Interesting to see a depiction of the 2023 Red Sox defense by Oakland!

A's are a sad looking 4A type team at this point.

They need to give Valdez a double on that one
104 mph, 400 feet, .880 xBA, it's only fair

Reese never hit a ball this hard all last year as he has so far this season

A’s playing defense like the 2023 Red Sox lol 3 errors and 4 outs would even make the 2023 Red Sox blush

it has been a thought that has crossed my mind on occasion. His play in the field still makes him valuable. He’s also misplaced batting 3rd sorry...to you and all the others...at 22 million, his value is very limited as a defensive first guy. I acknowledge he is fantastic and a joy to watch play defense (love watching him), but if he doesn't hit, it is clear overpay and a (TBD) waste of resources.

If they don’t sweep, something will have gone horribly wrong

The Coliseum is such a s--- hole that they don't even have foul ball protection for the players in the dugout.

If I were Rickey Henderson, I'd be calling people trying to see if I could get my name taken off the field.

I agree, but at this point it is sunk cost, so I am going to focus on the good.

I know the A’s suck (and traded away Matt Olson, Matt Chapman, Sean Murphy, Bassitt, & Montas for… something?). But going back to their series against us last year… at some point how much of their bad fundamentals is on their coaching staff? Like it’s one thing to just be less talented than your opponents, but there’s so many little things they constantly screw up

Frustrating night for Story so far

Duran with 4 SBs already. I feel like that would be the season leader for my childhood Sox.
Side note: bouncing the pitch after Raffy hit one to Santa Cruz might have been *good* command.

It really is time to drop Story down in the order. He has to be pressing at this point.

the city of Oakland,and A's fans, have to wait out 4 more years of this. I don't know if that is righteous.

I was really hoping there would be a huge improvement over last year in driving in RISP. So far not great.

Yes it's Oakland but Tanner looks good.

With the large caveat of this being the A's, Houck looks sharp.
