Panderrific, in a nauseatingly commercial kind of way?

You know, the irony is that with the Angels bullpen ruining the game, it should’ve made a great Father’s Day for A’s fans.  But most A’s fans don’t know their fathers, as opposed to Angels fans who mostly do, so there was no bright side and everyone got screwed in the end.

LMAO. Funniest thing in this thread.

Just not a very good team at all right now. I've checked out the last few days as well, because at a certain point it just isn't worth it and life gets in the way. I still check the scores religiously but no longer feel a need to watch every inning.

What are we, like 7 games under .500 since game 16? We have enough of a sample size to be able to say the overall result won't be that different than last year in my opinion

The good news is the farm system is trending up

Same with me, I used to tune in and watch as much as I could but since Ohtani, Simmons, Richards, Middleton, Tropeano, etc. have all been hurt and the offense underperforms it gets kinda old. Especially when you can expect the bullpen to blow any late lead we have.  Same old same old. I don’t get why this team seems to be cursed. 

 

But as as you said, the farm is trending up and we can really look forward to Adell, Thaiss, Canning etc.

Valbuena vs RHP:  .213/.262/.329/.591

@Jeff FletcherThis is what I mean about Scioscia not playing the youngsters.
