Whitley probably should be the next casualty of the 40 man. His has been a wasted spot for 2 1/2 years with no hope in sight.

Dear Jose*,

https://ehgone.acgov.org/inspection/results/

 

* Altuve, obviously.  Jose Abreu can get dysentery as far as I'm concerned

[kevwun 15624]

Pena gets an off day after an off day.

[Rockethorn1978 6061]

Here to hoping our offense can score more than 0 tonight!

[WBT 20415]

Altuve is going to pull ahead of Abreu with a leadoff jack tonight.

And is no one going to talk about Abreu dropping to 6th?

You’d think after almost 50 games JA would have lucked into 1 homer.

@Wulaw Horn mentioned it in his latest podcast episode (which is awesome by the way) - it is really difficult to actually be at -1.0 fWAR this early in the season. But our big FA signing has been able to defy the odds and pull it off.

[David Dennison 18652]

Sixth is progress.

[Wulaw Horn 18974]

Julks is playing over Chas I’m sure for some well thought out and valid reasons. 
 

[tx 3 putt 76315]

Cy Young outing incoming ...

J. Kaprielian - OAK
(0-4, 8.68)
 

[runthebone 7932]

Out here for bp, Abreu is knocking the ball all the way to the warning track.

[runthebone 7932]

Ok, he just hit two out.  Problem fixed as long as Oakland's starter throws 85.

[runthebone 7932]

Reggie is in the house

Abreu didn't sign for any kids, hopefully he is going back to the clubhouse to take his HGH.

Let's go !!!

[cabowabo 4451]

So even the drum bangers, etc. have stopped going to A's games?

Thank God.

[WBT 20415]

Maldy catching Brown again huh.  At least there was no E2 on Ruiz's first steal of the night.

Anyone rooting for an Abreu K to stay out of the DP?

He should be bunting here but since he won't, sure why not?

[We’reTexas 1468]

Thought it would be easy to BART to the game. Train 1: Broke down. Train 2: Richard Ramirez doppelgänger walks on holding a pistol in his pants and half the train flees. Train 3: Uber. 
 

I hate Oakland.

[tx 3 putt 76315]

[Wulaw Horn 18974]

Hits it right to the cutout little left and it’s a HR. Ha. 
that’s how it be when you are going bad. 

[WBT 20415]

Productive out!

Yuli is hitting over 300 for the Marlins... Could have had him for 1/10th the cost of Abreu 😕

Woot Woot !

[WBT 20415]

Bases loaded ab still found him in the 6 spot

[HtownHorn 14469]

Completely unplayable.

[Mitch Hedberg 2090]

10-42. Seems legit

[Gut Wagon 8052]

Oakland's incompetence trumps Abreu's. Which is no small feat. 

[tx 3 putt 76315]

Julks !!!

[HtownHorn 14469]

Can Julks play 1B? He's played 3B in the minors.

[tx 3 putt 76315]

Julks hitting the rib-eye buffet tonight  !

 

[billfromlaketravis 11358]

Julks!

I’ll let y’all theorize on why Dusty doesn’t play him.
