A's fan/bleacher bum, Cal student in that order.

#Athletics in Vegas Game 1 was farcical. Routine fly balls soaring over the the fence. Routine ground balls bouncing over infielders' heads. 29 runs. Pitchers kicking around the dirt on a subpar mound in frustration. Crowd full of #Brewers fans. The antithesis of the #Oakland era

Anyone else see Carson Cooper clearly push Karaban into the back leading to that crucial moving screen/block violation on UConn? That's an old soccer forward trick: push the defender into their own goalkeeper

[Emilinho @emilbark]

May the "Let's go Oakland!" chants continue follow the A's wherever they play. Still hoping that somehow, someway LV falls through and the coliseum will rock once again

Yes the @Athletics AAA West Sacramento stadium was rated as "league-average" for offense. But let's not forget this is a league with stadiums in Reno (4500 ft), Las Vegas (3000 ft), SLC (4200 ft), El Paso (3900 ft) and Albuquerque (5100 ft). So average skews hitter-friendly

This @Athletics Severino contract is all about appearance. Why else go exactly $1 million total over the previous high contract, pick a number that is not divisible by 3 and announce it the same day as the funding approval? A's overpaid for a press release. Smells like #Fisher

[Uprooted @uprootedoakland]

What sets the Oakland Coliseum apart from everywhere else according to Brent Rooker?

"There's no frills."

"A lot of stadiums...have become less about the actual baseball game and more about an entertainment product."

https://t.co/vrR0JxyF1V Over? Nothing is over until we say it is... 2010s A's fans out there know what I'm talking about. #Oakland forever. Time for John Fisher to lose one in that high coliseum sky and sell the team

As someone who, after 32 years, will be losing my job when the final out is made this coming Thursday in Oakland, I can't think of any better way to say this:

Wow another incredible A's article from @JohnSheaHey and The Chronicle.

This quote Wally Haas (son of the late Walter A. Haas) explains everything and how we got here.

Must read: https://t.co/E0mMLHZNEp

He's only 25 but does Vladdy Jr (103) have a chance to challenge Pujols all-time GIDP record of 426? Or will he be chasing Manny Machado (203 at 32 yo)?

[Emilinho @emilbark]

@CaseyPrattABC7 @JohnSheaHey @MLBPA Anyway that #MLB could mandate that some/all #Athletics revenue sharing goes directly to pay Coliseum rent next year? Seems easier than remodeling Sutter Health Park or building a whole schedule of alternating 7 game home stands...

[Emilinho @emilbark]

Rooker making an all-star snub statement by hitting over 900 ft of homer in the span of about 30 min. One of those rare guys who can go deep in any park under any conditions

[Mike Selleck @MikeSelleck]

Sean Newcomb is the first pitcher in Athletics history to be credited with a win without facing a batter

[Emilinho @emilbark]

Three former Pac-12 players in the starting 5 for the 2023-2024 NBA Champs. Conference of Champions, somewhere Bill Walton is smiling broadly. #Jaylen #Derrick #Jrue

[Emilinho @emilbark]

The Twins with Lewis, Correa and Buxton healthy... wow

[Emilinho @emilbark]

Hot takes from #Athletics #Mariners Kelenic loose, quick, low-hands busy-hands/leg lift swing with feast or famine approach looking like Josh Hamilton. Lucas Erceg power sinker reminiscent of Blake Treinen...

[Emilinho @emilbark]

@CaseyPrattABC7 Thank you Casey for always engaging with the fans! Unlike @Athletics, Dave Kaval and their blocked replies

[Emilinho @emilbark]

Corey Seager is about to sneakily win the AL batting title after hiding off the leaderboard all year due to insufficient PAs

[Emilinho @emilbark]

Tyler Wade taking his time on that Duvall grounder in the hole is an absolute backbreaker. All the momentum back to Boston in one make-able play #Athletics
