lol Dunn homers

[SoCALkid]

Aren't the Mariners on a hot streak?? Not anymore I guess.

[Lou]

Dont need to scoreboard watch that much anymore but still more Oakland losses lowers the magic #.

disagree.

This is the perfect time to scoreboard watch

[mancini79]

Beane is a genius!

Dunn hits HR in A's debut......of course.

 

but let's see how long this lasts.......

 

Perhaps the A's gave Dunn Dave Kingman's old number........

 

anyone here even remember Dave Kingman.......I'll check his career stats but I'm guessing about 440 career HRs and 1.500 -plus K's.

[jsnpritchett]

lol Dunn homers

Yeah, but Cespedes would have hit 2, so...

[CAAngelsLifer]

Chris Young looks scared to be in Oakland

[Sherlock31]

Fxxxxxx Chris Young............you suck!

[CAAngelsLifer]

Obviously the A's can't lose every game but i was really hoping their offensive slump would last more than a month

[CAAngelsLifer]

Fxxxxxx Chris Young............you suck!

 

he looked pretty good against us last month

[101halo]

Of course this happened.

[disarcina]

my guess on Dave Kingman's career stats were pretty close.

 

my guess (on the post above) was 440 HRs and 1,500-plus career K's.

 

his actual career stats:  442 HR's and 1,816 career K's in 16 seasons.

 

Dunn should be given Kingman's old number -- Dunn is Kingman - plus some.

 

Dunn's career stats:  460 HR's, 2,353 K's over 14 seasons.

 

Dunn may be closing in an all time career K's record.

 

If Dunn does reach 500 HR's for his career (and if he plays 2 more seasons after this, he should) -- is he a 500 HR guy who should be in the HOF???

 

One dimensional player unless you count his ability to strike out a lot..........does Dunn own a glove?

[CAAngelsLifer]

Mariners suck today. better luck tomorrow. 

[DW711]

That's one more run than they scored in Anaheim.

[CanadianHalo]

Never being to the playoffs and playing in your final season on a team that just traded for you in a playoff chase could be bad news for us

That Wed match of King Felix VS Lester might be the preview of the WC game.

[CAAngelsLifer]

"We're not in Anaheim anymore" lol... nope... lucky you

[CanadianHalo]

Dunn 2 for 2, single the other way

[fan_since79]

Of course Dunn hits a hr his first ab in Oakland.

 

I wonder how many "muscle shakes" he consumed this weekend.

 

He's retiring after this season so the consequences would be irrelevant.

[CAAngelsLifer]

Seattle did just lose a series to the Texas Rangers... so maybe the expectations were a little high... lol

[Sherlock31]

Seattle doesn't seem like they want to be in the playoff..........

[CanadianHalo]

Kluber has given up 3 home runs already. Both these games I was excited for freaking blow

[OregonLAA]

Seattle has lost their last 2 series. The less they have to play for at the end of September, the better

[disarcina]

yeah, Kluber's magical season seems to have run aground the last two or three starts.

[Sherlock31]

He probably hits the wall, he's pitched 192 innings already and he has never pitched more than 160 innings before this year.
