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

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

I have seen more people in the stands at a T ball game. it was a disgusting, but successful tactic by the owner. Financial austerity ownership. A's have quite a history for having had some horrible owners.

Like to see those bats come alive in Anaheim. Angels actually picked up a win over the O's today.

Bullpen holding well with one exception. Starters too.

Everyone’s talking about the bullpen but personally I find the small ball decisions in the tenth far more egregious. Terrible bunt and a caught stealing? Gross. Cost them at least two runs and maybe more. Valdez bunting against a righty with Reyes and a pinch-hitting McGuire due up next was a terrible decision. Don't know if it was Valdez' or Cora's. A major league hitter CANT pop a bunt up there. That was little league level bad.

Big picture, small sample size: So far Bailey looks to be a net positive. He is not going to be able to turn chicken bleep into chicken salad every time as we witnessed last night though.

Can we get someone go find the Jordan’s Furniture guy and upgrade Kenley’s mattress Managing his back all season? Hard to imagine another team taking him on if that is the case.

Raffy is hurt, Casas and Story not hitting. Rafaela is really the only offensive bright spot at the moment.

Don't forget they got their first inning run with more butchery in the field too.

If all goes well, Joely will be sent packing and Bernardino brought up. No idea what Cora sees in him. Just a horrendous performance and decision. The second I saw him enter the game.....

Maybe this explains velocity drop and control issues.

Driveline connection in play?Video is from August, the Rays signed him in January. So the RedSox weren't that interested. Now the Driveline boys are on board and the RedSox pick him up That was my first thought. I guess those guys best case, are another set of eyes for possible talent acquisition.

78 wins. Too much has to go right to expect more. If enough of the kids show development, I will call it a win.

I dont think I need to tell you guys how badly this team needs Story to carry over his hot spring. But I will.

I'd like to see more from Bello first. I know the talent is there but I want to see consistency for a while.

After watching him struggle in Anaheim last season I was luke warm at best when they signed him. Was never really sure what it was about him that drew Breslow, probably the short contract I guess. Anyway the whole throw stuff against the wall and see what sticks approach to building a staff has left a lot to be desired for a while. Hopefully the kids in the minors give us something to feel good about this summer.

Rafaela and Raffy have been the highlight of spring training so far.
