They get paid too. Not as much as everyone else, but paid nonetheless

How many would Rickey have swiped with bigger bases and limited throws to 1st?
The year he had 130 he was caught 42 times.
If Rickey was on first and no out, Rickey was 100% going to attempt a steal. That was Maury Wills MO before Rickey.

There’s a small part of me that feels like beating this team is like kicking a wounded puppy.
I do too, but then I remember 2012…

I’m thinking Oakland may not be very good this year.

Oh man.

They get paid too.
So do minor leaguers. Which is what they’re facing.
All Wins and Losses count the same.
NO MERCY!!
Tucker reaches on catcher’s interference…that’s an E2 if you’re scoring at home…and even if you’re not
Two on for Abreu…
I have a only a tiny bit of sympathy for the situation the Athletics find themselves in. Oakland has issues that go way beyond helping the A’s get a new stadium.
Sigh.

NO MERCY!!
NO SURRENDER!! KILL OR BE KILLED!!
At least Abreu is leaving at bats for Julks.
We’ll always have that second inning flyball, Jose.

SWEEP THE LEG!
Halfway…5-0 Astros
Pop foul by Corey on ball 4.
Sure won’t miss that shithole of a stadium.

I wouldn’t say I’ll be missing Oakland, Bob
I was there in 2010, it was a shithole but 2008 Shea was worse. Shea literally reeked of piss smell. They just gave up its last couple of years. I guess that is what they have done in Oakland as well.
Holy cow.
Worst missed call of the year.
Holy fuck. Meyers takes a fastball right down the middle that should have been strike three, then singles.
