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

[COLOR=#red]Fully expect at least two more trades... don't mind them at this point.[/COLOR]

I agree.. Billy Beane said it himself, "We had to be realistic about where we were as a club". I feel like the next two for sure that's going to be gone is Clippard and Zobrist. Maybe Jesse Chavez since he's been pitching so well too but lets sweep the Giants first.

My M&N Rickey jersey came in, looks and fits great. Maybe small is too small for me, the length of the jersey is the same length as a t-shirt I'd wear. But it's not a big deal. Happy with it

 

[DB Cooper]

Another blown lead in the 9th! Just glad they were able to get the walk-off!

Infield is nice and a Burns, Crisp, Reddick outfield is too. Billy just needs to say eff it and spend money this winter on one big bat and relief pitchers. SCREW IT, GET AROLDIS CHAMPMAN LOL

 

[Johnny_Cakes]

I wonder how he'll approach the bullpen this offseason. It was the total opposite of what anyone expected.

[COLOR=#red]100% agree...I could of sworn (before the season started) it was a strength to be matched with starting pitching...
Just a huge disappointment. [/COLOR]

 

[johnson1]

the bullpen has just had a rough year with Doolittle being out, and Otero, Abad, and Pomeranz struggling most of the year

I mean Clippard was decent while he was here

 

[DB Cooper]

This is sad!

 

[grusumm18]

This is sad!

Whatever
Take the l's
Lock up this top 5 pick (if the ****** nl teams can get 50w's please and thank you)

And let's get rid of this stupid run diff talk while we're at it too. Thanks.

I wrote this tongue-in-cheek piece about the A's bobbleheads getting smaller.

 

[DB Cooper]

Back 2 Back games with 7 run innings. Where has this been this whole season?

 

[bronconation24]

Ready for tommorow

Man is our rotation trash though. Kendall graveman is sooo bad

 

[Johnny_Cakes]

I will update the thread title tonight. Go A's.

 

[nomnom]

Thread's been dead since that Royals heartbreaker and Donaldson trade

Can only go up after last season! Let's go

 

[moe200069]

I agree, can only get better from last season. LET'S GET IT OAKLAND!

 

[grusumm18]

wouldn't mind another top 6 pick...other than manea, chapman, and barreto, theres not much else in the farm

martin and white don't do much for me and neither do nunez or olsen...hell, the last few draft classes have been subpar...but id rather have higher picks bc we sure af aint getting any fa's

 

[moe200069]

typical A's baseball today, leaving plenty of men stranded on base. however, I'm impressed with our starting rotation for the past couple of days.

anyone else think that Coco is playing with a chip on his shoulder considering so many people counted him out prior to the beginning of this season?

 

[johnson1]

Nice to see some signs of life from Coco's corpse

Reddick is the best player on this team other than Gray, and that's kinda sad

I ain't trying to hate too hard, he's just old and can't be counted on to stay healthy.


Yonder Alonso and Khris Davis have been utter poo poo so far... still early tho

 

[DB Cooper]

Man...this team just blows!

Man...this team just blows!

Blows by the second baseman while running to third for a stand up tripple


They've exceeded my expectations already but that only shows you how low they were to begin with

Bruh I'd jump for joy at .500 for the season
