A's broadcasters were talking about how these homeruns the last two nights have not been cheap shots.  Dallas Braden said ""you are paying full manufacturer's suggested retail price for these shots".

The only thing, the ONLY thing that could have made that Mountcastle grand slam any better would have been Palmer reminding everyone that he never gave one up. That kills me every time.

Tough to get to extra innings with Voth out of the game.

Well, not a good start on his T-shirt night. Gave up way too much hard contact and his command was just not very good. I really would like to see him use the change right on right a little more. 

He was given a gift of the A's and wasn't able to come through. Disappointing.

This is what I am so used to with Os pitching prospects.  What a disappointment. 

Meh, you can see the potential.  Hall last year not only wasn’t great but the stuff was pretty mediocre.  I think he is going to get sent down though.  Better chance to win with Bradish

Maybe G Rod is nothing but a bullpen guy?   Two rather blah starts.  And this was against a AAAA team for christ sake.   Not even a real major league team.   And he couldnt put anyone away at all. 

Yep, they should totes make a decision based off of two starts.

Wildcard isn't this reactionary.

      Yeah like Tony T but Tony has the ability to foul pitches at will.  I want Cowser to be more like @waroriole’s Rob Refsnyder and Holliday to be Steven Kwan.  Is that too much to ask of number one picks?  But I love Cowser and most of everything he brings.

      I can't say The Wall gives me all warm fuzzies but it doesn't swing at pitches a foot outside the zone or take a meatball right down the middle of the plate. It doesn't fail to move a runner over or lay down a decent sacrifice bunt. I've never seen it fail to get a hit with a runner in scoring position. At some point The Wall will probably be modified some but you build your team to play best in their home ball park. It's called home field advantage. IMO, Westy is the best right handed bat we have right now for this park. We need someone else like Westy that plays outfield. Bregman would be nice but I don't see it because of Westy and I have hopes Holliday becomes the OBP lead off hitter we need. Note - I'm still pissed but it's getting better. I think I'll live for another season.

      Who will pay Burnes $400M this offseason?

      By Warehouse · Posted

      I’d like to see a study showing that team spending is more closely correlated to owner net worth than team revenue.  There are rare instances where a team owner will subsidize spending (e.g., Cohen) but that’s the exception not the rule - and note that Cohen owns 97% of the Mets vs a much lower % for Rubinstein.  Rubinstein has already been explicit that he is not in this to lose money.

      Cowser’s  swing decisions are determined before the pitch is even thrown. And I’ve been saying this all year, and I even said this at the game. I go it’s too early to pinch it for him because his defense is too good but he is 100% going to strike out and that’s exactly what he did with bases loaded. He decides whether he is going to swing a pitch before even thrown This is why he swings at a pitch thrown pretty close to his face . And To be fair, he  had a pretty good season doing that but obviously can be  easily exploited

      Cowser's progress was one of the more encouraging elements this season, especially on the defensive side. I was already crediting him with being Some Kind of Good major leaguer a post back. Between his and Adley's standout bad performances on the HBP and 2-0 count, I give Cowser more of a grace.     Sure he had predetermined intent to swing, but I think the follow through was some raw instinct as hand bones fractured. Adley not swinging was the lowlight how incapacitated he was.    I believe he commands the strike zone, but to feel so low you can't pull the trigger in that spot...sheesh.

      How does Povich fit into your 2025 plans?

      By jabba72 · Posted

      I believe Elias plans to bring in two more SP's, the quality isnt what im sure about. But no question he'll want to replace Burnes. Which is why I didnt comment in this thread yet because Povich might not have a spot open at the beginning of the year.

      Elias: It's on me

      By bobmc · Posted

      So a “Pollyanna” then like me, @wildcard and others (joking of course) 😇 I’m in your camp but really wonder if Elias/Hyde and Co. can truly“flip the script” as @Just Regular alludes.
