    How many of you are drinking the Samardzija Kool-Aid?

    Gut feeling is he's going to crash and burn.

    Everybody and their puppy dog loves him and the A's today.

    I think the books clean up on this one.

    Took Oak live -106 last night and felt like donating it back I guess. My dumb ass backed the Jays and already got a bad feeling only down 1-0. This team really sucks and I hope/sure they will crash and burn as season progresses.

    Oakland's going to be virtually unbeatable

    He's pitching very well so far

    How were the books throwing the public a bone with Oak -160 lol?? Just feel stupid cause the kool aid Im drinking on this one tastes like piss. Only bone I've seen the books give away all day was the free layup they gave to Giants backers. What was up with that late movement?!?

    padres really suck at offense/winning in general, they need a shutout to get anything done

    Doyers another layup that line shot down right before close. Rocks got some guys back but might not be till after the break they get clicking again and get that offense in gear.

    Samardzija is amazing. he's in the 7th and still throwing pitches with high velocity and movement. No doubt this guy is an ace.

    Hopefully Oakland will sign him next year

    Oak could be a dynasty if they spend money

    Encarnacion obviously missed last night and today. Samardjia is a perfect fit for thr A's. Absolutely perfect. He looked like an A before he got there and his presser yesterday was refreshing. A's are def going to be free money all summer

    He's going to have a 2nd half like Rick Sutcliffe in 1984.

    Did not wager the A's game, it was just a thought.
    I had Price last night btw, but, I got screwed on a prop bet I made.

    I think this move helps get the A's to the World Series. Samardzija will prove to be a HUGE acquisition! If anyone would crash and burn it would probably be Hammel.

    I think just the opposite. People are overrating one start by Shark. I would bet on Hammel being more reliable down the stretch.

    Hammel will not be expected to do much and i doubt he will be in the post season rotation.

    But Hammel is a decent 5 starter.

    I think he will regress, but def not crash and burn. Oakland has an okay schedule going forward too so that will help.

    Further, its now been almost a year of him putting up great stats, so I do not see any real reason as to why he would crash and burn...

    I think he will be a solid 3.50-4.00 ERA type pitcher

    crash and burn thats the dumbest shit ive ever heard. Guy has filthy stuff and now he finally has a team around him. The A's now have 3 legit aces.

    Mets actually hit LHP well, Minor gets dinged up.
