Saturday

Lots of Oakland fans were super salty about them not playing Friday because they got swept in the Saturday doubleheader and the fans insist that the A's would have won with 9th inning magic

We're right

Instant Replay is Fine.

It's not perfect but it is better than nothing.

My contention is that it is not

3 days ago: Matt Chapman probably won't hit IL

Today: Matt Chapman done for the season

Guess it's Olson's team now

I had the same surgery a couple years ago. My hip still kinda hurts sometimes but I was able to get back to hockey and tennis and baseball at the adult recreational level without incident!

i'm sure it'll be fine but it really came out of nowhere and gives me Eric Chavez flashbacks of a franchise third baseman cut down by injuries

Don't a lot of defensive stats take multiple seasons to be regarded as stable? I feel like just in general, even if the stat is decent, fielding stats in an abbreviated season are just going to be innately shaky

the fangraphs defensive rating thing I think adjusts really really hard for position which is why Matt Olson is a comfortable career negative despite being probably the best defensive first basemen in the game the last few years. Mookie's at or near the top in like every overall fielding stat I could think to check among RFs

So all they’ve got is the testimony of cops saying he “smelled like alcohol”...?

Edited to add: ok I think they took a blood sample as well so they’re waiting on the toxicology report.

I don’t know how much interest this is to everybody btw so mods lmk if you want to shut down DUI chat in here

Not a mod obviously and thank god but I don't see why a fairly high ranking prospect potentially going to jail for years wouldn't be regarded as newsworthy for the baseball thread, and for whatever it's worth while I don't have a lot to say about it I'm interested in what happens and appreciate the updates
