    I'd be all for this if there weren't currently 3 rotation spots that might go 4-5 innings. I suppose one of them is going away with McCullers coming off the DL, but we can't be 100% on that outcome yet. I'd like to have the entire pen around still

    Damn. I went out for a while and it was 11-1. 12-9? We got shelled. Still a win. Guess no lead is safe.

    I mean... you could have left for ~7 minutes earlier in the game and seen the score go from 2-0 to 10-0. This was that many runs in a much, much longer amount of time

    I understood exactly what you wrote. Jake had yet to do anything historically to show he would be a good leadoff man. Shoot, based on his power stats this year he should be hitting cleanup.

    Well technically he has done something historically to show he would be a good leadoff man, if you count today's game as history.

    That wasn't a game it was a missile launch. Good to get a sweep.

    I was surprised Diaz was even still on the team before tonight's outing.

    Surely he's done once McCullers is back, we should probably just release him outright.

    I once said the same thing about Dan Straily. Diaz may be good to have around to face Roughned Odor if you know what I mean.

    Just watching the game and Paulino's curveball is freaking wicked. Multiple times an A's player buckled and then gave a weak swing trying to make contact. If Paulino pitched all his games with that big outfield he could be an all-star. It would not surprise me if the A's asked for him in any Sonny Gray deal.

    I thought the same thing the first time I saw Ricky Rubio. Like seriously I have never met the guy or heard him speak or know anything about him, but damn I want to punch him in the face.

    He's been so bad in the major leagues. He's bounced around the minors for nearly a decade, you'd think he'd be about done but his historical overall AAA numbers are pretty good and his stuff isn't bad based on his strikeout rate. I just don't know what to make of the guy. He can't be as bad as he's looked so far, can he?! Dude's an enigma.

    Even with all the struggles on the homestand, we are still 12-8 in the month of June.
