Walk Off Walk!  Not sure what the As are mad about. 

Their mad about previous at bats. Ump did miss a few for them. Oh well fuck them

Not even close to a strike.

[kevwun 15,936]

Altuve had 3 infield hits and the game winning walk off walk.  I bet that stat line hasn't been done very often.

What a win! Sweepsweepsweeepsweep. 

[henrygandorf 29,197]

melvin/a's fans/treinen have one pitch they can rightly bitch about.  the pitch before springer struck out.

stfu about the rest.

[Rimbo 26,158]

[Fudge Nuggets 19,228]

That was probably the most calm I’ve ever been in a potential walk off situation. Great work guys. 

[Jshep34 2,321]

Way to claw back and win. Great game. Team shep had a 3-0 weekend.

And that pitch doesn't matter because Springer struck out on the very next one.  They're just looking for a reason to be pissed.

Being lost at the plate implies more than one bad ab against a tough closer but sure

The A's take their we're scrappy, a chip on the shoulder act a bit too far sometimes.

A’s and Mariners will be tough all season,

Which one of you just called in to 790 to say you thought Trienen was trying to intentionally hit Altuve

They could also bitch about not getting Reddick and Diaz out to start the inning

 

Oh wait,  that's also on treininenen? Nah, never mind then.

4 HR in 24 hours. Is that good? 

[tx 3 putt 77,561]

alvarez and fisher are on fire.

at what point do you move prospects for younger prospects ?  we held on the reed for too long and will most likely not get anything out of him.

As soon as you know for certain Ted is going to workout?

I’m sure they did all they could to move Reed when they could... but pretty sure every other team figured out he’s an AAAA player that can’t hit offspeed the same time we did

[henrygandorf 29,197]

we unloaded jd davis - he certainly qualifies.

we have a lot of talent.  as some of it gets older, we may just part ways.  they're not all tradeable as they're no longer really "prospects".

[tx 3 putt 77,561]

off the top of my head - davis / Velasquez / moran / lyles / musgrove / Foltynewicz

I hate seeing talent traded away, but if guys are blocked from moving up not much else you can do

I think the best defense is:. No, she doesn't wear panties. 

[kevwun 15,936]

They are not going to unload Alvarez.  He is probably the answer to the dh hole.  He and Fisher are not in the same category.

Edited April 8, 2019 by kevwun

[formermav43 4,606]

I assumed he wasn’t talking about Alvarez in moving prospects for younger ones, since he’s only 21.

Fisher, Reed, White, Kemp, Stubbs, and Straw are probably in this boat. They could probably be on 25 man rosters (in White and Kemp's case probably get more ABs) in other organizations, none are young and considered prospects anymore.
