  1. If Cole comes back and everyone is healthy I hope it’s Stoman who loses his rotation spot. Because it would result in hilarity.
  2. We need to start a grassroots movement to convince Shapiro to flex Rogers muscle with a poaching of Matt Arnold
  3. Jose Ramirez just homered on the 12th pitch of his AB against Ober. Already at 11 HR and 40 RBI.
  4. Would be one thing if they were like +10 in run differential and had just had an uncharacteristic amount of pen meltdowns or something. But this team is getting their asses handed to them. Springer looks cooked, and I have no idea what Bo is even doing out there. And their GM is out there talking about how they're getting deep into counts.
  5. I'm not sure team not panicking can have anyone left after hearing Ross talk impotently about how they're encouraged because they're working deep counts and putting stress on pitchers. I appreciate unbridled fan optimism, but this is an unadulterated clusterf***.
  6. 6 games under 0.500 and -49. It's over.
  7. WTF that Voltaren commercial. Are there a lot of fans who feel like Hazel Mae is a part of their family?
  8. He just hit his 11th - an absolute nuke. Hes going to get paid so much money.
  9. RA - "We're seeing really positive signs with the offense" Reporter - "What are those signs?" RA - "We're getting into really good counts. We're working starting pitchers better. We have been, over the last month, getting into really good hitter's counts and working starting pitchers hard" Please get this f***ing guy off my TV
  10. The problem here is pretty clearly deeper than the decisions made last offseason (Shatkins is 100% right that this wasn't fixable with a few offseason moves). It's also deeper than a choice to value run prevention. The team has to identify why almost nobody in the org is playing to their abilities, and why they've been a bottom of the barrel team when it comes to acquiring young talent and then developing that talent into quality major leaguers. The only solution here is poaching someone from an org that does things properly and giving them the autonomy to overhaul the baseball ops side of the organization however they see fit. Atkins will probably learn from his failures here, go work for the Dodgers for a couple of years, go to St. Louis mid-rebuild, spare no expense on cutting edge nerds, and turn them into a dynasty.
  11. It remains absurd that Springer gets the most PA of anyone on the team
  12. I don't even know if he's interested in keeping the job, but he can probably buy himself another 5 years by firing Atkins, saying that there's been a failure of development here, then poaching Matt Arnold or something and giving him complete autonomy over baseball ops. That would be fine.
  13. I realize that everyone is angry and the knives are out. But there's absolutely a scenario where Shapiro is retained and this team thrives. You don't need to replace the President to fix the development issues on the baseball ops side.
  14. Well, no. But Atkins will absolutely fire Schneider as a scapegoat on his way down.
  15. 6 perfect innings from an absolute gas can This is the kind of game that gets a manager fired
  16. Poor Bassitt, having to pitch in front of this fantastic bunch of losers
  17. Holy s***, having 0 baserunners through 4 against Tyler Alexander might be the most humiliating part of a humiliating season
  18. Old baseball is wild. This guy was a high school track star that the A's owner signed right to the MLB team with no baseball experience. He even sucked at baserunning because he had no experience at all with it.
  19. Also, look at this Fangrapsh page: https://www.fangraphs.com/players/herb-washington/1013656/stats?position=DH
  20. Just finished reading Jason Turbow's book about the 1970s A's. Really, really good read. It's insane how dysfunctional the entire team was, and the owner was a lunatic.
  21. Not true, you were banned for a day once. I think I banned like half the forum that day.
  22. Got him on the hand
