    I'm enjoying the ride. I know it may not last, but these guys are fun to watch- win or lose. I look forward to seeing some youth coming up, at some point, too.
  2. moonslav59
    Maybe blue balls.
  3. moonslav59
    I swear Brice has some compromising information on Bloom. What else can it be? Spin rate- shmim rate!
  4. moonslav59
    It also makes me rethink how "bad" some of Bloom's gambles were last season. Maybe he chose wisely but was just off by a year on some of these guys. Also, look what we got from the Rays for two guys I thought should be simply DFA'd.

    Bobby has always had a nice OBP, too, so he's not a one trick pony. He may need some time at AAA or as a platoon, but I'm still confident he can and will become a decent MLB player or better.

    When we get done with out May 31 to August 1st stretch, we may think 23% is rather high. @HOU 4 @NYY 3 HOU 3 TOR 4 @ATL 2 @KC 3 @TB 3 NYY 3 KC 4 @OAK 3 @LAA 3 PHI 3 @NYY 4 @TOR3 NYY 4 TOR 4 (15 straight against these two!) @TB 3

    Very true. I know all of this criticism isn't after the fact, but even after the fact criticism is speculative. Of course, there were good reasons to leave Perez in, but there were also good reasons to take him out- some of which we might not even know about. Bottom line: Cora has done a fantastic job taking a team projected to win near 81 games and has us with the best record in MLB. Does this mean he has never made any mistakes or that we can never criticize him or his moves? Of course not, but some of the choice of wording gets a little out of hand, IMO, perhaps due to the heat of the moment.
  8. moonslav59
    Yes, he could have. His first "man on" could also have been an HR. Again, I'm not arguing he should have yanked him. I'd have probably left him in, but I didn't have all the facts, either. My point was only about taking him out making NO sense. There was some "sense" involved in yanking him. Perez sucks in the 6th inning. BTW, while our pen has struggled recently, they have done a fine job, this year.
  9. moonslav59
    Nobody is arguing Cordero needs to keep playing at the big level. Demote him not DFA him. Dalbec needs to be platooned, at best and demoted at worst. DFA'ing Dalbec would be insane.
  10. moonslav59
    The A's have 7 guys with over 90 PAs, and nobody over .870. .870 Matt Olden .809 R Laureano .779 Jed Lowrie (Yes, Jed is their third best hitter.) .777 Mark Canha .713 Matt Chapman .699 Sean Murphy .414 Elvis Andrus Mitch Moreland has 90 PAs and a .654 OPS. Piscotty is next at 84 and .654. Their pitching relies heavily on 3 starters: 3.07 Sean Manaea 3.29 Cole Irvin 3.70 Chris Bassit Their other two have sucked: 5.50 Frank Montas (Sound familiar?) 5.79 Jesus Luzardo (1.606 WHIP) Their pen? IP ERA Pitcher 21 0.87 Y Petit 19 3.86 L Trevino 15 2.40 J Diekman (L) 14 3.21 D Guerra 12 4.38 JB Wendelken (on IL) 12 7.30 S Romo Nothing really jumps out at you as being all that impressive, except the 3 top starters and the 21-15 record, but that's what the A's do.
  11. moonslav59
    The A's remind me a lot of the Rays. It looks like smoke and mirrors, but after years of doing this, you gotta respect what they do. Now, that being said, let's beat the bastids over the head!
  12. moonslav59
    I gave it my best, Max. I'm hoping someone can top your 9 game streak. Maybe that starts, tomorrow.
  13. moonslav59
    There's also a world of difference between demotion and giving a kid another chance and cutting them loose. I'm all for demoting Cordero. I have been for days. I'm all for lessening Dalbec's playing time -Chavis platoon? If we had someone to call-up, I might demote Dalbec, too. There's no way I totally give up on anyone over 5 weeks of slumping. If I did, I'd have given up on one of my all time favorite players, JBJ, several times over his career. Jackie started his career at .538 over his first 530 PAS! NOT 100! 530! Not only that, JBJ started the next season at .426 over his first 71 PAs, so we're talking over 600 PAs of near .500 hitting. He then hit 1.441 over the next 90 PAs for one of the hottest streaks a Sox player has ever had. I'm not saying Franchy or Dalbec are the next JBJ, but you don't just cut players loose after a 100 PA stretch of bad hitting.
  14. moonslav59
    I can see Atlanta turning the tides on the Jays, but this A's series will not be easy. I'm pulling for the Rays, too.
  15. moonslav59
    The team is 5-1 in ERod starts (3.82 ERA). The team is 5-2 in Eovaldi's starts (4.62 ERA).
  16. moonslav59
    Richards last 6 starts: 33.2 IP 30 Hits 13 BB 32 K 12 ER (3.21 ERA) The team went 3-3 in those 6 starts.
  17. moonslav59
    Pivetta last 5 starts: 25.2 IP 15 Hits 15 BB 24 Ks 9 ER (3.16 ERA) The team is 4-1 in his last 5 starts.
  18. moonslav59
    Perez in his last 3 starts: 16.1 IP 15 Hits 3 BB 17 K 4 ER (2.20 ERA) The team lost all 3 starts.
  19. moonslav59
    You stopped saying Renfroe and Taylor suck. What happened? Didn't you also say we should demote Devers when he started slowly?
  20. moonslav59
    It's hard to sweep 4 vs anyone. We've been swept once (first series vs BAL). We have 3 sweeps (v TB and @ BAL- both 3 game series & 2 @ NYM.) We have won 3 of 4 twice (@MN & @BAL) and split 2 4 game series (CWS & SEA). We won 2 of 3 vs DET. We split a 2 game series with TOR. We've lost just two series, all year (the second was 3 of 4 @TEX).
  21. moonslav59
    We host the A's coming up, while the Yanks travel to Tampa and the Jays to Atlanta. This week could be telling.
  22. moonslav59
    Perez has been a bigger surprise than Pivetta, in my eyes. Without these two, we'd be bummin' out and likely at each other's throats.
  23. moonslav59
    I'm not arguing we should have taken him out. My point is about it "not making sense." His history shows he falters after 5 IP. There is some sense in the idea of taking him out. Had we done so his previous two games, we might have 2 more wins.
  24. moonslav59
    Do you know what the word "cut" means? You should. We've told you over an over, yet you keep saying it. Cut = DFA
  25. moonslav59
    That was quick. s***** loss.
