Late game sucks!!! I'll only get to catch the first inning before hitting the sack!!

[Gary]

A's sure have an ugly looking lineup.

[Jonn]

First look at the new Yonder Alonzo. Use to be an automatic out now hes destroying Baseballs. He went full Jose Bautista.

[Gary]

Russell Martin is in the lineup. JP Howell is not.

Stop being an old man. Only cucks miss games because they need sleep.

I need to be up at 3:00am to hit the gym! Then off to work. Need sleep!!!

We have an off day this week right? Might be skipping him or just as an emergency if needed

[G-Snarls]

11 PM start here in the Atlantic

[bones10]

Love these 7PM Jays games out here on the west coast, very comfy dont have to rush home after work.

[Daniel Labude]

Sounds like Travis could be back by the end of this series

[John_Havok]

Howell on the DL with shoulder tightness.

 

Can't say thats a bad thing

Somehow I managed to accidentally delete my earlier post! Anyways.. will try to provide a couple of live in-game updates #barrystyles

[SpectralGas]

Another game I have to stomach watching Carrera's attempt at playing baseball. Let's hope the Jays play well in this series, Oakland has been a bad trip more often then not.

[Boxcar]

Gibby should probably move Pillar down soon.

How dare you suggest such a thing in the middle of his breakout season.

You realize Carrera has been smoking the ball over the last week...right?

 

He's a solid role player. Average/subpar defender and decent bat. The hatred is a joke.

Agreed, he's not even that bad. He makes some mental mistakes like throwing it to the wrong base but the guy is a fine bench player and probably our best option right now until Pearce comes back. He's been worth 1.2 WAR in 475 AB's the past two years.

A projected 85 wRC+ below average LF is pretty bad.

[eastcoastjaysfan]

Carrera is basically the main reason we won the WC game last year but gets no credit. Absolutely massive against Texas... gets no credit. He was one of the only guys hitting in the April but gets no credit.

 

Steady bench bat. Sucks he doesn't provide defensive value but oh well. Could be A LOT worse.

Yes let's run out a garbage player because he was good in a small sample size. Seems perfectly reasonable.

I hate his stupid face

[jaysfan2014]

Man, it's so quiet in Oakland.. guessing most fans would rather be next door watching the NBA finals...

[bones10]

nice start

[Spanky99]

Great start... JD's a boss!

[fatcowxlive]
