This isn't a .626 team, though. You can't convince me this lineup is going to produce 101 wins, which is what they are currently on pace to accumulate.

wonder why the fukk they got hammels when they could have got russell or a real 2nd baseman

Dude, what's not convincing here, OAK have the best hitting, pitching and fielding staff after 90+ games

leetreaper · 07-10-14, 04:41 PM

I guarantee you they have more than a 100 wins this year and not even close...

Because like Alfredo Simon, past performance doesn't necessarily indicate future success.

Oakland has had an inordinate amount of timely hitting so far this year. No team can keep that up all season long.

Good luck tonight!

Tough to go against a 4 game sweep esp. between teams with talent gap like Mets and Braves, hope they come back for ya though...

1Time! · 07-10-14, 06:51 PM

Stupid question but why is Colon not hitting last?

BigDofBA · 07-10-14, 06:54 PM

4-0 Balty!

Please let me have a decent night tonight without unnecessary sweating.

I hardly ever say this about baseball, but last night's SD/LAD game was really fishy. Every time the Dodgers had a chance to take a 2-run lead, they completely shut down offensively. I'll take it, but there was something not quite right about that. Puig and Kemp specifically. They had some really horrific at-bats.

Nice hits with ATL and BAL.

As usual, Harang somehow stranded like 20 guys on base. And I'm not sure how Washington didn't score in the 8th to tie it. Typical Nats choke job.

Oh well. Stupid bet on my part and I knew it. Thanks leet.

4-3, +0.18U yesterday
277-280, +26.63U thread

Not much to write home about lately. Feel like I'm barely treading water.

BigDofBA · 07-11-14, 03:03 PM

Coin, you're exactly right about the LA game.

LA had plenty of chances to blow that wide open.

They were 2 for 13 with runners in scoring position with seven strikeouts! Many by Kemp and Puig just watching balls down the middle when putting the ball in play would have most likely scores a run.

There were several times in that game in which LA had a guy at third with less than two outs and didn't score. Those involved strikeouts looking by guys in the middle of the order.

I also liked how the second the Padres scored and then La immediately scored the next half inning after being inept all game.

LA RL never had a chance. You were on the "right side".

I saw a lot of people taking LA -1.5.

LA -1.5 was a bad play conspiracy shit or not...

KRIT · 07-11-14, 03:14 PM

Yeah the RL was square. LAD -300 was the sharp play.

leetreaper · 07-11-14, 03:15 PM

Padres were 15-3 against the RL vs dodgers with a terrific solid on the mound, no fukking brainer, not to mention against Kershaw with 30+ scoreless innings...

BigDofBA · 07-11-14, 03:19 PM

The Padres pitcher last night had an era over 6 in the minors but has been unhittable his first few starts in the majors.

Makes no sense.

Yeah, but i think before last game he had 2-3 starts with 0 era which tells you hes capable at least...

BigDofBA · 07-11-14, 04:35 PM

Not seeing much tonight.

Lots of juice.

Maybe Pirates?

Shark · 07-11-14, 05:08 PM

think haren cracks tonight. what about you guys?

BigDofBA · 07-11-14, 05:26 PM

I like the Hahn kid from the Padres.

I was thinking about that one as well.

Yeah, me too.

I always struggle right before and after the ASB. Need to remind myself to slow the f\*\*k down.

BigDofBA · 07-11-14, 05:44 PM

Yeah Coin, looking at the board I see a lot of landmines.

I don't feel like going 2-2 or 1-3 and losing a lot of juice.

I'm considering the following dogs but not sure yet.

Padres
Jays
Yankees

Also leaning Red Sox, Bucs, and Mets.

Sox feel ultra square against Houston though. Boston isn't good.

BigDofBA · 07-11-14, 05:50 PM

Might parlay Cleveland and the Mets.

Angle? Lebron left Miami (fade) and went to Cleveland.

Lmao.

BigDofBA · 07-11-14, 05:53 PM

I like wheeler and aside from last night, Mets have had hot bets.

No coincidences · 07-11-14, 05:59 PM

Why are the Reds a PK at home vs. Locke and the Bucs?
