vs. ATHLETICS, 8/17

[SteveA]

Butler is still dangerous.

Debatable.

[Frobby]

C'mon Zach! That was a predictable finish...

[Palmoripken]

I didn't see this sweep coming

I know Oakland isn't good but that's a great response after the no hitter.

Butler single-handedly ruined like 6 innings in this series.

Nice sweep boys!

He REALLY did. 30 million, well spent! Imagine how Dan would be toasted around here had we signed him.

Sweep! Great series boys!

The BB was to set up the DP, of course. This team is building some momentum?

[Going Underground]

Butler is still dangerous.

Maybe to an all night diner.

It didn't prove him wrong.

The tying run stepped up to the plate.

The fact that he hit into a double play doesn't take away from that fact.

But the double play would have been impossible after a HR.

So the walk was not as bad as a HR.

O's sweep the As in four games. Out score them 34 to 13 with only 1 save...

It felt more nerve wracking than that

I tapped, I talked, I conquered.

Click at your own risk.

Curiosity killed the cat. Brutal! Hope he's ok.

Signing Butler.

Trading for Johnson.

Trading Donaldson.

Trading Cespedes. (I had a thread questioning trading offense for pitching in a weak offensive environment.)

That is not a good two years.

I don't disagree with you on the top three but I'll disagree all day long with you on Cespedes. Pitching is always at a premium in the playoffs and they were decimated by injuries down the stretch. And one guy doesn't change the landscape offensively.

And the jury is still out on both the Samardzija and Donaldson trades or the returns, although it's hard to imagine him getting production enough to compensate for JD. Samardzija, he's already got Semien.

I remember when Mussina took a shot like that. I thought his career was over.

I was in a golf tourney when that happened. Didn't see video of it for a couple years.

Yea, I ain't clicking it.
