Oakland still sucks. Remember our old friend at Throwbacks Jason Brennan?

We'll see how long that lasts. Nevin's coaching for a job himself being on a 1yr deal so he can't afford to keep going to guys that aren't getting the job done

I really liked Wayne Radazzo. On par with Matt Vasgersian.

Agree, he's really good, on par with Victor Rojas (which is saying a lot, big fan of Rojas).

Would love to have both (Rojas and Randazzo). Should have both.  

Actually prefer both of them over Matt Vasgersian.

Yikes, yep hate the bay area. 

[Tank]

trout hit the ball hard but right at people. 

ohtani pitched as expected. couldn't ask for more from him on opening night.

the bullpen . . . *sigh*

that catch by renfoe . . . sometimes it's better to be lucky than good, but that was just fantastic fun to watch. early lead for catch of the year, and it'll be tough to beat. 

oakland is a crappy team. with as much as talent as this lineup has, getting hits shouldn't be a problem like it was tonight. on to game 2.

Looking at the glass half fulll....

At least Nevin didn't say results don't matter.

Put Urshela on 1B, Drury on 2B, and Rengifo at SS?

Would that have changed last nights game?  It’s the exact same players moved around, when defense was t the problem.

And the bats go to sleep right on cue

You just love 80-82 seasons, don't you?

It will be nice to see kids up early this year. Neto, Joyce, Moniak among others. It will not be nice to see Ohtani in Dodger uniform next year. It will not be nice as Trout ask for a trade. It will be nice to see Loup and Tepera gone next year. It will be interesting to see what halos get in trade for Ohtani this year.

Ohtani goes 6 scoreless with 10 K and has to watch his team lose to a Triple-A roster in the end. He's definitely staying

To be fair it's easier to go 6 scoreless with 10 K when you're facing a Triple-A roster.

Does it feel like Saturday's game is like a must win?

Things should go better this season as long as they can avoid one of those pesky 14 game losing streaks

...and Trout pulling up while jogging to the dugout and missing five months.

And the other weird injuries that are so common with this team. Just stop it for once!!

Jason now knows you can't leave anything visible in your car, no matter where you are. Even in upscale neighborhoods it's a flashing signal to thieves. In Oakland you can be gone five minutes and they've struck.

[Chuck]

Fastest pitch and hardest hit in the game last night goes to....

[Blarg]

I think Logan is going to be moving up the batting order soon. He has a very good eye at the plate, makes hard contact and I'd bet he would beat half the roster on a race to first base.

Some strange audio going on there in the stadium. Weird music. And someone just death screamed over the PA system.

We heard this as we were walking to our car.  The decibal level of that scream was ridiculous.  I can't imagine how loud it was inside the stadium.

It was cold.  The wind was the worst part.

When the MLB has the nickname on the jersey day, Loup can put “Lil’ Bi+ch” on his.

Imagine how cold and windy it would be with no side window in your car, and no jacket to put on because some shitbag heisted your suitcase?

Who will be gone first the Manager, Loup the Coup. Also Loup statement is try but he always pitches like a lil bitch.
