@klseaboldt it’s the same movie year after year. Elite starting pitching, middling bullpen (sometimes abysmal), and such wide valleys for the offense.
At some point you have to shake it up and try something new.
@theABinKC good news is we’re only ~10 weeks from them winning a couple games in a row and making silly shirts to wear so down the stretch run they at least match while fading out of contention
@bturner23 Pitching too: year after year watching an elite starting rotation hand games over to an abysmal bullpen is getting old and I want to see Q (JJ really) make some kind of adjustment. Tired of watching the same season.
I think Lange is intriguing to develop as a high lev guy
@MJ_Melendezz the starters being as good as the bullpen is bad makes for a shitty movie to watch night after night.
I have hopes for Lange to develop into high leverage guy, but not a lot of optimism about many of these relievers.
Estevez could rebound still, but still plenty of ?s
The Oakland A’s were killed by greed. Do not allow the people responsible for this to spin it any other way. John Fisher did not have to move this team. Major League Baseball and its owners did not need to be complicit in it. This was a choice. A wrong one. History will sneer.
“John, you’re a serial penny pincher, you destroyed your family’s great name and legacy because of your cheapness…I can go call 3 billionaires right now that will buy the team!” -@LarryBeilABC7
A’s are pushing the boundary between sadness and anger. We say feel your anger today but don’t let it and the A’s get the best of you tomorrow or any of the remaining 3 games. #FJF
