Mason Miller doing his best early-season Iglesias impression tonight: one pitch, tie game versus the Astros. Didn’t realize Miller had been so bad this season, in terms of results. Would be interesting as a buy-low, if the A’s were willing to sell low.

lol

Braves playing down to the Rockies’ level of defense.

Other option: Holmes is elite now.

For sure. It’s there; he’s just finally being smart in using it (or not, when unnecessary).

Good. Stay safe. No unnecessary risks to the legs. Dude is too important to the offense to have him stealing constantly.

Long live Iglesias, ace middle-reliever.

Riley will be fine longterm. He’s still socking the shit out of the ball; his timing just sucks right now. Ozzie is the heart & soul, so he stays regardless. That leaves SS and OF. Bichette and Tucker. Easy peasy.

Both starting SS with warning-track power. At least Allen has elite defense to go along with it.

I’m Bill Shanks, so I have reason to believe it couldn’t be me.

I’ve been told they expect him back this season, and they expect him to pitch in the pen. As for 2026, however, I wouldn’t be surprised if they tried to stretch him out again.

He’d still probably write a book faster than George R R Martin.

Agreed here. Either they turn it around, or they take the big bonus pool next draft, and retool this offseason in a big way for one more multi-season push with this core. Either way, don’t see a full punt on this season—though some selective selling (Iglesias if he rebounds in lower leverage...

They need to hit more bombs. Plain and simple.

Don’t you talk shit about my boy. Ozzie inaugurated the current turnaround way back when. He’s a ride-or-die.

Homers are good.

Optionable depth that can be cut at any time without remorse?

Umps remain terrible at calling balls and strikes.

Ditching Arcía quickly as the starter has been huge in getting the season’s dismal start turned around.
