How much longer will the A's keep Chapman hitting 6th? Hard to believe he hasn't been moved up in the order yet.

Originally posted by SlideRule View PostBarreto still hasn't gotten in a game yet. Seems odd. I wonder if not playing him right away means it's more likely he's up for longer-term (vs. an emergency replacement), or if he's really just an emergency backup due to the injuries...

Matt Olson...two month wonder???? Dude blows."I lingered round them, under that benign sky: watched the moths fluttering among the heath and harebells, listened to the soft wind breathing through the grass, and wondered how any one could ever imagine unquiet slumbers for the sleepers in that quiet earth."

Originally posted by SlideRule View PostBack to Barreto, he was called up over a week ago, and has only appeared as a late-inning blowout replacement in one game (at 2B), still with zero ABs. What is the thinking here? Why call him up just to sit on the bench? Why not stay down in AAA to keep seeing pitches and/or work on OF defense if that's where they want him? Confused.

Oakland is on pace to win 90 games and is still more likely than not to miss the playoffs. Weird. I'm sure if you had told A's fans before the season they could have 90 wins they would have jumped at that deal."Jesus said to them, 'Truly I tell you, the tax collectors and the prostitutes are going into the kingdom of God ahead of you.'"
