The Oakland Athletics 2018 Offseason Season Thread | One and Done Again

My ideal scenario would be to drop Sogard next year by moving Lowrie to second and having Addison at short. Lowrie is still a liability defensively but it might be made a bit better moving him to second and away from a hot position like SS.

Let' finish these guys tomorrow.

 

[Johnny_Cakes]

I'm thinking about popping up at the game tomorrow DOLO.

 

[bronconation24]

Hahah milone.. Go **** yourself

 

[Johnny_Cakes]

Tom needs to go. This USC influence has doomed us the past two years now.

 

[GreenNGold89]

Lead off homer for a lead off homer.

 

[bronconation24]

What's gotten into jaso

 

[Johnny_Cakes]

He seems to perform better at lead off.

 

[albooboo]

A's get Kyle Blanks.  Padres will receive Triple-A outfielder Jake Goebbert and a player to be named later.

 

[Johnny_Cakes]

That should be the end of Barton's time with us. He can clear waivers and return to the team if offered a minor league assignment, but he retains the right to deny the invite.

 

[johnson1]

Man i sure hope it ends his time with us..

Kyle Blanks - Chris Carter 2.0

 

[bronconation24]

Our bullpen is going to be so bad all the way through out september. In the playoffs, you have to protect leads.

 

[bronconation24]

What a great inning

 

[bronconation24]

Like I said, what a great inning lol

 

[g raider]

how bout them swingin A's.. Reddick and JD

 

[Johnny_Cakes]

Sonny needs to stay sharp.

 

[bronconation24]

Everytime sonny starts, he needs to give up a couple runs in the first couple of innings.. That always helps him settle down. Dead srs

 

[g raider]

yea sonny seems to always start out rocky.. not sure what thats all about..

 

[Johnny_Cakes]

We are slaughtering Cleveland.

 

[Johnny_Cakes]

These dog **** umps are trying to **** us over AGAIN in Cleveland.

Whatever. At least we're clapping the Indians this time around.

 

[g raider]

baseball gods made it right on the very next pitch.

 

[g raider]

Oakland going to work again today.

 

[johnson1]

Well that was an utterly dominant series against the tribe...

Moss is unreal right now

 

[Johnny_Cakes]

Good series boys

 

[wooster]

Do you guys have any insight as to why Sacramento doesn't want the A's Triple-A team anymore and wants the Giants instead?  They should know the Giants' farm system is garbage (and that's coming from a SF fan).

No San Jose.  No Sacramento.  I feel almost apologetic.
