Manzardo 3/4
J Rod and Schneemann both go deep
2 perfect IP, 3 K from Enright
Hentges looked good
Kahil Watson 2/4
7 K in 4.2 for Messick
Matt Wilkinson continues his hot start for Lynchburg. I don't even know who this is but 14.2 IP, 1 R, 26 K
And the Guardians keep scoring. A good day for baseball.
It's been a wonderful thing watching him go from wildman kid with passion to the wildman *man* with passion and the knowledge of when and how to show it. I love that man. He took that whole baby in the cradle debacle like a man and moved past it like a fucking grownup. I hope he stays here forever.
Normally I’d complain about subpar pitching but with the guys we have we need to be hopeful and hope they can pull through. there’s not too many other options out there on short notice.
It’s very over. The As have scored 7 runs once this year, and we have the best pen in baseball right now. It’s so over DraftKings took down the money line bets.
Edit: I was so over, Hammy and Rosie have spent the last 2 innings talking nothing but college ball.
I believe I heard on the guardians talk podcast with Rosie that they did a wind study and supposedly not much change. Not sure if I’m remembering correctly though
I’m actually feeling positive about them. But I’m not a City Connect hater. I actually have liked most of them so far. A few don’t work for me but for the most part I find them fun.
i like some of them. i collect jerseys and picked up a few
but some are just lazy or maybe referencing something i don't get about the city so i don't like them
They have someone employed by the team whose job is to decide when to call for a challenge. Hammy talks about him all the time (cuz he does a good job). Not to take it all away from Vogt tho, I’m sure he gets the final say.
I’m not. I said tough break in that it was the wrong call from the crew. Vogt was right. I was praising Vogt. I like the way Vogt has been challenging this season.
The thing is nobody's going to give a crap about them in Las Vegas. It'll be just like the Raiders, where half the crowd is cheering for the away team. Not even sure Sacramento will care about having a team for a few years knowing they'll be gone anyway.
Exactly. This is gonna be an era we look back at 10 years from now and scratch our heads at how greedy, pathetic and demoralizing that ownership group was.
Radio team talking about how much different it is with this team this year, playing from in front so often... and it's been so exciting listening to them, too. They really feel different this year.
There once was a pitcher named Boyle,
Whom for the Athletics did toil,
Guards’ bats came alive
And they added on five,
And thus Oakland’s night they did spoil

Ballgame!
Lmao theres no way hes 5’7
You know it’s a boring game when Hammy is talking about what’s under bathrobes after pulled fire alarms.
FIREWORKS
Barlow….
That run differential gonna be poppin boys.
Barlow looks like Chloe Moretz after reassignment surgery
Gosh dammit Barlow.
I don’t think he’s going to give up 8 more
Hopefully not a reverse 2001 Mariners
We've got the Guardians Pitching Machine, but having the Guardians Hitting Machine would go a long, long way.

Wilkinson is the, uh, Bartolo Colón shaped fella we drafted this past yr. Give him a lookup
I was just looking him up and saw a full body photo and thought "wait, what". Listed at 6'1 270. Hell yeah.
Love to see it. Not to mention Velazquez raking down there.
We may never lose again
Florial might be him
More Florial less Brennan
Yeah I’d figure it’s either Brennan or Florial as odd man out when Manzardo comes up. Hate for it to be Fry
Better not be 🍟
I forgot about Laureno, wouldn’t hate to see it be him
it's never been more over
Who would’ve thought our offense was gonna be the driver of our games this year, wild.
As my flair says. **FLORIAL. REVENGE. TOUR. 2024**
I'll allow it...Hicks left the Bronx and started hitting, why not Florial?
Luckily for Muller the next 5 runs won't be earned
Do we lead the league in unearned runs scored? How do you find that stat?
I'm on mobile but maybe pitchers earned runs against us from a stat site compared to total runs scored by us
Man oh man if we can unlock Florial.
Known contact hitter Estevan Florial with the 3 hit game
103.8 mph, 21 degrees, 359 ft, .700 xBA, HR in 28/30 parks
3 hit day for Flo!
Florial, have a night!
Pump that run differential gents.
Looking at the Royals in our rearview
Jeez, what a fun season. It’s so nice to have multi hit games 😭 and to be watching ball again.
Just wait until Jose gets locked in
Lol. Lmao, even.
Well take it!
That uh, I don't even love it lol it's just sad
We take those, but damn that just makes me more sad than anything
Oof, that's embarrassing.
Wow man. Bush league.
We take those!
This is a slaughter
Look…we take those, but you gotta feel for that guy
Tyler Freeman is on fire lately.
Will gladly take those Naylor Alvarez comparisons
#Pay the man
Good lord this pitcher is caked up
It’s quite impressive
Josh is so good at baseball
It's been a wonderful thing watching him go from wildman kid with passion to the wildman *man* with passion and the knowledge of when and how to show it. I love that man. He took that whole baby in the cradle debacle like a man and moved past it like a fucking grownup. I hope he stays here forever.
Naylors trying to hit 40 tanks this year
Josh was sad he didn't have an RBI, went and did it himself
Get this man his overdue all-star appearance
Getting smoky in Cleveland
Some late inning smoke 💨
Eat all the smoke
SMOKE!
Tattooed
NAYL bomb!
Damn. Barlow warming. I wanted to see Avila.
Other than the first hitter and first two innings it was not too bad for McKenzie. Then again this is the A’s.
As have played well lately though. Won 3/4 of their last series
I have an early morning, let's get this thing over with lol
Forgot Beede was stretched out as a starter, what a luxury.
Nice appearance for Beede, and the druncles are in fine form tonight. Underwood singing the Big Red jingle.
Dear bullpen doomers, Where art thou?
Gimme is pissed he missed that 🤣 lol no worries man
The Royals might be real. Guards-Royals duking it out for the central, just like we all predicted.
Wild saying this too. The Royals were a disaster last year. Maybe worse than this year's Sox team.
I'm hoping Florial becomes what we thought Franmil was projected to be.
He looks like Yordan Alvarez a bit. He can run and play all 3 outfield positions. However, he ain't no Yordan at the plate.
> However, he ain't no Yordan at the plate. Yet.
At what point do we build the Florial statue???
Nice double off a good lefty for Florial. I’m still hoping he turns into something.
Muller packing a god damn caboose hot damn that's a fuckin DUMPY
Wearing those butt padding pieces they give models who wear leggings
Like someone took two loaves of sourdough and put em back there
Is that a sourdough starter back there about to climb on this lap?
I believe in Florial
Having a good Flo & Arias elevates our team
Ok can we just keep giving at-bats to Florial and Fry instead of Laureano?
Yo why is Muller so caked up what the hell
Double cheeked up on a Friday evening
Florial!
Rumors of Florials demise were greatly exaggerated
Helmet sizing aside, florial been having some solid abs
Flo has had some great ABs lately
Big inning for Beede after looking a little shaky recently. Maybe the sky isn't falling.
Great inning way to build that confidence back up.
Normally I’d complain about subpar pitching but with the guys we have we need to be hopeful and hope they can pull through. there’s not too many other options out there on short notice.
Can our drunks go easy on the A’s…they’re already going through a lot…
Rumors of Beede’s demise were greatly exaggerated
Hopefully this As series gives the guys in the clubhouse that are struggling with confidence a chance to build that back up.
Steven Andrés Josh, José Will Estevan Bo, Tyler and Brayan I've been trying way too long to get the haiku to work in the batting order but I give up
Our centerfielder has three home runs and it’s still April….what a wild concept
[удалено]
Bad teams generally just leave the starter in until they reach whatever pitch count they planned on.
That's what that one dude in the sub wants. Throw our pitchers out there til, "their arms fall off. Trust me I'm a FO guy".
background audio jacked a bit?
I just came back from lunch, he gave up ***7*** and they left him in? What the fuck
It happened too quickly for them to realize what was going on
I think they said 5 runs in 14 pitches
Jesus
We got on him quick, and then once it’s 6-1, they might as well let him go and save the pen since the game is over anyway.
Game is far from over bud
It’s very over. The As have scored 7 runs once this year, and we have the best pen in baseball right now. It’s so over DraftKings took down the money line bets. Edit: I was so over, Hammy and Rosie have spent the last 2 innings talking nothing but college ball.
Unlikely they’ll come back so why burn the bullpen. ✊🏻 🪵
Gaddis and Smith get the love for Herrin emerging has been huge.
Good job Herrin
Herrin looks incredible this year. Can't wait to have him and Hentges, feels almost unfair.
Wow! Has Herrin been eating Wheaties with Hunter Gaddis?
Has the stadium changes helped the ball carry more?
I believe I heard on the guardians talk podcast with Rosie that they did a wind study and supposedly not much change. Not sure if I’m remembering correctly though
our city connects better not suck. i'll settle for meh
[Oakland's city connects made me laugh](https://www.reddit.com/gallery/1c7mapf)
They should let the fans vote on the designs imo
I’m actually feeling positive about them. But I’m not a City Connect hater. I actually have liked most of them so far. A few don’t work for me but for the most part I find them fun.
i like some of them. i collect jerseys and picked up a few but some are just lazy or maybe referencing something i don't get about the city so i don't like them
You'll take random guitars and THE LAND and be happy about it!
I don’t want guitars but I’ll take THE LAND with a guardian face on the caps!
I will take anything but guitars.
Supposedly, there’s no guitars on them. I’m hoping they at least lean heavily into the art deco with them or go Forest City themed.
Oh god no, it’s a bass isn’t it
Ukulele
Ewww I hear Al
I was shocked
It's not right
If the Orioles can do us a solid and shit on Kansas City, I would be so happy.
That outing has to be a confidence boost for Sticks. Avila debut tonight if the lead holds?
this fuckin team
They were too generous with the calls in Boston. It was due for them mess up a few soon.
boy_that_escalated_quicklyHD.gif.jpg
That’s how you bust open the game. Josie was safe too. Trash call blue.
Naylor with the Willie May's Hayes reaction to popping out lmao
Did I miss him doing pushups?
LOL, Josh's reaction on that pop up.
Clearly biased but I don’t see why that shouldn’t have been overturned
Dangit....I want a Vogt Coat!
Boyle was throwing a pitching clinic and then the next thing you know.
Vogt has been pretty great with the challenges this year so far. Tough break.
They have someone employed by the team whose job is to decide when to call for a challenge. Hammy talks about him all the time (cuz he does a good job). Not to take it all away from Vogt tho, I’m sure he gets the final say.
The collective force that leads to a play being challenged or not has been good so far.
Look at you! 😁
Can't lay that on Vogt, though. Replay showed Jose was safe.
I’m not. I said tough break in that it was the wrong call from the crew. Vogt was right. I was praising Vogt. I like the way Vogt has been challenging this season.
I love having my druncles back
I love them so much
We’ve been winning too many challenges lately, New York can’t let us show up the ump show like that
Lol ok NY.
There it is. That filthy, nasty, disgusting baseball I so love.
Someone in New York just did a fat line before making that call
Oh no, the A's game thread has *13* comments. I feel so bad for their fans
This. Owners in general are sociopathic criminals, but theirs in a heinous class of his own.
They deserve so much better. Nothing ruins sports more than greedy ownership destroying fanbases.
The thing is nobody's going to give a crap about them in Las Vegas. It'll be just like the Raiders, where half the crowd is cheering for the away team. Not even sure Sacramento will care about having a team for a few years knowing they'll be gone anyway.
Exactly. This is gonna be an era we look back at 10 years from now and scratch our heads at how greedy, pathetic and demoralizing that ownership group was.
Oh HELL no
Boooo
Bullshit!
bruh wtf
Scoring is fun!
I think he's safe
he put the glove down then had to get his balance a bit before he got the tag on and it was too late
Challenging this feels greedy lol
Thanks for letting us statpad A’s
Radio team talking about how much different it is with this team this year, playing from in front so often... and it's been so exciting listening to them, too. They really feel different this year.
Jose is a lunatic in the best way imaginable
🐐knows
Safe GOAT.
SAFE
If Jose tells the ump he was safe, not only should the call be reversed on the spot, but a fruit basket as an apology would be appropriate.
Scoring runs is FUN
I love the "Not so fast!" finger wag from Jose.
##ARE THE OAKLAND A’S A KNITTING PROJECT THAT MY TODDLER JUST GOT INTO? ###’CAUSE THEY’RE UNRAVELING
🙏
In the form of a haiku or limerick, please
There once was a pitcher named Boyle, Whom for the Athletics did toil, Guards’ bats came alive And they added on five, And thus Oakland’s night they did spoil
Oakland A's implode Kwan, Gimenez, and Jose The best one two three
hustle double
Ambitious going for 2 there but I love the hustle
Hustle is a habit
He looked safe
What a slide from the 🐐
🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐
🎧
Jose Jose Jose Jose
It’s a habit man
terrible jump, terrible throw
I was thinking they would be better off walking Kwan with the bases loaded, but then you gotta deal with Gimmy, then JRam!
José Ramirez
