Fuck Joe Espada, benching Loperfido for Singleton/McCormick. This is the same as Dusty not playing Diaz. Just fucking no clue.

Abreu grounds out to 3rd after a full count in his 2nd AB.

Still can't believe some of you guys think that Crane/Dusty vetoing him for Contreras was a good move considering we flipped Wilyer Abreu for 108 Vazquez PAs.

Who thinks that?  Also t was blocked because of the maldonado fetish.  Contreras wouldn't have played any more than Vazquez did.  We're as dumb as the Matheney Cardinals now and would have had the same issues with his "intangibles"

[WBT 20725]

If the Twins hang on, the Ms and Rangers will have both lost 2 games since we last played

Yea he strikes out more than I'd like but when he doesn't he gets hits. He should be in the lineup pretty much every day. 

[Scraps 13593]

At least Abreu isn’t this bad …..
 

Thats like your opinion man

He would be worse if the plug wasn't pulled....errr temporarily disconnected

I still like Chas's upside more.  And he's actually done it the last 2 years.

Loperfido is smoke and mirrors unless he drastically cuts the k rate.

The tipping point between the two is that Benintendi has two additional years under contract. 

[Scraps 13593]

Dude

[Honeysucklerose 996]

Awesome! Gonna be the bad news bears tonight

[Honeysucklerose 996]

Now pena is going to be pressing all night to make up for that crap

[WBT 20725]

Per Sparks, that's the first time the A's have scored first in 17 games.  So we got that going for us.

[Scraps 13593]

Per TK too....3 times

[tx 3 putt 77718]

Need to rack up W’s before Abreu comes back 

[tx 3 putt 77718]

We’re giving off no hitter vibes 

[tx 3 putt 77718]

🥺🥺🥺🥺😭😭😭

 

José Urquidy left his minor-league rehab start with right forearm discomfort, according to the Astros.

After 2 innings against a guy who's 1-8 with a 5 ERA?  I'll for sure give you credit for calling your shot if it happens 

[tx 3 putt 77718]

Save that ball

[Scraps 13593]

Not to mention how many games have we had this season where we dont get a hit until like the 4th inning lol?

Bregman with a hit ???

[Scraps 13593]

Pena steal 2nd 

[Scraps 13593]

Boom hopefully

[tx 3 putt 77718]

Jake the Rake !!!!!!

[UTexasFight 9579]

Keep

starting

Jake

[WBT 20725]

Rake farm!!!

[Macklemore 2879]

[UTexasFight 9579]

Frustrating he’s had to have a month like this to get the starts …Espada said he was going to get in spring training 

[Scraps 13593]

Sad when Meyers should be where Bregman is in the lineup lol

[tx 3 putt 77718]

Jake is doing good in the bottom 3rd, let him be 

[WBT 20725]

Stripling should get one more start before the end of the month.  He could have 10 losses before the end of May.

[Scraps 13593]

Nice call helobious of Houston

This has to be among the fastest I’ve ever seen us bat around 

[UTexasFight 9579]

Abreu 0-3 with a a BB, 2 ground outs and K (looking)

[Wulaw Horn 19157]

Remember for a couple years how I’ve said Jake was possibly good and you meanie heads made fun of me?  
I think it’s happening. 
RIP Urquidy. Will always enjoy and appreciate the 2 WS wins. Vaya con dios.

I think he would have to have like 87 hits in his next 50 AB’s for me to even consider calling him back up. 

[Dutchrudder 11156]

Oops, at least it was just a solo.

[Dutchrudder 11156]

Fun fact: every team in the AL West currently has a negative run differential! 

If results hold, the Astros will be the only team in the division to win today. 

[Snake Diggity 4628]

Jake Meyers gonna fuck around and make the All-Star team.

[tx 3 putt 77718]

Good gamer for singelton 

[UTexasFight 9579]

Whoaaa 

some real defense out of our left fielder!

[tx 3 putt 77718]

GreAt catch Chas 

[Scraps 13593]

This whole TK story needs to be fact checked
