The A's stink, but they  know how to play the game. The Orioles . . . not so much.

Not a high IQ team for sure. Kind of explains the whole homer hose or bong dong thing. Not a lot of sense on this team. There is some talent but it's surrounded with some knucklehead wrappers.

The  errors are going to happen but mental errors and laziness is not good.  Gets managers fired .WIll not the A's manager

Yeah so many times they have hit the ball where it was pitched or shortened up.  Their hitting isn’t that bad. 

[Low Country Bird]

The question I have is what the heck happened between September 2022 and April 2023?  We are a completely different team in the field with most of the same guys playing the same positions.

[Gurgi]

Does Masn only have like three or four people buying commericals?  Because we see the same ones over and over and over.  Sometimes the same one back to back.

Looks like a loss to a

2 - 9 team.

You can't win them all, but that inning was embarrassing. Just a clownshow of poor mental errors.

Bring up Cowser, Stowers and Kierstad. Start all three of them.

Can't do it, hurts the minor league rankings

If Hyde was willing to use Perez this inning then why not start him?

Hoping Akin could do the job. Kind of like standing on the sidewalk and hoping someone will drop a hundred dollar bill.

Never thought coaching or mental preparedness would be an issue for this team.    Hoping for some level of accountability.  I am sure opposing team scouts are having a field day writing up this OF.

Can someone start a reactionary thread about firing ...let me see...wait a second...

All these guys and no outfield coach.

Obviously this is on Elias.

It’s Sanders. But MLB charges individual teams by the letters used on their websites so in order to save money they cut corners.

I feel like this is a game where we've played down to an inferior team (talentwise) and have shot ourselves in the foot, too.  

The win yesterday was nice, but it took a pretty heroic effort from Mountcastle to get it done.  You kinda hoped that they'd come out today and kick the **** out of them....but they haven't.  It's pretty depressing.

We're facing the drummer for the Red Hot Chili Peppers.  

LFG.

Yeah this is a dumb team.  Not a lot of good decisions going on out there.   Maybe Hyde has served his purpose?  Maybe we need someone with more talent out there to manage.

I really don’t have an issue using Akin but to me if Perez was available go to him. 
 

Hyde got greedy to me. I get he would like to stay away from him but then he brings him in a jam.
