Danny Valencia though. Pretty nice to have that guy back.

Westheim · 05-15-2016, 04:40 PM

Have to admit I missed the last one because I flicked over to the Mets game. At least Sonny got picked up.

It really is nice to have a guy who can hit play 3rd.

Khris Davis... I'm speechless right now.

That was amazing. Thought we lost it when Madsen gave up 2 runs in the 9th to blow the save.

Green & Gold Heart · 05-18-2016, 03:16 PM

It'll be a pretty good season if we can have a guy hit 3 HR in a game every other game.

He's good.

Green & Gold Heart · 05-19-2016, 05:06 PM

I noticed today he's tied for the AL lead in home runs. Considering he didn't even hit one until April twenty-something, that's pretty astounding.

And Marcus Semien is in the top 10!

edit: More than Donaldson & Trout

Glad I watched the Sharks game tonight.

The A's have won five in a row and are now only 4 games under .500.

And this while playing without Sonny Gray and Josh Reddick.

OK, it was the Twins, but still. The wins against them count just the same as against other teams.

Good for 5 games, bad for 7.... Good for 4, bad for 5....

Pretty much. What is it now - a 5 game losing streak? I've lost count.

I went to the game on Tuesday night. I'm glad they at least made it interesting in the 9th and I got the see the rare feat of a Billy Butler home run, live in person with my eyes.

dola,

And they traded Chris Coghlan back to the Cubs today. Hallelujah.

Daniel Mengden is getting called up to start tomorrow's game in Cincy!

Not sure what's more impressive - his 1.19 ERA in 11 minor league starts this season, or his mustache.

TribeFanInNC · 06-10-2016, 08:22 PM

Stache. No question.

I wanted to see him turn it around, but he just didn't do it. There aren't many utility men who warrant playing every day, and we seem to try every year with a different guy.

I say the 'stash. But I reserve the right to change my opinion when I see it on TV.

mirrf · 06-20-2016, 11:12 AM

Now that the NHL finals are over and the NBA finals just completed, can someone wake me if something exciting happens to the A's. And please don't make it about someone going on the DL, that happens a couple times a week....

He has been one of the few bright spots on the A's. He's earned a big thumbs up from me so far.
