i think it's a good start.

that’s why it would work as a “swooney” home-run pic.

I guess
he was trying to make sure he’d score had that ball dropped. Don’t underestimate Frank’s lack of speed at the moment.

Sweeney
Fosse and Kuip actually hit the nail on the head for once, Sweeney’s swing is looking shorter these days and it’s encouraging to see. For all the talk about Ryan’s long swing, nobody talks about Ellis’ absolutely horrible swing. While it may be short and quick, it’s incredibly loopy and as such he hits an incredible amount of weak popups and grounders. This may be unpopular but I wouldn’t shed a single tear if Ellis were to leave in the offseason, good defense be damned!

Ellis has been a pretty effective hitter for a 2B. He's probably been our best player the last few years.
Does it matter what his batting form is like?

Kind of...

If a guy's an above average hitter for his position for several years, you care what his
swing looks like?

Ya probably.
He’s not likely to change his swing now though. We should just get him mentally ready to play.

Form? No. Production? Absolutely.
He was below average in 2006 and is again this year. And his defense doesn’t stand to improve any. He’s an ok player to have around, but I’m not sure he’s worth $7 mil per year.

What is he getting this year?
5 million.
That would have to be his max if he stays, one would think

He's worth that, but probably only for 2 years.
I think 2 years, team option for a third at $5 mil per is good. I dunno if he’ll take that.

Hmmm....what's the competition...
Dodgers, Giants, Padres, Astros, Cardinals, Royals, Indians, Mariners?
Will anyone else give him $7M? I agree. I’m not really seeing it.

I'd like to see a game wrap that starts like this:
On their way to lose their 10th straight game, and 20 of last 22, the A’s collectively said, “Not today. Today we fight!”

I will keep that in mind.
Hopefully, we can use it.
