A’s calling up catcher Shea Langeliers.

Finally!
Obviously this guy belongs on the Kings.
This ****ing team LOL.
Somehow not dead yet, being 4.5 back of the Padres with 6 games left vs them and 6 back of the Phillies with one more series vs them. We still have tough series, but 23 games vs the Diamondbacks, Rockies, Tigers, Cubs.
We'll have a better idea after these next 7 vs the Rockies/Dbacks/Tigers. 5-2 in this upcoming stretch and I might believe again.

Nice to see a little bit from him. I know he’s still super young, but losing a season and a half of prime development time to the Covid season then to a back injury suuuuuuuuucks.

Torture never felt so dang good!!!!
Well...For those of you who were fortunate to be old enough to remember the most recent world series wins, you probably would probably disagree with my first statement. I kind of disagree with my own statement as well. Because no torture will EVER compare to the torture we endured on our way to the three world series wins...
Have a night, Harry 💪

He's probably more of an outside shot to make the team at the beginning of the year, but if he continues to dominate the first few months in AAA, wouldn't shock me at all to see him in June-July of next season. Dude's legit.

Or...As some random young gal who I used to run into all the time would have said..."How about Johnny Cuteo's resurgent season? Good for him!"...
Never understood why she always said "Cuteo", until someone told me a few years later that her mom used to think Johnny Cueto was "cute", and used to always called him "Johnny Cute-o". So, when the gal was younger, she thought his name actually was "Johnny Cute-o", and that name pretty much stuck with her ever since.
BTW, yes, she did confirm for me that she knew his name ACTUALLY was/is Cueto. She never told me how she came to find out, so I assumed it was the hard way, to which she responded with an evil laugh...

Welp!!!
I guess our "prize" for sucking so much is a date in the Bronx with the Bronx Bombers to kick off our 2023 campaign...
All 30 Major League Baseball teams to play one another in a season for first time in 2023

The wearing of the orange & black part, unfortunately.

Luis is my least favorite Giant right now. He failed to preserve a shutout. He should stick to hurling wood at a small round white object; He's much better at doing that than he is at hurling a small round white object at a bunch of wood. Just sayin'...

We should petition the MLB to allow us to play the Phillies for 162 games.
I see that the Angels appear to have had another Tungsten game last night?

ALBERT HAS DONE IT!

The fact Pujols has done this largely in the post-steroids era and while sucking for the last half decade is impressive.

In seriousness, I’m good with this. Good teammate. Consistent. Good Giant.

I'm glad that the front office is not being suckered into throwing out random dough at anyone and everyone just to be able to contend. Because we will, unfortunately, not be able to contend with those dudes from Chavez Ravine...They have a stacked roster. Padres, as well, are on the verge. We're playing it smart. Invest in young talent and mold them into perennial contenders.

A’s can only lose 110 games max, which is less than the 51-111 2013 Astros.
— Athletics Rants (@AthleticsRants) September 15, 2022
Even during a down year, the A’s still find ways to one up the Astros.
