Doesn't Get Old...



Cespedes trade isn't working. Watching the game right now. A's down 2-0, top of the 9th. Feels like we haven't scored in ages. Donaldson up. One man on. It'd be nice if Cespedes was in the on-deck circle. Underrated aspect of power hitting - they are up every night. As much as the stat nerds are convinced baseball is an individual sport masquerading as a team sport, I'm convinced a line-up matters and is interconnected. You'd like to mix righties and lefties and give the other team something to fear. Not to mention the fact you want a guy who is a threat to jack one everytime and can get hot when others aren't. I didn't like the trade, still don't. A's were the best team in baseball. Now, they are barely a .500 team because they can't hit.
