mike fiers has had a weird career
Mike Fiers has gone 21 starts in a row without a loss (started with his no-hitter). He's 11-0 with a 2.59 ERA in that stretch. A's are 16-4 (and lead a suspended game).— David Schoenfield (@dschoenfield) September 4, 2019

Somebody in our (ILB) fantasy league dropped him right at the start of that stretch, thank you again whomever that was.

Here is yesterday's story, with comments from Luzardo about his first ML callup: A's to call up top prospect Jesús Luzardo; Matt Harvey won't join team https://t.co/fXoMYAKXHE— Susan Slusser (@susanslusser) September 9, 2019

Yeah, I was on the fence about starting him in our fantasy league (RB had him at 49% start) but holy fuck was that a meltdown.

People sleeping on A's? 13-2 last two weeks. 10-4 v HOU/NYY home and home last month. 71-35 since May 16-- best record in MLB. Manaea 18IP 6 H 1 R. Laureano healthy again. Puk and Luzardo up. Why can't they win the AL?
Jay Jaffe12:40In a short series, anything can happen, and it's not out of the question that they win the AL, but the odds suggest they have to beat both the Astros and Yankees to get to the World Series, which is a very tall order.

Exciting to see Luzardo up there

these guys hit a ton of HRs too, they just don't have the same name recognition. 5th in MLB behind the Twins, Yanks, Astros, and Dodgers.

They beat their single season home run record yesterday. (maybe not a big deal in 2019 lol)
― brimstead, Tuesday, 17 September 2019 00:15 (four years ago) link
every team's HR totals this year are going to need an asterisk

It is absolutely a big deal when you consider their history:

Lead the AL in HRs twice (once was in Boston and the other a strike year).
― earlnash, Tuesday, 17 September 2019 01:57 (four years ago) link
we don’t disagree, Albert, I was just bad-jokingly referring to the high number of home runs/“asterisk” narrative alluded to by The Cursed
― brimstead, Tuesday, 17 September 2019 03:31 (four years ago) link
You're welcome! His first start of the season was good, but by the end of April he had something like a 6.50 ERA and was unplayable.
It is unlikely, but then again, it happened just last year.

Homer Bailey. Again.

Lots of "Marcus Semien for MVP" press. He's a hair behind Bregman for 2nd in AL bWAR.
I'd prefer WS MVP.

That Mike Trout might not get MVP is absolutely crazy to me.

Who do we think they start in the wild card? Bassit?
― Van Horn Street, Tuesday, 24 September 2019 17:38 (four years ago) link
Loving seeing Homer having a comeback and finally just being healthy again. If Bailey is getting movement on his fastball, he is pretty hard to hit. He still throws hard. I'd love to see him have one really great year where he puts it all together and top it off with a third no no. That would be classic.
