If the A's win the division, Chapman has to get MVP votes right??

Wow, today vs Angels he made one of the most incredible throws I've ever seen live (on tv in this case)...he was playing CF, made nice running catch at the track in left-center, then wheeled around and threw a strike in the air to 1B to double-up the runner.

Maybe top 10 . The top 5 is pretty much set with these guys...
  • Mike Trout
  • Mookie Betts
  • Franciso Lindor
  • Jose Ramirez
  • JD Martinez

That play was absolutely filthy.

38-12 in the past 50 after beating Seattle last night. Their best run since 2005.
That was worth keeping the TV on for.

Very impressive. Never would have seen this coming to be honest. Did they get more than 15K in the stadium tonight? The lack of fan support for this team is pretty awful even with the pathetic stadium they play in.

We were almost going to start watching a movie after end of 8th inning, but then I pulled rank and said it's only a run, let's watch the 9th...then had to stick with it once they tied it up.

I know the Beanius will soon enough find a way to rip the soul out of this team like he's done before, so will enjoy this run while it lasts which hopefully is at least more than the WC game.
Great win last night
