    Not sure if Julks was smart or lucky there, but I'll take it.

    Also it seems like the A's have figured out that if you just spam sliders up and down this lineup, you'll get to 3 outs before anybody can do serious damage.

    Oh I know. He will be the starting C next season (or maybe even in this postseason?) and I'm excited to see it.

    Maybe so, maybe not.

    Can't trust the rectangle but it was on the line.

    Pena seems to feel the need to play the outfield a lot

    I want Seth Martinez to be one of the best relievers in baseball. He signed my World Series ball after Game #2 last year. Need to increase the investment ;)

    I really like Dubon's defense at second.

    If there were about 50% more LH pitcher's he could be an everyday starter.

    Did I say that already.

    Are we that confident the FO/Dusty won’t decide to sign Maldy to a 1 year deal and continue this BS with the catching situation?
