That said, at least you paid Yellich. I was also being a little facetious over the payroll stuff lol. Just wanted to be like "see you were top half in payroll!!!!!" for the fun of it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beekay414 Posted October 1, 2020 Share Posted October 1, 2020 They postponed the Marlins-Cubs game because of consistent chance of rain. We're talking 15% to a max of 40% chance and they already postponed it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BayRaider Posted October 1, 2020 Author Share Posted October 1, 2020 Come on A’s!!! We haven’t won a playoff series since 2006. No World Series Appearance since 1990. No World Series win since 1989 Cub, Indian, and Red Sox fans probably like “that’s it....?” Lol. Also have had a Bottom 3 Payroll every year basically forever. My biggest issue with Baseball. Hope we can show some heart today, put the bats together, get in some runs, let the bullpen go to work, and advance to the next round and take care of business against the Astros.

DirtyDez Posted October 1, 2020 Share Posted October 1, 2020 The A’s are 1-12 in their last 13 playoff series or Wild Card games. The Marlins have never lost a playoff series or Wild Card game........................... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah, Attanasio isn't getting a pass from me for extending Yelich with the Braun and Cain money. He had a bonafide World Series contender and then cheapened out and pocketed the playoff money. Our window is about to slam shut, if it already hasn't, and we're going to waste the prime of another great player like we did with Braun.

Especially 01’ up 2-0 and 03’ up 2-0. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And yes, @ramssuperbowl99, I understand he put that playoff money and some into renovating Maryvale, but the on-field product is worth more to the fans than a cool place we use for 2 months. The only thing investing that money into Maryvale does is line his pockets even more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're not wrong but I'm out of emotional bandwidth to actually be mad at this point. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But apparently MLB was under a bunch of pressure to not risk the players potentially spending all that time indoors together during a rain delay. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

White Sox are physically incapable of throwing a strike right now, regardless of the pitcher. I'm liking their chances. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BayRaider Posted October 1, 2020 Author Share Posted October 1, 2020 A’s baby!! Haven’t cheered this much in ages! What a half inning. Those were some of the best At-Bats I’ve seen during the post season. White Sox Bullpen has been very underwhelming with their location as well.
