Providence... give us a pre-season analysis.

[dgfred]

Hoping Providence can give us a run-down on the up-coming season.

[dgfred]

A's are 5-5 into spring traing so far.

[dgfred]

S.Gray is fun to watch pitch... he really battles every on every one. Not a big guy either.

[BuckFoston]

Gray is on my fantasy teams so I am really happy when he has outings like he did yesterday.

[dgfred]

He is tuff... almost all of his outings are like that. Only real problem he has is lack of production from the A's offense.

[dgfred]

A's starting rotation at the moment:

1. S. Gray
2. R. Hill
3. C. Bassitt
4. K. Graveman
5. E. Surkamp

Points if you can name three of their first names.

[BuckFoston]

1. Sonny
2. Russ
3. Chris
4. Kendall
5. Eric

Didn't look any of that up so I might be wrong but I thought I would take a shot.

[dgfred]

You got Sonny, Russ and Kendall right for sure.

[dgfred]

I guess Manaea's debut was... OK. Didn't think he would walk that many.

[dgfred]

Wow... N.Cruz hit Manaea's pitch to the moon. He had another decent outing until the 5th I think with 2 outs... then imploded.

[dgfred]

Rich Hill and his curveball 4-0 away I think.

7 hits in one inning and A's only got 2 runs. All singles.

[dgfred]

Ouch... pummeled by the O's.

[BuckFoston]

Ya know.. I picked up Rich Hill in my fantasy league.. He looks like he strikes a lot of guys out. I am happy to have him.

[dgfred]

Yes... I like the way he throws it. Plus being a lefty.

[Providence A's]

Analysis? Here's my analysis; fuck this team. Fire, demote, cut, trade everyone. I'm so glad I went to Monday's game, too BTW.
