The A’s could have Dodger Stadium instead they’re all-in for The Great American Ballpark.

@DEvanAltman Shaw filling in for Nico and hitting enough to stay is a bast case scenario.

[Zen Bobrist @Coastalworker79]

@DALLASBRADEN209 Seems pretty crazy to think Cole gets MORE than $144 / 4 on the open market right?

[Zen Bobrist @Coastalworker79]

@BleacherNation Just a bad look when both players give up on a play, good chance Mookie still beats this out with Cole covering.

@melissalockard Comments turned off LOL.

@Marc_Normandin @RFWill149 @baseballpro This is the Cubs 2025 schedule (they are opening vs. the A’s.) Took me a minute to understand what team was “ATH.”

[Brent Rooker @Brent_Rooker25]

I have nothing additive to tweet about that at bat besides that its exactly why someone is gonna hand him a blank check this winter. The takes, the foul balls to stay alive, the barreling a 95 mph 4 seam up in the zone. All of it. As good as it gets.

@brendan_cubs Must be the most choked up anyone has ever been to hit a HR.

[Zen Bobrist @Coastalworker79]

@DEvanAltman I loved them.

[Frank Thomas @TheBigHurt_35]

I would like to say Thank You to the Oakland A’s fans! 2006 was a magical year and the fans were unreal and accepting of me. You really helped me revitalized my career and I will be forever grateful! Mark Kotsay was right you guys are amazing fans! #ThankYouOakland

It's weird to me that I find this as emotional as I do. I'm not from Oakland at all. Teams move. But man, it just feels like the fans and city were done so dirty and there's so much amazing history being thrown in the trash.

This account will not follow the A’s away from Oakland, which brings it to something of a conclusion (other than perhaps intermittent ballers content).

Always Remember us this way 💚💛

Sole groundskeeper meticulously manicuring the mound that no one will ever pitch off of again got me 😢

[Zen Bobrist @Coastalworker79]

@chifanpatt2 He’s a useful player (I guess) the fact that he’s gotten 1200 ABs for the Cubs is an indictment of Jed’s regime.

[Zen Bobrist @Coastalworker79]

@FullCountTommy Hire Joe Maddon

[Zen Bobrist @Coastalworker79]

@IvyFutures The problem with the “he hit like Soto for this 6 week period” argument is that’s not how we measure stats. If you’re comparing someone’s peak to another players 162 game average you’re being dishonest. Compare both guys best 6 weeks (and worst) and we’ll see.

[Zen Bobrist @Coastalworker79]

@Michael_Cerami Cubs seem to have a team full of guys that are capable of playing at star levels and also capable of disappearing for months at a time. It’s both encouraging and maddening.

[Zen Bobrist @Coastalworker79]

@chifanpatt2 That’s their modus. Gonna be good next year.

[Zen Bobrist @Coastalworker79]

@jvb43 Keeping the kids out of school, going to the tailgate. If anyone has extra tickets let me know.

[Zen Bobrist @Coastalworker79]

@CHGO_Cubs Dude is going to shove for the Padres next year.

[Zen Bobrist @Coastalworker79]

@SonRanto You and me the only ones who think this.
