I've had enough of this garbo A's team that draws 3,000 to get swept by seattle then plays us like the World Series with 30k+ in attendance. Lets drop kick them to Vegas.
I just want to see the Kick Ass Offense again. Not 8 guys sitting around waiting on a 9th to hit a bomb.
So they have Mon, Tue & Wed off next week and Dusty trots this lineup out when they haven't clinched home field against the White Sox yet.
With nothing to play for, Oakland's lineup is pretty trash. They'll probably do this all weekend. Stros still get it done w/ their hangover lineups. Not worried at all about not getting home field vs CWS 1. Josh Harrison 3B .280 2. Starling Marte CF .308 3. Matt Olson 1B .272 L 4. Chad Pinder RF .243 R 5. Mark Canha LF .234 R 6. Yan Gomes C .257 R 7. Khris Davis DH .202 R 8. Tony Kemp 2B .266 L 9. Pete Kozma SS .000 R
This the BENCH: BENCH 2B R ALTUVE, Jose 346 484 125 1B R GURRIEL, Yuli 382 455 129 RF L TUCKER, Kyle 356 547 143 DH L BRANTLEY, Michael 364 436 119 C R MALDENADO, Martin 274 302 59 They're ALL Starters FIVE OF THEM. We don't need no stinkin' two seed.
This is stupid. Roll out your best behind Framber, lock up the two seed and then play the kids. You don’t know what kind of mess you’re gonna get from odorizzi and you don’t want to leave it to the last day. This is flat out idiotic.
Maybe they should've clinched earlier and this wouldn't be an issue for fans. If they want to trot the good lineup out tmrw, do it. I'm personally not worried, team is good enough to win.
