The A's found something in Rooker. Hope with the new stadium they can keep him around for awhile. It's easier to find the diamond in the rough when your entire lineup is a bunch of young guys or fliers. Surely one of nine will work out.

Good win to start the series. A sweep would be very nice

Matijevick's been tearing it up in Sugarland and has been playing some first base, at least there's a chance he could improve.
Man he had sucked badly when he has been given the chance. Maybe time to try again?
JJ last year (71 PA): .209/.254/.328
Just flip a coin
One is on the 40 man being paid $20mil, the other got DFA'd and no longer on the 40 man
That coin has already been flipped
perhaps hard to believe...
Dylan Cease has a 5.58 ERA
he had otherworldly stuff on opening night, but not lately

He's been struggling! ERA almost up to 11 over the last 3 starts. I've been paying extra attention since he's on my fantasy team.

I forgot he's not on the 40 man anymore
Snitker was right to jump on Wegman early

This ump has the worst strike zone I've ever seen. It's horrible and it's inconsistent. The ump before the last game had a terrible strike zone but he was at least consistent
Any truth to the rumor that Elon is currently in negotiations with the Stros to aquire Yordan's expertise for SpaceX?
Seriously, for a guy that already had several "I can't believe he just did that" moments, there's another one to add to the list. What a phenom.

Hitting savant.
JP France has only allowed one run ver 13 innings (correct me if I'm wrong). If he can keep that up our SP fears will Hopefully be lessened

It's best for this board to remember that with his stuff, if he's on, he could hold this offense down.
Just wanted to get that out of the way early.

It's 11.2 innings pitched (you asked for it).
Your point stands. This awful Astros farm system produces a stud every now and then I guess.
His lack of Ks worries me a little.
It's not the SP that is causing us to play at .500. It's the amazingly spectacular craptastic hitting.
It Abreu doesn't hit a bomb this weekend just leave his ass in the Comiskey parking lot.
I bet the Marlins wouldn't trade him and his now dead-weight contract straight up for Yuli.

I think everyone across major league baseball is shocked at how bad Abreu has been
he will cross the 150 at-bat threshold in today's game

Like I said, he's a big guy, so I wouldn't doubt he started playing baseball in Cuba at a much younger age than admitted to, and is actually in his early 40's.
and he would not be the first Latin born player to fudge that
Day two in Chi-Town.

Top of 8th in the Bronx and probably one of the most egregious strike 3 calls I've seen. Ends the inning in a 9-8 ball game.
The Diaz debacle continues.

Lol!!! Salazar, wtf
Some day we are all going to find out the story between Dusty and Chas and Dusty and Diaz.
There has to be a story here. It may be as simple as "Dusty thinks they are ass my dude" but there is a story.

Looks like I ticked off the rangerettes...I happened to check on their thread from last night and of course they claim the umpire completely screwed them so I just checked the umpire rating...almost a full run in their favor, so I posted it without any commentary.
If only those dip****s knew how bad we get consistently screwed by the umpire (as well as NY) with receipts to back it up...oh well.
Also I ticked them off so bad they're accusing me of bringing down the Aggies...delusional doesn't being to describe them.

I was watching the A's broadcast and they even talked about it a little (the missed strike call).
I didn't think it was that bad of a call. The way the catcher caught it, swiping it down into the ground, I doubt that gets called a strike by very many if any umps.

We are 2nd in ERA, 3rd in runs allowed, 4th in strikeouts. The pitching can improve, but it's already excellent. We are also 4th in fielding percentage.
Most offensive metrics we are in the teens or 20's - and that is the problem

So what does the fact that JJ isn't on the 40 man roster mean? To bring him up could they just bump someone else off the roster? How does that work?
I know he didn't do very well in his chance with the Astros last year but he did hit .209 vs .208 for Dubon. Young players will sometimes improve, guys Abreu's age not so much.

I love you man, and everyone on this ride of a lifetime.
But PLEASE, please do not post on the Rangers thread. There is zero value. No, I take that back- it's an absolute negative. Just leave them be as they do us as far as I can tell.
Do you like it when they come act dip$h!ts on our thread?Prosperdick said:

Don't be a troll.
It matters because he was the one they already chose to drop. They aren't going to add him back and drop someone else two months later. All to replace a guy they just signed for 20 million for three years
And apparently someone else did it, too. Come on, guys. Damnation.
