>A'ss
give back hendriks
Reddick's not starting and I can't figure out why.
>that home run last night means 'hall of famer' Jimmy Rollins will be hitting 2nd all year
it could work out, I guess, I still doubt he'll really have much of a resurgence though
Over/under 4 walks for Rodon
I say over.
hello
Oakland's marketing team (or whatever marketing team is running the ad) should really keep "A's legends" and "Shooty Babitt" out of the same sentence.
Sup A's bros. Your fanbase it alright, probably because >your team is like the White Sox West
Here we go! Can we be 3-0 the dream
Probably unlikely. Oh well. Go Rodon and go somehow solving Gray.
We can also celebrate that this'll be the last 9pm game for a good while!
I noticed that the A's found success against the fastball. So Rodon will have to lean on his slider more than usual this game.
>>66642215
>he wasnt here for 2013 and 2014
They were as obnoxious and Giants fans. Last year was a bitch slap to them.
fukn ayyy o.co colliseum looks like a fucken cesspool in tv
>>66642280
Sure wasn't. I only went to /sp/ for bears threads.
>>66642280
as Giants*
Most of them aren't bandwagoners, because they already left.
>>66642215
Except only half as jaded.
2-0 hype
Who's your pick to click?
>Lawrie
>pick one
>>66642288
>fukn ayyy o.co colliseum looks like a fucken cesspool in tv
It's back to its true name of the Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum. Hopefully it will stay that way. The A's say the naming rights are for sale but at this point who will buy?
>>66642288
>o.co
delete this, they dropped their naming rights
>sonny gray
Are you sure he's 18?
>>66641960
Still on that Abreu should be second train?
You know I hate to talk bad about Josavior but he's been reaching for and swinging at garbage. He needs to cut that out and instead hit stuff to drive or just get a solid smash on. I realize before his ability to reach and hit pitches on the fly was what led to a high average and back then pitchers didn't know about leaving him things to drive so they start pitching away from the zone for him watching him chase or use his skills to get a single or whatever.
With Frazier now, he needs to know he can lay off that garbage and focus only on those good hittable pitches. Yesterday's ABs and Ks were terrible for Abreu standards but of course it's only the 2nd game and only the 2nd game he realizes he has real protection behind him. I hope that he'll learn and change that real soon to become the hitter we knew he was or even better.
>>66642357
How about u give me that qt name rights namean
>>66642345
>avila
Padres getting blanked again and twins bout to stay winless.
BTW thanks to MLB prem today I saw Gavin Floyd. Yep him. Pitch relief for the jays.
He had some nasty curves causing swings missed but left some fastballs and cutters too close to the zone and got tagged for 2 hits upon where he was lifted for some other jays pen member who promptly gave up a 2 run homer.
Not as endearing as Buerhle was but hell, I liked Floyd when he was here. I'll watch him drop dat curve every now and then on the Jays.
>>66642400
He's still used to carrying the team when it looks that it's not necessary. I think his plate discipline will improve as the season goes on.
Leadoff walk for naught
>>66642400
I would be more than happy with Abreu hitting 3rd if there were any other competent obp guys on the team besides him and Eaton. Even Abreu isn't that great since he doesn't walk much
damn this team is fucking awful at getting on base
Alright here we go Rodon
Gray shits his pants top of the 4th.
You heard it here first.
TYBDavis
Burns the fastest nigga in the league.
Well, that didnt take long.
imagine prime buehrle games with all these game speed initiatives taking effect.
Looks like it won't be a late one tonight for me...
Yeesh Rodon
>>66642719
games still take longer now senpai
the other team will be as slow as always and if he doesn't go the full game so will the bullpens
batters do more of their shit faggot routines than ever also, even with the supposed rule that they can't step out of the box which was enforced for all of a couple of weeks at the start of last season
Is lowrie our new Raburn? Speaking of Raburn hit the go ahead game winning homer today.
Fat fuck.
Hmm coulda been worse
Well, the night is young. Gotta either solve gray or get to the pen
>>66642624
Literally or figuratively?
>avishit
dogs that fuck fast don't fuck long
I'm gonna miss Hawk :(
>>66642953
>this fag again
Randomly showing up huh? Where were when the Sox were 10 games under .500 last year?
>>66642983
watching the Cubs
they have an off night tonight
>avila
>>66643000
Disgusting
>tfw slowly missing flowers
Kill me
>>66643060
Too bad no one will ever miss you
holy shit anyone else hear real human bean in that car commercial
me on the right
>TURN ON ESPN2!
>>66643088
do you even cuck?
Is Canha elite?
Awww fuck it's gg
Dangit
Meh.
CANHA
>that's a can of corn
Fucking cubans
>leadoff double
Sox confirmed for 0 runs scored this inning.
Jroll!
A run! We'll take it
wow what a terrible arm
Hahaaaha wow
Glad I was wrong.
>that arm
that is one of the worst throws ive ever seen
>tfw you have a noodle arm
I literally could have thrown that to home plate better.
Play small ball like that if it'll get you runs Sox.
>tfw my grandma can throw better than one of the guys on my local MLB team
Kyle Orton arm.
Thread was way more active yesterday. These west cost late starts to blame?
>>66643392
yes
>yfw outfield defense
now if Jacob May can just stark raking in Charlotte he can replace Melky, doesn't look like he brought his roids this season
>>66643392
Seems the beginning of the season novelty wore off already.
>>66643392
I'd say so. As another anon stated, thank goodness for this being the last late start for a while.
>>66643347
>>66643349
>>66643363
I missed it, but let me guess. Khris Davis?
>>66643423
>tfw Melky will never risk his career in baseball and start taking his medicine again
I think he's on his 3rd strike, certain the Sox have asked him to "train harder" in the offseason and he wont do it.
>>66643423
>Melky goes to DH
>Avi sent down
pls make it a reality
>>66643432
It was like a lazy pop fly came out of his glove
>YOU SUCK
>you suck
enough cubanisms
>melky
>avi
I've seen this movie
>>66643392
Pretty much. 9pm is too insane. Especially on a work day.
>>66643512
>the third installment is literally a rehash
Fuck.

Is Carlos Rodon white?
2-0 will literally be the highlight of our season
Kil me please
>>66643559
I think he's Egyptian
>>66643566
Don't worry they'll trade for cargo, then he'll get hurt cause thats what cargo do
>>66643581
>Pilsen

Ventura is looking sharp in his specs.
If only he was actually sharp.
>>66643808
Must think the A's are the local soccer team
>>66643860
They do the "I BELIEVE" chant when vogt's at bat
Need an A's hat on this pepe btw
Davis is about due for a dinger
>yfw Sonny wins the Cyy Oung this year
>a lot of variety out there
This offense tonight
>>66643909
Is that Dallas Braden? He really needs to invest in a few hats.
Lets go Jimmy, how about another dinger
double play incoming
>abredoo
>Melky Cafaggot
Horrid
>melky
kill yourself my man
ugh
Melky is trying to ground out to every infielder before the series is over. He's trying to unlock an achievement
>>66644118
Who is left of the list? The catcher?
>apathetic cowbell guy
>>66644149
>literally just grounded to the catcher
i want a free tshirt
does it come in kevlar
>>66644168
Yeah, I'm zoning out. Fuck.
>>66644149
Just the pitcher is left. I believe in him.
>>66644182
>being afraid of Bridgeport
>>66644212
I'm afraid of Americans
>>66644211
Well lucky for you Gray is an excellent fielder.
>only 2 runs given up through 6
Could be worse I guess.
YOU'RE NOT GONNA WATCH IT
Good job by Rodon.
Typical we get shutdown by Gray.
Jeez.
I only usually get hotdogs at the cell. This year I want to sample a bunch of new food there.
What items should be at the top of my list?
>>66644326
Tator tachos
Loaded tots in a green helm. I'm gonna get one so hard on Sat. Can't wait.
>avi
>lawrie
>avila

>>66644326
The Tater Tot Nachos mite b cool.
>>66644326
It's going to snow tomorrow fml
Is Doolittle going tonight?
>>66644350
Was just checking out their website the other day and the new items all look delicious. Avi one pitch out. So much for his spring training hype carrying over.
Sell the sox reinsdorf... U suxxxx
sigh....
Looks like Gray should get the shits 2 days before every start
>>66644416
>4 walks
'no'
sox just can't hit fampai
>>66644423
trade Sale for the Cubs lineup
[Screams internally]
'hall of fame' defense
I'm nervous senpai. The bullpen is coming soon.
>>66644445
>trade sale from a team with very little chance to win a ws to a team with no chance of winning one
I don't think he'd want to go
Let's be honest. Who didn't see this coming? It's Sonny Gray.
I was already resigned to a loss yesterday.
Really encouraged by Rodon so far though. Shame he'll probably get tagged with the L.
>>66644506
you gonna have a nice little October surprise
get comfy
>>66644506
>all those players who went to the cubs this offseason because they want to win
fucking retards the lot of em
>>66644534
Read it again. He's saying trade sale for the entire lineup. You won't have a chance for the world series if you don't have a lineup.
>>66644534
There's that ottoman humor again. It gets funnier and funnier everytime
>>66644549
no, they don't have a chance because they're the cubs
Fuck yeah Eaton.
Here we go. No more gray. Top of the lineup. Come on boys.
looked out to me real time
>all these grounders to the SS
HE'S OUT
Fuck he's out
Oh lawdy
>BASED SPANKY
The replay officials hate the A's.
Or, constantly blowing challenges is the new market inefficiency
you can't really tell if his toe actually touched the bag
kek
I know a lot of players used to step right in front of the base before replay to save time
>SEMEN
>DEFENSE
pick one

When will this meme die?

>malk

>Lawrie
Gg As. What terrible offense even after Gray. Rodon didn't deserve this.
6 straight outs from grounders to SS
sigh...
Well the first 2 games were fun while they lasted.
>jshitty
God fucking damn it
For fuck sake

>THAT STRIKE CALL

GG As
Fucking hell
Sigh...
Poor Rodon. Freaking hell.
To dour land it is.
gg A's bros good luck this season
Oh well. Can't win them all. GG A's
>Latos tomorrow
You know as dour as it is. I actually would take a split at the Colosseum to start the season. Place is a hell hole for us. No clue how we won there last year.
Put into another perspective, were still a game over. 500... For now...
you suck
