@ThatBootlegGuy “San Diego is especially sensitive about teams leaving after the Chargers went to Los Angeles in 2017”
In LA, we are sensitive about the Chargers coming here

FWIW, 10 out of 12 local economists and executives said they were opposed to this proposed bill. Gift link to the article with their quotes in next threaded tweet

@ThatBootlegGuy Loved this place, but they shut down years ago.
The breakfast stuff was better than the BBQ though

I think #athletics hold the record for single-game attendance in a wildcard game? Not sure who holds the actual “playoff game” record, but I know the Angels drew >64,000 to playoff games in 1986, for one. (And, including the World Series, the Dodgers drew >90K at the Coliseum)
Oaklands #1 Vendor@IceColdKennybo
Funny how yall only point out the games Oakland didn’t show up how bout the games we did?? Oakland holds the record for most fans ever in a baseball playoff game but we don’t show up?? Lmfao Oakland has always shown out sit down

Manager Mark Kotsay got away with some weird determinations of who pitched which inning AND #athletics are gonna need a second lefty out there more sooner than later, but a wins a win

The A's bullpen tonight with a three-run lead: Hogan Harris scoreless 6th Justin Sterner scoreless 7th Scott Barlow scoreless 8th Mark Leiter Jr. scoreless 9th, allowed two hits, but picked up his first save of the season

@cuppingmaster @ThatBootlegGuy Oddly enough, that was once Aaron’s opening line

Pretty sure that never happened, right @ThatBootlegGuy

Name the year your team had a World Series roster… and still came home empty-handed. 😤⚾

Hey, 4 of those strikeouts came in one inning
Uprooted@uprootedoakland
The A's set an MLB record by striking out 50 (!!) times in the first three games to open the season. They struck out at least once in all but two innings of this entire series. Was this an all-time pitching performance or an all-time hackjob by the A's offense? #Athletics

@ThatBootlegGuy Gee, hopefully the teams hottest hitter can come up (not in the 1st) with the 8 and 9 hitters on base.
This is still not good

Gonna grow out what little hair I have left just so I can pull it out over #athletics weird lineup construction

Gee, hopefully the teams hottest hitter can come up (not in the 1st) with the 8 and 9 hitters on base.
This is still not good (and I get it, they don’t have a real leadoff man)

@ThatBootlegGuy We all knew the problems coming into the season
The problems are the same as last year: pitching, pen, defense, and strikeouts.

I know the #athletics haters are on one, but two one-run losses on the road to the probably-better-than-last year AL champs in front of two sold out partisan crowds? A’s will be alright, guys
Dallas Braden@DALLASBRADEN209
Not sure I can remember a more painful beginning to a season. 2 walk offs in a row in front of 2 capacity crowds. Baseball is just an agonizingly beautiful game. Good thing is… we’ve got a ball game tomorrow.

I’m sorry, doing this interview with “The Natural” Butch Reed in the background is absolutely sending me

“I can’t talk down to guys anymore, they’re my age!” 😆 Tony Vitello spoke with @Ken_Rosenthal about the biggest adjustment he’s had going from managing in college to now managing in the big leagues

Still hate this whole “let’s see how many solo home runs Kurtz will get” thing

@ThatBootlegGuy I believe tonight's game is for the 2025 AL Title

Counterpoint: #athletics lose, we riot
Alan Torres@cuppingmaster
Just remember that the A’s won Opening Day in 2023 and then went on to only win 49 more games after that. The 2013 and 2012 A’s lost Opening Day. As did the 2006 A’s, 2001 A’s, and 2000 A’s. The moral of the story is that a loss tonight may actually be a win in the long term.
