I was just about to say, if Freddy shuts you guys out it might be time for a closed-door meeting.

tapDo you mind me asking why?Think of it in a playoff series. If pitchers and position players are all healthy, how do you not fear the Angels at least somewhat? I think they match up well against Texas. Pitching, hitting, base running, defense...the Angels are solid.No, I definitely see Oakland as the bigger threat than LA right now.Trout is doing stupid good things and seems to really be relaxing that team as a whole.The way Josh is looking and the way the pitching staff is taking longer and longer to get healthy, I will not count anyone out. Hell, even Oakland is putting on some pressure.

Called up to Spokane. Took a couple games to get a feel. 2 HR's tonight. 1 was a grand slam. Really like what this kid is doing.

Seattle is just as close to LAAAAA as LAAAAA is to Oakland. Greinke has been the FA bust of the season so far. I still fear them if they get in, but it is looking grim.

the Rangers are at the point where the math just works too well for them. At .500 baseball for the rest of the year(~40 games) the A's will have to play 2/3rds baseball to catch then even at 5.5 games out. this last bad period by the Angels has put them far enough behind where both the Rangers and As would have nearly go into free fall for LAA for have any chance at the division.

Threw this out in the TB thread, I can't decide if I would do it or not.
David Price for Elvis Andrus/Martin Perez/Cody Buckel
David Price for Elvis Andrus/Martin Perez/Cody Buckel
I wouldn't. I like Price a lot. Would not trade Elvis for him though. But I'm not answering that with a GM hat on, just my fan hat.
Captain Hook
Footballguy
The argument for would be Profar waitingThe argument against would be not knowing how long it would take him to be equal to Elvis
However not sure the Rays wouldn't ask for Profar and another hitter - not sure Perez or Buckel have as much value to them as to other teams

At some point aren't they going to pay somebody something? Why assume Price isn't that guy?

They're pretty much toast but still have a (very, very slight) chance. Those guys can get scorching hot. One of the streakier teams I've seen in recent years. With 6 games left between your teams that leaves a lot of room for LAAA pick up ground.Can we bury the Angels yet?

Making up that kind of gap with a team halfway up the ladder would be basically unprecedented with this few games remaining. There is also the little annoyance of Seattle being basically the hottest team since the ASB. Would be an absolute shocking collapse of epic proportions.They're pretty much toast but still have a (very, very slight) chance. Those guys can get scorching hot.

Yeah, the odds are incredibly slim. But it's still a chance. Who knew the AL West would turn into one of the toughest divisions?Making up that kind of gap with a team halfway up the ladder would be basically unprecedented with this few games remaining.

I think Seattle really, really wants to finish 3rd and I think LAA is mailing it in. I could see it happen.Another thought on last night's game:Ogando - 1 IN, 2 Ks, 13 pitches (9 strikes)Adams - 1 IN, 2 Ks, 12 pitches (9 strikes)Nathan - 1 IN, 2 Ks, 14 pitches (10 strikes)That is insanely good.

I have two very upper deck seats for tomorrow. Wasn't sure if you guys wanted to just meet in the new outfield area to watch the game or what exactly.If anyone wants that extra ticket just to get in let me know.Did we make a decision here?I'm game for whatever.

I will probably just walk up and get a ticket. Will leave that for cosjobs or someone else who wants it. If it does not get taken by game time, I will grab it from you. PM sent with my phone number.
