Post by: hostros7 on July 22, 2019, 07:27:31 pm: Do you think Mike Fiers and Bailey discuss the merits of forearm iconography in the clubhouse?

Chapman is a slick defender.

It looked like that ball took a little bit of a bad hop at the end and he wound up grabbing it more between the thumb and forefinger, and he still made a good throw.

Post by: Knoxbanedoodle on July 22, 2019, 08:06:36 pm: Chapman is a stud. It's also pretty amazing how much Semien has improved defensively. An up the middle defense including he and Profar should by all rights be really, really bad. The A's are a terrific little bunch of ingenious bastards. God help us if they ever move and have money.

Profar is a definite weak link. I watched several of the Twins-A's games last week, and his throws to 1st are a consistent adventure.

I guess he didn't like that HBP on his first AB.

Post by: chuck on July 22, 2019, 09:02:22 pm: So Yordan's been up a couple of times and has a homer and seven rbi. Cole has 15 ks. I was wondering about anything newsworthy or surprising.

You're cool, just read the boxscore.

Did you see him run to first?

They are subbing.

A few times in blowouts

Edit: 3 times this year and once in 2017

Post by: Snuffy on July 22, 2019, 10:04:21 pm: Martini (LF) pitched the 8th for the A's - pitching in the 60's.
Astros don't punish him.
Remember White throwing 60 38 pitches in 0.2 innings of relief, while giving up a couple HR?
