guys we're playing the A's. I don't know if you've heard but Billy has been reduced to a platoon DH who is no longer an everyday player. He's batting .167. Its v sad. He's on year 2 of a 3 year deal. Look for the A's to release him at some point this season and just eat the money. he's done.

the speed at which he got there wasn't the shocking part.  it was the catch itself and the subsequent double play.

that's what i mean about it being a stupid stat.  it adds nothing to anyone's appreciation of the play.

I think that speed considering he was looking straight up looking for the ball makes it somewhat impressive.  More difficult than stealing a base or running a 100 meter dash

It was only a couple years ago that I loved west coast games because of the late start. But these days no. No thank you.

I'd love to hear some industry insider perspective on "Moneyball" the movie and its effect on Beane and the A's. Very few decisions have worked out well the last few years. Whatever edge they had on skills and game angles that had been undervalued must be completely gone.

the start time is perfect, it's the local blackout that's annoying.

I think it will cycle back around and they'll be good again. From 07-11 they missed the playoffs and then had 3 good years in a row. In 14 they were the best team in the AL from April-July, and if they win that Wildcard game you never know what might've happened.

True. Easy to say in retrospect, but that deal for Smardija burned them. I saw Addison Russell play against the Royals AA team a couple days before that trade, and he and Billy Burns looked awesome.
