It didn't look like LaRussa did much to defend his player.  Honestly it might be a bit stupid but one of the reasons I hated LaRussa the first time was his lawyerly argumentative style.  If you are going out there to argue with an ump, let him have it.  Go Earl Weaver on his ass....and buy him a drink later if you feel you need to do that.

Earl Weaver knew how to manage.  Probably my all-time favorite.  If you were a regular player you were on the field or in the hospital.  He didn't try to overthink it.

Grandal hitting 5 th again is not a good idea.

Lets go A's! Bury us plz

This is probably their best hitting lineup without Robert

With the exception of Grandal.  Sevy would be a hitting upgrade.

What the fuck is literal face plant Sheets doing in RF again?

Where the hell is Adam Engel?

Why do people give pets human names?

Right field grass needs some weeding and other maintenance provided by Sheets.

Understood.

Pretty sure a 79-83 record wins this division.

Every time Gavin Sheets misplays a ball in the OF, remember that the GM built the roster in a way that required TWO 1Bs in the outfield. 

Weird how opposing teams don't struggle to hit HR's here ?

That didn’t take long

we'd pop that slider up

JFC

What a terrible pitch

You'd think one of these years he'll figure out he's not playing fantasy baseball.

Two 1B's in the corners and a LF in CF. Also, this team doesn't hit for power or draw any walks. It'd be difficult to assemble a more poorly constructed roster if you tried doing so on purpose.

Cueto keeps putting pitches right down the plate

Year 22 of Hahn + KW not placing any value at all on defense

Yet that is exactly what Hahn and TLR have done.

Blow it all up. Would rather do a full rebuild with new ownership on down instead of seeing these losers trying to fix things.

Oakland continues HR ball

Yeah, but you're not gonna get that.
