They don't play the A's well. This lineup sucks. Half of our team is injured. Way to go out on a limb and say "we're really starting to miss all these starting bats" No ****
The A’s have one of the worst bullpens ever… Astros with one of the worst late July first place lineups ever…. 12 outs left… something has to give. WHO CAN’T BE ROMANTIC ABOUT BASEBALL?
Our pitchers overachieved first half of the season. our hitters are consistently bad this season to this point. I am afraid it's only matter of time we are losing the first place of AL West.
Guys can't wear distracting things on their jersey or glove or whatever....but that last guy can wear a rainbow of muppet **** all over him?
League probably has a book on Smith now…. Time to adjust. The book on Chas that came out in 2023 is also apparently still very relevent…
I am not even at amateur level of playing baseball, but it appears to me Chas almost never uses the strength of arms when he hits the ball. He only uses his waist.
He's missing the same pitches, could be a different sequence, could be his bat just being tired...could be a lot of things. He'll break out of it next month. Or he won't.
I’m more interested in Bucknor’s scorecard after this game vs. the final result. It will probably be framed as one of those cool “can’t believe we used to ask them to do this with their eyes” nostalgia artifacts when ABS is fully entrenched.
