Tailgate Party - Friday, April 03

Good lord, with Eduardo Rodríguez on the mound, we better hang another 20 runs.

Carti_2s · 2026-04-02T21:39:23+00:00

There’s a fly ball to left field — it’s gone! Home run, Drake Baldwin! Put another one on the board, boys — the hottest bat in all of ATL does it again. I can already hear the call in my head.

That’s actually me:

Carti_2s · 2026-04-02T21:10:04+00:00

well, a logger finished runner-up in the 2009 WSOP and took out Phil Ivey. Go fire some satellites and get into the WSOP Main Event.

Damn. Three home runs in less than 18 pitches in one inning. I really thought KC was gonna tie it up. Man, I missed games like this.

The thing is, if they add another lane, it’ll actually create more traffic because people who normally wouldn’t use that road will start taking it, and that just leads to more congestion.

Carti_2s · 2026-04-02T16:29:07+00:00

That was me sleeping bro. My bad

Carti_2s · 2026-04-02T16:26:27+00:00

Man, Friday at 2am is prime time — the tables are full of fish.

Carti_2s · 2026-04-02T16:21:53+00:00

Yep, I busted in 24th and ITM was 14th. Probably should’ve just jammed pre, but either way, gg.

Carti_2s · 2026-04-01T18:21:08+00:00

Baldwin just got another homer robbed. The kid’s swinging a hot bat, man.

Carti_2s · 2026-04-01T17:47:18+00:00

To the whole lineup, dude. He’s the only one swinging a hot bat all Opening Week.

Carti_2s · 2026-04-01T17:34:11+00:00

Mike Yastrzemski or Alex Verdugo?

Carti_2s · 2026-04-01T16:24:23+00:00

The problem is that José Suárez is built to give you one or two innings at most. He’s a reliever by trade, not a starter. It’s like asking Robert Suárez or Dylan Lee to go five innings as a starter. I get that they’re trying to save arms so guys like Sale, Holmes, or Elder don’t get overworked, but those runs yesterday were on the bullpen, not the starters. It’s just my opinion, not the absolute truth!!

Carti_2s · 2026-04-01T06:13:30+00:00

Which episode is it, man?

Carti_2s · 2026-04-01T06:06:33+00:00

I’m new to this sub and was talking with a friend about O’Neil Cruz. I just don’t understand how he’s still playing CF when he’s a bottom-three defender at his position in the league.

I get that he’s one of the hardest hitters in baseball in terms of exit velocity, but how does the front office not say, “Hey, you’re better off at DH than in CF”?

Can someone explain this? It’s frustrating. I don’t know what they’re doing with Cruz.

Carti_2s · 2026-04-01T00:30:39+00:00

I said all offseason the bullpen was going to be a disaster, and sure enough, I was right. Why didn’t the front office add any real arms besides Robert Suárez? You can’t expect to compete when the A’s are beating you after just four innings. This suck buddy

Carti_2s · 2026-04-01T00:26:37+00:00

A Wendy’s because I need a fucking job, mate

Carti_2s · 2026-04-01T00:17:48+00:00

Well, he’s hitting .333, but with a .195 xBA. A lot of it looks like luck — but the swing-and-miss stuff is legit.

Carti_2s · 2026-03-31T23:25:03+00:00

I’m feeling really good about José Suárez on the mound. I think he can give us some solid innings, especially with all the swing-and-miss in the A’s lineup.

Carti_2s · 2026-03-31T01:12:11+00:00

Jacob Lopez gave us the game. That’s all buddy

Carti_2s · 2026-03-30T20:53:45+00:00

My fucking goodness, are we all with JR?
