2014 Oakland A's season thread..

[ahomeplateslugger]

Can we change the thread title?

I guess nobody stayed up to watch Coco Clutch hit his first ever walk off home run in extra innings.

Cespedes with the big hit in the 8th.

They already battle tested early on in these first 4 games to be a paltry 2-2. Once Johnson gets into his groove, we gonna be straight.

i was gonna make the thread this morning but saw this....how about "they only come to oakland on gameday"

 

[BonafideDefacto]

I go to more A's games than a lot of fans that I know
But I'm a firm believer in... 'your loyalty doesn't reside in the # of games you go to'

That said
The A's are my 2nd favorite team behind my Indians
I go to a ton of games a year
You can always catch me down low
But after last nights game
I'm thinking of getting drunk and chillin in the bleachers...
those nikkas be dummy
All the wild shyt that goes on up there be having me like



Went to the opening day game vs my Indians
Cant believe yall cats were protesting our name

My Seats from the opener

Was at last nights game
Had some field level box seats with my home girl who works at ESPN

I find it sad how empty the stadium is on weekdays
its pretty pathetic considering how packed the Giants games always are and other stadiums around the league
But thats a reflection on the stadium itself
The A's need a new ballpark
One here in San Jose would always be full
But the giants are bytches

I was liking "fukkk Jim Johnson." lol, i guess that was too negative.

i can rock with that

i'm willing to give that guy a few more chances but if he keeps blowing leads then in the bushes he go, especially with ryan cook coming back soon.

This muthalova blew yet another save! Thank god we were able to score 3 in the 11th but 0-3 is NOT a good look.

Thanks for taking Jim Johnson brehs...

 

[BayArea Breez]

Johnson is out as closer for now, committee time. I'd like to see Doolittle get a real shot at it until Cook is ready from his injury.

 

[andre patton]

Johnson is out

2 weeks into the season....

Oakland has the best run differential in the AL....2nd best in the MLB
Oakland has the best record in the AL...3rd best in the MLB

 

[SoulController]

im liking the pen as a whole, if Pomeranz pans out and gives us that 2nd deadly lefty to pair with Doolittle

Kazmir-so far so good, nice vet compliment to the ro. Straily looks like hes ready to be a steady player now, still have high hopes for him to be the #3 going forward

the lineup will need an addition at some point, but thats later on.

 

[BayArea Breez]

We just re-upped Doolittle for another 4 years. Good move, Billy

 

[ahomeplateslugger]

the best record in the AL, number 3 in runs scored, 2nd in OBP, 3rd in ERA and #1 in opponents bat average the A's are beasting and that's without parker and griffin.

sonny, kazmir and chavez have been holding the starters down and i like what i've seen from pomeranz too. relief has been a lot better since hoe johnson has been pulled. A's would have the best record if he didn't blow a couple of games

 

[SoulController]

brehs why is this thread crickets we are 1st in runs, ERA, opponent BA, OPS and run diff by a large margin

still have to get a more firm in the 9th, and 2nd could be upgraded but the lineup is producing like the early 00's squads. im a little concerned about Cook, still no word on him. still have a great 6-8 innning crew, but you never want to lose quality RP depth. especially when closer has been shaky

 

[BayArea Breez]

Need to figure out them Tigers cuz you know we're going to see them in the playoffs
