For me it's not just getting swept. The A's lineup is clearly much better than the Twins.

Yeah, that's what gets me. It's not Gasper, although obviously that's bad enough   It's that he very well might BE the best current option for the MLB roster. And there's been only 1 re

Say what you will, having 33 yr old Jose Urena start games for the rebuilding Twins makes SOOOO much sense.

Those who have it on TV, what will "butts in the seats" count be?

They don't provide "butts in the seats" count. They provide "tickets sold."

I'd guess actual attendance is under 10000, but that's a guess. Looks pretty sparse.

Brooks Lee moving that OBP up

Lee is showing massive improvement on getting walks.   He now has 7 walks this month.  You have Lee now getting more walks not chasing as many pitches, and now punishing strikes.   This is the version of Brooks Lee we want.   Maybe all the critical articles were a good thing.  Secondly he is playing at home so based on his splits I am not surprised he has done so well on this homestand.  Even still, incremental improvements.

The lowest announced attendance in the second half was 18,448 yesterday.  I think it will be within 1,000 of that

I know that, that's why I asked visual.

If the manger doesn’t care, why would the player?

Our manager does care he just wants whats best for the team. I hate it when people insult this team. If you're here to insult the team that we love you have no right here. Our players and manager do care it's just hard when our front office sold practically everyone and if you don't like balldeli too bad he's here for more years.

I know everyone hates to hear it, but we have potential at every level in the minor leagues. It's not much, but it is what it is.

We have at minimum 4 solid players for next years regular day lineup.  Buxton, Keaschall, Lee, and Jeffers.  I am ready to give up on Lewis and move Lee there permanently when they bring up Culpepper.  LF and RF - I don't know what the plans are.  I would assume one or both of Wallner and Larnach are gone.  Wallner has the potential to be really good.   You need 4-5 really good hitters and then fill in around them.  Adding Culpepper should had another quality at bat/hitting skill to the lineup and would be a major upgrade over the version of Lewis we are getting.  I have stated I thought Clemens was solidifying his hold on 1st base, but he has faded here in August.  The biggest thing so far is Keaschall looks like he belongs and Lee is starting to breakout. 

As to SP - we are loaded.  Ryan and Lopez are an excellent 1 -2 punch.  You have so many options to fill the 3-5 spots.  I think we have 4-5 usable relievers then the front office will have to do quite a bit of work trying to supplement this group in the offseason.  They generally don't spend money on the bullpen so I am curious to see how they plan on revamping this group. 

You say its not much,  but if the goal is continued success with high level players who give you the chance at a WS - its better than the losing we were doing with a group that shoulda/woulda/coulda got to the playoffs and world series.

No repercussions for outman not running #culture

They don't even have percussions let along repercussions.

Well I would. 

A major league career would be worth fighting for. With every fiber of my being. 

Shouldn't someone with the drive and determination to get to the majors in the first place not need the external motivation from the manager to try at a baseline level? Understand that they're playing for their next opportunity and that everyone around the league is watching?  I know Rocco is some juicy low-hanging fruit, but aren't professional players responsible for their own actions at some point?
