing. One of the best power swings I've ever seen. Maybe the best. 

And I feel like he's just getting started & will get better & better.

[runthebone 7982]

No bunt?

[Wishbone 4761]

Would they call it an HR if the ball traveled through the fence? Lol!

[Wishbone 4761]

Alright!

[Guest]

Machete.

 

Nice chop!!!

[WBT 20572]

Tuve!!

[billfromlaketravis 11481]

Y’all keep talking shit on Maldy.

Beane is going to fleece the Yankees in a Blackburn trade. T&P. 

[tx 3 putt 76958]

Hell yes !!!

[Wishbone 4761]

It’s on!

[Guest]

Fuck you boo birds.

 

Cheer on His Greatness.

[runthebone 7982]

Boo that, fuckers

[elfenix 34241]

Tuve bombs!

[HtownHorn 14682]

Maldonado didn't believe it when he got to 3rd, and Blackburn was shocked.

[tx 3 putt 76958]

The team is afraid the surly thread is going to dfa them or trade them away !!!!

Agree. Yesterday ended at midnight, thankfully.

At his best Meyers is a 4 OF. Given the many holes in the lineup, he's not what this team needs. They need an AS level bat in CF, because they overestimated the production from Gurriel and Bregman.

It would be awesome to have a 5-tool player in CF but I think because of MMP it's more important to prioritize outfield D; you need range, range and more range, or your team ERA swells by a full run.

Make up for lost O with a platoon-mate for Gurriel or at DH.
