The A's win every single year yet never make it further than round 1. It will be the same this year as well.

The have solid starting pitching and are set to make a run.....

 

[OAKAS]

This team is fun to watch.

They have the best ERA in MLB and lost 2 starters at the beginning of the season with Tommy John.

Cespedes had a monster game last night. Home Run, Triple, Double and threw 2 guys out at home in the same inning.

They have solid pitching every year.

Just like every post-season, they will fail to score. Give me Max, JV and Anibal over this collection of castoffs.

What happened in previous years means nothing this year.. Damn good chance to make it far this year...

Please define far. For me it at least means WS.

I think they have as good a shot as anyone in AL to get to WS

Oak and Det roll to division titles. I believe Toronto will be able to hold on to the east. I see DET winning the Pennant, but imo, anyone who gets in can take out Oak.

The difference between the A's this year and in year's past is the team actually has a top offense to match their top pitching. Their pitching is great every year. This season they have Moss who is going to hit 40+ home runs if he stays healthy, Donaldson who should hit 30+ with a .300 average, and Cespedes who should top 30 HRs with a decent average. The team is much stronger offensively and, in typical Beane fashion, draw walks as well.

This team leads the MLB in runs scored right now, but it is very misleading. They have scored in bunches. They are 16th in Batting Avg. Their offense will struggle in the post-season.

Don't know why you guys are handing the division to Oakland. They're only 56 games into the season and only up 3.5 on LAA. Let's not crown 'em yet.

because they are what we thought they were.

its not like they don't know how to win the division... defending champs right ?

 

[thekeyman]

oakland has a much better chance to win the AL PENNANT and make it to the world sereis this year due to being more seasoned this year.they have what it takes i believe,a real nice looking young team that plays together and not for individual stats.

It is called future wagering......
