Drub the Athletics Thread: DAT Rebirth


Like a phoenix, our Astros have risen from the ashes. The Houston Road Warriors return to their happy place. I know it's a bit sappy, but I've prepared a poem I'd like to share with you...

Roses are red
Violets are blue
frick the A's
Let's get a sweep!

I was full of "lol" when the A's signed Edwin Jackson....then I looked at his stats.

Last 3 starts:

19.1 Innings pitched
0 ER
11 hits allowed.



Sumbitch threw 110 pitches last time out vs. the Angels and seems to be getting stronger since they acquired him and brought him up in June. In 9 starts, he has allowed 2 ER or fewer in 7 of them.

Tonight won't be easy.

Our favorite AAAA player is back to raking at Fresno. Since being sent down JD Davis has had 18 ABs, 7 hits, 6 HRs...

I read it as a soliloquy...as if a character in a Shakespeare play was off somewhere reading aloud to himself and staring off into the distance, talking to nobody in particular...

Thank the Lord for Lsuhoohoo.

Also Edwin Jackson has been a sensational signing for the A's, but hopefully tonight we make it not the case.

Has he pitched against a World Series caliber team? I think not. We'll knock him into submission.

We're 41-18 on the road this year, which means we ain't losing on this road trip. Not once. 9-0.

Yeah Transaction Jackson will eventually revert to who he’s been for his 23 season/24 team career, no better time than the present

I remember when Edwin Jackson threw 149 pitches in a no-hitter... he gave up 8 walks.

I can't imagine any manager letting someone throw 149 pitches in today's game.

Wasn’t that AJ?

ETA: I suppose that was the joke

Bro I need my radio maps. There has been a correlation between lack of wins and lack of radio maps in the DAT
