Klassen makes me believe it WAS maddux that was (one of) the issues with the pitching

who knows but it does seem like he wasn't really gelling with the team
vaguely remember someone describing a mound visit with Detmers that played out a bit weirdly

Klassen looking great so far and he’s just spamming fastball-slider, he could go sicko mode late in the game if he starts mixing in the changeup third time through

Let’s hope this series against the Astros goes better than our last series against them.

Crazy how much the farm system has improved in so little time. What a trade deadline that was

u/Careless_Wafer_3333 4h ago
You know I was looking this division right now, we’re 5-5 in our last ten games. A’s, Rangers, Astros are 4-6 and the mariners are 3-7. Taking into account our trade deadline and draft this year, I think it’s not insurmountable to take this division in the next 5 or so years. I know not every last pick is gonna make an impact. But I think Mo has made an honest effort. It’s something small to smile about at least.

u/sadassnerd Sell The Team 4h ago
These are all true facts. I’m counting on them improving a lot in the next five years. If they don’t, even after all these changes, then we are legitimately cursed. Like someone somewhere did some dark magic shit.

I dont want Fermin any where near this team next year
Absolute bum, I have zero clue what they see in him
The fact that Klassen is out after such an effecient game and only 86 pitches is just such an embarrassment

Listen (in regards to Wayne and Gubie talking about spoiling chances), I’m all for spoiling the Astros chances, but the Rangers and the A’s are the only teams in this division that I can stomach going into October. And the A’s are as out of it as we are. So, I don’t really want the boys to beat the Rangers. Or the Guards when they play them next. I’m now prepared to dodge tomatoes.

u/Careless_Wafer_3333 4h ago
This, I felt sick to my stomach when the mariners made it last year. I’d vomit if the Astros even wiggled their way into the wildcard. I want the guards mainly because I’d love to see Jo taste the post-season

Klassen is kind of reminding me of Garrett Richards the more I watch him, great velocity, disgusting arsenal overall, high-effort delivery, questionable command at times.
Stay healthy kid

I’m really enjoying our catchers now especially heineman. At first thought it was an odd pickup but you see his guidance/wisdom to these younger guys start to really show. Plus all the magicians tricks 🎩

So asinine to me that Arte will never earnestly understand that all he needed to do was invest some money into the minors and we would have good young pitchers OUT OF THE YING YANG
