As poor as our offense has been at times this season, we're about to play one a lot worse. Oakland's team line is .232/.307/.304. No typos there. That's a .611 OPS and .072 ISO. With Kazmir, Garza, and Sonnanstine going, it's not much of a stretch to say we could sweep the A's by scoring three runs.

Are the A's starting any LHP?

If so, he’ll become Sandy Koufax Jr.

Crawford's AB v Aardsma was a disgrace

So was Uptons and Longorias

Upton 3 straight whiffs. The M’s didn’t even whiff that many times the whole game vs Neimann? Longoria looked very ugly also. He took a CC type swing and luckily made contact.

Those were the three ugliest ABs I’ve seen from the Rays all year.

The approach this team has at the plate

needs much work

They should watch Burrell, while he has done nothing power-wise his OBP is outstanding

Yesterday alone he was able to get into scoring position twice

I like Upton, but at some point he needs to actually do something

You have the worst LT memory ever. You hop from player to player. This guy stinks. That guy stinks. Fire the hitting coach. Give it a rest.

No really

the top of the order and Navi are killing this offense

i’m probably more passionate about this team tan most, to the point i can barely watch when the opposition is AB, but i can also call it like it is, and a different approach, ala Toronto may be forthcoming
