too much pregame salsa 

[runthebone 8131]

Just give him second and get the hitters

[runthebone 8131]

Supposed stupid fucking defensive genius Maldonado shouldn't throw there

[tx 3 putt 77921]

Ruiz is fast 

[Wulaw Horn 19235]

Ducking Maldonado handing them the game on. A platter. Fat fuck is worthless. 
Maldonado- if Dusty wants to play the which catcher wins games I’d be happy to count them up for each. 

[tx 3 putt 77921]

Pena fucked that one up 

[HtownHorn 14916]

Another shitty throw from Maldonado.

Ruiz going to steal 100 bases this season.

[henrygandorf 29199]

shitty throw and pena needs to stop worrying about the tag when the runner is already safe.

this is embarrassing today.

in case you aren't watching the coverage, oakland has not allowed under 4 runs in a road game this season.

He'll get him next time!

In happier news- my dad wanted to go Tomsn astros game. My daughter wanted to go for her birthday. I combined them both. Dad belted out the national anthem and then cried afterwards. He’s had a tbi and dementia is coming hard for him (he asked me if Charlie Finley still owned the A’s on the way down to the game) but he’s happy to be at a game today. Might be my last with him while he’s still sort of him most of the time. 
 

 

[runthebone 8131]

My God, he hits fucking bombs against the A's.

 

 

 

 

Should have walked him.

[WBT 20735]

Berkman's May 2008 streak they just talked about on the broadcast coming back from commercial is the hottest I've ever seen anyone.

[tx 3 putt 77921]

Yordan !!!!

[WBT 20735]

Hammerin' Yordan!!!

Last inning they were talking about how Yordan was 3 for 3 with 3 HRs against Adrian Martinez.  Good thing they went to the lefty instead.

[Mitch Hedberg 2090]

Two man team. We’re just lucky they both have stayed healthy and are pretty consistent. All praise Yordan and Tuck.

JFC

They have got to move him out of the four spot.

I was told Abreu was going to break out against the A's?

[HtownHorn 14916]

Could you imagine this team with Berkman?  Good luck fuckers!

[Mitch Hedberg 2090]

Someday I want us to have a right handed Yordan. Flick the bat and put it in the Crawford boxes even when they hit it wrong. 
Let’s win this thing now!

[henrygandorf 29199]

who sits in the dugout and is like, "well, yordan is coming up so let's get a lefty warm"?

a righty would probably disarm him at this point.

[David Dennison 19117]

I like winning.

[tx 3 putt 77921]

Hell yes !

[Limp Brisket 546]

It’s a good day.

[tx 3 putt 77921]

Sears pitched damn good after the 1st, solid W today 

home stand sweep in play tomorrow !

[Mitch Hedberg 2090]

Wasn’t sure we had 6+ winning streaks in this team this year. Pitching is great, just enough hits. Hope it holds up until we hit better or get help at the plate. Whichever comes first.

Abreu waking up ???

😂😂😂😂

[henrygandorf 29199]

the optimist in me says we're winning games with a black hole at cleanup.  think if he just decides to be a .265 hitter with 8-12 homers and 80 rbi (pace) instead of the worst qualified hitter in mlb.

Don’t forget the three rookie starters

I think we should just have our starters throw 125 pitches each game. 

[patrickdrinksbeer 795]

bob grossman has 26 RBI for the rangers this year in 142 AB.

jose abreu has 17 RBI for the astros this year in 170 AB.

bob grossman is on a 1 year, $2million deal.

[runthebone 8131]

Any time the other team's manager puts in a left handed relief pitcher to face Alvarez, I pretty much assume that the game is over.

[tx 3 putt 77921]

Who just called into the post game show talking about trading Altuve ???

The Crawford Boxes help out lefties more than righties. No I don't have data but it makes sense. 

[Scraps 13598]

Last i checked there is still a game left so when he hits 3 homers tomorrow you can suck it!

call me crazy, leave him at #4 until he wakes up or we hit a losing streak 

[UTexasFight 9603]

I believe Dusty said that’s all he can do. I mean I get it. Sink or swim kid. The current is only gonna get stronger though. That head is barely above water. Hard to believe. Can they make him take a physical? Get his eyes checked? The cliff he fell off of is pretty high and steep.

Nope. I love Altuve. I’m also the one that wants to keep the core. Wanted to keep Springer. Wanted to keep Correa. Want to keep Bregman and Altuve. Want him to offer Tucker 10/300.
