What a game, Chapman hits a solo shot in the 1st and then that's it...and Laureano does it again, that throw might have saved the game.

Somewhat surprising that the starters are locked in already. Bullpen not far behind, but still getting in a groove.

Horrible baserunning in that situation. Not only did he hesitate going to third, but you cant take a risk like that in the 9th inning.
Amazing throw, but should never have happened.

He couldn't believe Laureano could do it again!

Not sure why people even bother trying to run on Laureano any more. Ridiculous arm in the outfield.

And he puts up these numbers playing 81 games at the Coliseum, just think what he could do playing in one of the bandboxes.

Happy for the A's and happy for A's fans that Khris Davis re-signed.
I just wish that A's fans and their marketing team would try not to be so petty when it comes to things like twitter. There was absolutely no need to take a subtle shot at Kevin Durant when announcing this extension. Just like there is no need for the A's to constantly take shots at the Giants with their marketing campaigns.
Its just not necessary. There is a way to praise your own team and players without having to portray your organization as a jealous stepchild. Most Giants fans I know root for the A's to an extent. Wish this was reciprocated by A's fans, but its the exact opposite in most cases.
This extension was great news for the A's, for Davis, and for A's fans. That is all it should have been about.
