Considering the important things this morning. Who you taking with Skenes on the mound vs that AAAA ball club?

Offseason thread!

Did you eat a lot of paint chips as a child?

We would get destroyed lol. We prolly couldn’t even beat Single A teams. The jump in talent is insane from college to MiLB/MLB.

In one game? definitely.

College teams beat MLB teams in spring training all the time. It really all comes down to the starting pitching.

Skenes would have to go at least 8 innings though.

We would get beat down by every team in the big leagues. With Skenes on the mound, we could hold our own against AA and below I would think. Those are grown men who have been professionally trained in the big leagues.

Are they using wood bats or metal bats?

If wood bats…then no.

If metal bats…then no.

Oakland has won 4 games in a row against actual MLB teams.

One of the reasons I like college sports is that anything can happen. They aren't pros. There are missed catches, over throws, wild pitches. I like the unpredictability.

The difference in skill level between a college team and a pro team is absurd.

0-0 Tie (after 9) possibly is the only thing to hope for but prolly not.

2-0 Athletics

We absolutely could take a game from them. A whole series is unlikely but on a one game scenario absolutely we could beat them
