Do you even post in here?

Sorry, I didn't know I have to post in here 24/7 to be a fan.

What's great is all these young guys playing great for us. Chris Carter finally looks really good in the big leagues, Norris has been good, we have an all star Closer that was in double A last year, etc. We have a decent young team that will only get better.

Cespy in CF, Reddick in RF, Taylor or Green in Lf, Carter at 1st, Weeks at 2nd, Norris C. Then a rotation of McCarthy, Parker, Anderson, Milone, and Braden or Peacock. And of course Cook as our closer.

The future is bright in Oakland we just need it to be bright in a new stadium!

It's all good, doe. I'm a Giants fan, but I peep at this thread occasionally and post a thing or two. I just HATE it when people only post or "support their team" when the team is doing well like a team is riding a 5 game winning streak. All I see is Giants hat, decals, shirts, and stuff here in Sacramento. Again, I am a Giants fans, but where were the other people 5-10 years ago? The same can go for the Miami Heat.

The A's are playing well and they're not bad to watch. In fact, I may even watch them play tonight against the M's....MIGHT!!!

I'm an A's fan 100% my friend. I was born in SF and moved to NC so it's hard to follow the A's besides reading articles. I hope the way they're playing carries over into the 2nd half of the season. They probably won't catch those dumbass Rangers and win the west but I bet we could make a surprising run at the wild card. This rotation is pretty nasty so hopefully we can continue to hit the ball well.

Walkoff win by our team MVP to bring us to .500 at the all star break
Couldn't have ended the 1st half in a better way

Are we buyers OR sellers at the trade deadline?

Are Bartolo and Coco worth selling off at this stage? It looks like we'll have to gauge the next 10 games to find out.

I think we trade Colon and Crisp. Give the young guys a biegger chance. Gowith a rotation of McCarthy Parker Milone Blackley Griffin. And Brett Anderson should be back in a month or so and maybe Braden

Trade Crisp.
In the outfield go with Smith Cespy Reddick. Let Carter be full time DH or 1B and Moss do the other. Or keep Carter and Moss at the platoon at 1B, keep Smith at DH and call up Michael Taylor to be our LF before he rots in triple A

There, move to Sac town instead of SJ. KJ wants you.

The River Cats have been a success in Sac thus far. I'm just not sure if a MLB team can sustain itself in Sac long-term. That's 35k-40k seats to fill each night x 81 dates.

I saw somewher that the river cats are the most valuable minor league team. Don't know if I want the A's in sac though. Idk if that does good or bad for keeping the kings

It's a plan B, in case the Kings bolt. Highly unlikely chance that THIS A's ownership goes through with a Sacramento project.

I think it's safe to say we have something good going on here in Oakland. This team has been absolutely rolling. They found a good platoon at first base and our bench guys are producing at a great level. Carter has been great in his stint with the team lately.

The pitching staff has held their own and been solid.

I hope this team ends up being buyers rather than sellers. I like the core guys.

Shout out to the one hundred of A's fans through out the nation. They're playing great baseball. I think they're in the wild card hunt.

If A's make it in to the playoffs, I think they definitely have a chance.
