The A's just took 3 of 4 from the Astros at minute-maid. The A's are 5.5 games behind Seattle for the second wild card, as long as we're not making the playoffs this year, I'm pulling for the A's. Because F**K Dipoto...

They are lucky and I'm sure they will fall off soon...

Mark Reynolds today with 5 hits, 2 HRs, 10 ribbies versus the miserable Jeters.

Oh yeah, Harper 3 for 3 to put him at a whopping .219 AVG.

And it's down to .212 after 2 ab's today

I agree Seattle has been very lucky this season especially in 1 run games

[Angel Oracle]

A'ths = what happens with having enough power hitting, clutch hitting, and dynamic 8th (Trevino) and 9th inning (Treinen) guys. 

No comprende any of those.

A's win three out of four against the Astros and are 18-5 in their last 23 games.

They must be doing something right.

It's all of the all stars they have 

[Stradling]

It’s about having younger guys closer to their prime.   Oh and a shut down late inning game. 

[arch stanton]

The A's appear to be a year ahead of schedule for their next sell-off

[fan_since79]

I look at them, then I look at us, and just shake my head.

In today’s lineup they had 6 guys with an OPS of .761 or better and the other 3 had OPS over .600. Those kind of numbers usual help.

They look impressive with their pitching and hitting their only weakness is their defense.

A 13-pitch at-bat for Mookie Betts culminates in a grand slam.

Boston wins its 10th in a row.

they don't have a marte or valbuena in their lineup on a regular basis.

maybe we need to make a trade with them.

Seattle: 58 - 39 5 GB of Houston -2 Run Differential

Baseball is weird...

[bloodbrother]

Smoke and mirrors, which led to Dipoto getting a multi-yr extension. Works for me

Extort the A'th to hand over Trivino and Treinen.
