My assumption is just buy a ticket anywhere for an A's game and move to whatever section you want to sit in. Or take in several sections throughout the game.

In Oakland, the visitor's bullpen is on the field right in front of sections 105, 106, 107, 108. I've sat in the front of those sections before, and it's cool to be right there when the bullpen guys are warming up.

In Oakland I suggest buying a seat next to the drummer and taking care of business. I promise no one will charge you

I was there several years ago. The ushers wouldn't let you sit up close anywhere despite all those seats being empty. You could move around a bit more among the lousy seats. Not sure if that's still enforced.

I had the same experience. I asked why and one worker told me that they have sections that they don't sell tickets to so they can save money on not having ushers and other workers there and so they don't have to spend money on janitors cleaning those sections after the game. They will only let you sit in sections where there are ushers.

It's like the 2013 Astros but without the bright future.

People seem shocked by his arm. Hell, with his size and athleticism I'd be shocked if he didn't have a canon.


That's what she said.
Yordan's like my boy Johann Pachelbel -- he's got a canon on D.


Exquisite.

If those idiots keep throwing changeups to him he should get to 100 in about a week. 10 days tops.
I have an idea. Why don't we continue to broadcast this to the whole world?



Not!

On the pitching side, we've got 3 of the top 11 in the AL:

7. Verlander 2.3
10. Javier 2.0
11. Framber 2.0

Yankees are next best with 3 of the top 16 (Cortes, Taillon, Cole).

Altuve off day, plus yuli on the bench. He DH'd yesterday... Wonder if he's hurt or this is some kind of shift in who is the starter at first

This is why I said last night that I can't wait till he's gone. He makes some truly braindead decisions, and in afraid they're gonna come back to bite us in the postseason at some point. I still blame him for how worn down the pitching staff was by the end last year. That was a knock on him with the Giants.

He hasn't made a bad postseason move so far that an recall.

I do like him giving guys chances to perform in multiple situations. I think that pays dividends.

Concluding my DC trip today. Had to rep Space City and only got called a cheater once! (Too hot for ripped jeans though).

Apparently harder than just writing the sub into the regular starter's spot. You can't expect an old man to work too much, can you?

This has been going on since they got home from New York... Wonder why they decided to do it now. There's more that they aren't telling us

Agreed. Last year he annoyed me all season with his dumb decisions, only to be pretty on-point all post season. I'm not sure exactly why he is the way he is during the regular season, but he earned the benefit of the doubt from me.

The look on his face after the triple play the other day looked like he was both having a stroke and didn't have a single thought in his mind.

Anywhere in EaDo if you want available street parking and pregame spots on your way to MMP.

He's just getting some guys into the game in different situations to see how they will respond. It's his way of getting information for the postseason.

I get it, but definitely could have hurt our playoff seeding last season and not sure it is quite worth the risk.
