A's line down from -215 to -181.

[Zeus54]

Took the one consistantly power bat out the lineup. The lineup looks like shit on paper right now. Not even talking about Csespedes cannon for an arm either. There gonna miss the post season you watch...

Too laughable seeing SBR retards like this try to sound baseball savvy.

The A's will continue to roll without Cespedes. Lots of you are overvaluing the fukk out of Cespedes, probably because OMGZ 2 TIME HR DERBY CHAMP!!! That spic Cespedes has the same WAR as Sam Fuld lol. How often have you clowns even watched A's games? Stay in your lane, morons.

Problem is, you have a bunch of cats -- Donaldson, Norris, Moss, Vogt, etc. -- who are careering it this year. Do you really think they're going to overachieve against elite pitching in September and October?

NC, I think they are that good. I don't normally jump on bandwagons, but these guys can plain rake.

Lmfao.

The only one who is really ''careering'' it is Stephen Vogt. Donaldson is not even as good as he was last year. But, but, but he made the All Star team this year and not last year, so he must be careering it! Brandon Moss hit a combined 51 homers in 1.5 seasons with the A's prior to this year. Guy is careering it in 2014, though!

Also, there is really not much ''elite pitching'' to be found in the AL, especially since the A's have most of it LOL.

SBR retards really suck at trying to sound like they know their shit about baseball.

Norris hitting .303. He's a career .250 hitter.
Vogt hitting .333. He's a .276 career hitter.
Donaldson has 23 homers in 415 at-bats this season (one per 18 AB), yet only 57 in 1,297 for his career (22.8).
Moss has 23 homers in 347 at-bats this season (one per 15.1 AB), yet only 89 in 1,763 for his career (19.8).

We'll see where the A's are in October. At home, like usual. They are the Tigers' postseason bitch.

I will take Price rather than Lester any given day... hands down...

I don't know anything....but I do believe that this year's squad is very different....and I don't have any skin in the game.

Thanks for the stats. Chili Davis is a damn good hitting coach!

Only halfway serious there. I'm guessing a lot of it is luck, but having so many guys improve on the A's does make you wonder if at least part of it is due to good approach and instruction, and situational management.

EDIT: As far as the Tigers beating the A's 3-2 for the past two years in the playoffs, they've been pretty close to beating a team with a payroll that's $100,000,000.00 more. I wonder if the Tigers front office pat themselves on the back for beating the A's with that money with no world series titles to show for it.

whata dumbass thread.. that line movement really made a difference huh?

[JeffTheShark]

whata dumbass thread.. that line movement really made a difference huh?

So if a line moves from -10,000 to -2000, and then they still win, the line movement wasn't relevant? Bad logic. There's usually a reason for big line movement. We won't always know why, but there is usually some kind of rationale.

seems like most of the time this year small to big line movement means nothing. not sure who would ever lay -2000+ though

Pavy nails one.
Reverse line movement doesn't throw a slider.
Reverse line movement doesn't hit a fastball out of the park either.

When the Yankees or Tigers draft a guy named Line Movement, then I'll pay attention.

Lol, just noticed GT21's post count. 2.3k since late December? lmao

It's alright though, plenty of SBR folk are complete loser shut-ins. You're definitely not alone, buddy.

Great trade for Sam fuld. Lol. Let him be the table setter.

0-21

A's first 6 batters against James Shields today.

Haha, they have no dominant batter or someone you want to into intentionally walk.

This lineup is horrid.

Angels WILL win the west.

The A's have won exactly one playoff series since '98 despite having 10 years of 87 wins or more in the regular season, and this dude is calling out another franchise for choking.

The one confusing thing about this thread is the sudden hate for the A's. Like Yankees-esque hate lmao. Guess they must be doing something right this season to piss off the masses on SBR.
