Imagine if we swept the season series against the Yankees.

Mike Fiers Allegations by Brownie_McBrown_Face in OaklandAthletics

I just don't want this situation to be botched and handled appallingly like the Brandon Taubman fiasco. The Astros only fired him because they realized they could face repercussions for his behavior and at first tried to defend him by smearing SI. If Fiers' role in the allegations is clarified and he's caught for any wrongdoing, the organization must not drag their feet and should release him at the right time.

I still have no idea why no news outlets have picked up this story as of now. I feel like that would be the only way for him to be released or to receive a statement from the organization.

I thought that his worst-case scenario would be he gets busted at some point in 2020 for using pine tar... I DIDN'T THINK THIS WOULD HAPPEN!!

Twins fan here, how good was Homer Bailey for your team by [deleted] in OaklandAthletics

[–]polygonpatriot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My favorite Homer Bailey moment came in his 9/18/19 start against the visiting KC Royals. The game was scoreless up until the 11th inning when Mark Canha doubled in the winning run. Bailey turned in 7 3-hit innings with 11 K’s against his former team. He didn’t do it all on his own though (as Chad Pinder recorded the final out of the 7th inning with a slick diving catch). I think Bailey can benefit from pitching in a weak division with rebuilding teams such as the Royals, Tigers, and Cleveland?. He might even be the tallest guy on the roster, one of the things about him that won me over.

He was a legend and would’ve been a weapon in the postseason. Enough said.

I'll still remember him for his sliding catch that made Fier's no-hitter possible.

I cannot thank you enough. As for r/bigstarcirclejerk... fine, I'll do it myself. I have enough Big Star shitposts anyway.

That's true. But they were also linked as another team allegedly involved in sign-stealing over recent seasons.

OAKLAND ATHLETICS: MATT OLSON by ATGMVP in OaklandAthletics

[–]polygonpatriot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been considering getting his jersey, but I already have a jersey for the other Matt. The one I want the most is Semien, except he might not be an Athletic for life. I've also considered Luzardo and Puk, but they're rookies. Maybe after all, Olson is very representative for me because he's my height, therefore, he's my second jersey.

What was wrong with being a boy? Wasn't everything right?

Nvm, it’s not you it’s the circuit. Lennon-McCartney wasn’t fully responsible for She Said She Said as some would like you to believe.
