Here comes the rally boys! Get ready!

Kind of ironic that the pitcher named Young has a grey beard. 

[Moose Milligan]

People can whine about Gunnar not hitting lefties but a good batters eye and plate discipline doesn’t matter. 
 

Came back from 0-2 to draw a walk.

The league is catching up to Cruz.  He has Mateo-itis.  Loves to swing at 59 foot breaking balls.

Catching up? The man has played 20 WHOLE GAMES and was considered a consensus top 2/3 prospect. Some of you are REALLY HARD TO PLEASE and VERY HARSH with the evualations.

But then I remember the fans who wanted Gunnar sent down. So I guess it's par for the course now.

Adley is downright terrible at throws to second. 

I live in the A's TV market and see a lot of A's and Giants games.   Langeliers for Oakland is a good as they cone in throwing out runners.  He is fun to watch.

Great AB by Gunnar! Way to battle!!!

[Gurgi]

Adley is a solid catcher but honestly he isnt blowing me away.  His walking and his eye is top notch.  His throws are horrifying right now.  His power seems meh.   

But for a catcher I guess he is doing enough.

He's been worth 7 WAR in his first 188 Major League games. In what sense is he overrated? Because he's in the middle of a funk? 

His throws have been really bad recently and he's slumping. That doesn't negate all of the good he's done. 

I don’t know where 7 war comes from. He doesn’t have much pop and his defense is borderline a liability.

The hole in his game is that he chases outside the zone.  Doesn’t mean he can’t be a great ML ball player.   But also, this is my take in the game thread, where half assed posts are more acceptable (and that’s why I mostly post here!).

The Seven Years' War (1756–1763) was a global conflict that involved most of the European great powers, and was fought primarily in Europe, the Americas, and Asia-Pacific.

Fair enough.

Love the patience 

[O's84]

Giant letdown again.

[Gurgi]

Westburg needs to elevate the ball.  Too much of this ground ball to third crap.  LOL
