Cook back from the DL in time for the road trip.

Reddick put on 15 day DL to make room (hyperextended knee).

Let's go Oakland!

Donaldson is like 400k votes up on Longoria... He better start 3rd base in the all star game!

Longoria's numbers are pedestrian this year (.266 avg, 5 hr, 23 RBI). Those aren't ALL Star numbers by any stretch of the imagination. For comparison These are JD's (.284 avg, 15 hr, 48 RBI).

With Cabrera playing first base this year, there's no excuse why JD isn't the first choice at 3rd base this year.

Was just reading about the past few games of the A's and Orioles, and Machado deserves an *** kicking.

Friday's game, gets tagged and falls over (I think he was more embarrassed than anything) and says something to Donaldson, benches clear, melo-dramatic Machado.
Wei-Yin Chen zips 2 inside ***** and ends up hitting Donaldson once.

2nd inning of Sunday's Game, hits Norris with his follow through (really? Didn't hit him or any other catcher before?)
6th inning, hits Norris again and knocks him out of the game (people are getting hurt here!?!)
8th inning rolls by and Abad tosses a fastball at Machado's knee (yea probably a response, A's were up big)
Next pitch, Machado lets go of his bad flying into 3rd base/left field if the umpire didn't stop it, probably aiming for the pitcher. Benches clear, and rightfully so. So far Donaldson has gotten hit, Norris knocked out of the game, and now he launches a bat at A's players.

That dude is crazy, and I hope someone puts that kid in check. Plays the game trying to hurt people. I hope he gets suspended like 25 games or something.

Can't fault the A's, but the A's are playing first place AL ball, can't have guys get suspended.

I hope that the A's bring up a young fireballer from any of their farm leagues. The hardest thrower they got. And bring him in to face machado. I bet that ***** won't even get in the batters box. That would send a message that the A's don't put up with that ****.

It's like in hockey when you bring in the enforcer against the 1st line of the other team. You know why he's in, and you know what he's going to do.

In case you haven't noticed, and judging by the post count here you haven't, the A's have managed to win a few here and there, and are threatening to keep the best record in baseball.

I've been so happy with Athletics play I've forgotten all about this thread.
