We’re back with A’s Week in Twitter, where we round up the best of the A’s Twitterverse. From trading for Fernando Rodney to Ramón Laureano’s throw of the season, scroll to see what made the cut!
Good lord.

Will the “A’s are poor” joke ever stop being a thing?
Hat=funny. Tired joke=not funny.

There’s a lot going on here, and it’s all good.
As I saw someone say on my TL, only YOU can prevent Forst Fiers.

“Moneyball 2: But Here We Are”
I never thought I’d root for a team with Fernando Rodney on it but here we are
— Alan Torres (@cuppingmaster) August 10, 2018
This bodes well.
Over his entire career, Fernando Rodney has given up only one homer in the Oakland Coliseum.
— Tony Frye (@Tony_Frye) August 10, 2018
And the show we didn’t know we needed.
FERNANDO RODNEY ON THE A’S IS THE SHOW WE HAVE BEEN WAITING TO WATCH.
— Jessica Kleinschmidt (@KleinschmidtJD) August 10, 2018
PREACH, Nick.
Fernando Rodney is dope and if you’re upset about his hat-wearing and arrow-shooting then you should really just stop watching baseball, because we’re here to have fun and express ourselves in sports.

Can Carter do the splits yet, though?

Just ridiculous.
This is a ridiculous camera angle for Ramón Laureano’s cannon of a throw. pic.twitter.com/5rBHpWcV9L

The Throw 2.0
Angels: "Oh sweet, Yoenis Cespedes is in New York now so this will never happen to us again."

Oakland: YOU THOUGHT https://t.co/Zuopfz9E84
See above.
When I saw Ramon Laureano's ridiculous throw from last night, my first thought beyond "wow" was of Yoenis Cespedes in that same ballpark.

If you don’t know the back story here, just take our word that it was dumb.
Ok...to clear everything up because this really got out of hand. I was being congratulated by all of my real fans so I was going through all the tweets and quickly liking them and I didn’t realize someone slipped in that tweet about Stanton. Please stop with the outrageous tweets

It bodes well that Taylor is now 28.
Hey @taylorswift13 the @Athletics are also feeling 22...games above 500! pic.twitter.com/LQkYdrgVap

Welcome to the life of an A’s fan 3ish years ago – how the tables have turned.
I don't know who I hate more. Jed Lowrie for always killing us or Jim Johnson for being Jim Johnson.
— Antonio Castro (@wctony) August 12, 2018
Speaking of Jed, congrats on a career milestone!
Jed Lowrie's 1,000th career hit is naturally a double.

The sequel we’ve always imagined.
the new Moneyball is using transactions to subtweet the starters, which causes them to be better https://t.co/H0xYPK7bsO

TFW when you try to rip the Coliseum but it’s actually not that bad ...
