Suzuki is almost as bad as Saul Goodman’s car

R.I.P after the desert scene.

I think they mostly got him for his leadership and offense. If Stassi is healthy, it's abundantly clear that he's the starter. Suzuki is fine as a backup. The defensive shortcomings are painfully obvious though.

The Angels likely aren't interested after he got arrested for yanking his wankee in public last year -- but Reese McGuire was recently moved off the Jays 40 man roster.  Former first rounder, three time top 100 guy, he just turned 26.  Not sure if he's got issues or not but someone is likely going to trade for him and providing he's not mentally ill, they likely will end up way ahead on that guy.

I can't believe I'm actually excited about watching the 5th game of a 162 game season

Dodgers are kicking the snot out of the A's...   Wonder if this is one of those rare occasions where the A's end up being worse than everyone expects.

They’re only good when no one thinks they will be. I could see the A’s being in 4th place this year. They really aren’t that good on paper... they just win somehow...

Probably Billy Beane practicing Witchcraft. 

[Bronson]

Fuck that little midget fucker. 

[bloodbrother]

Expected better command from Quintana. Not gonna have much success with his average stuff if the command isn't there for him

[AngelsLakersFan]

Strike three to Bregman was absolutely filthy

[Inside Pitch]

Best SP prospect in the system....

[Vlad27Trout27]

Besides Othani, I have not been this Excited about a Pitcher like Rodriguez in some time!

He's probably the best pitcher on the team.

[fan_since79]

Can Rodriguez pitch every day?

Yeah, I guess not...

[Bronson]

Yup C Rod is the ace of the future. 
 

Man 2022 rotation is looking mighty nice. Core of Bundy (hopefully), C-Rod Canning and Ohtani. Maybe just go all out and get Thor this offseason. 

[southpaw]

I am calling it now-  When Felix Pena comes off the IL, it won't be Chris Rodriguez that gets sent down.....

2nd best pure stuff after Ohtani

He's better right now than Ohtani.

Its the idea of pairing Ohtani and Rodriguez in the rotation that has me being so obstinate about him remaining a SP.

I’m only half kidding

I'm no scout, but I predict CR is going to be pulling a ton of tail in his career.

GJ Trout.
