We’re back with A’s Week in Twitter, where we round up the best of the Oakland Athletics Twitterverse. From launch angle to Jesse Chavez’s favorite teams, scroll to see what made the cut!
Your skipper could never.
Clarification: I had a note about Bob Melvin’s ejection being his 19th. It was his 19th ejection with Oakland and 40th in his career - Bob wants full credit for all of those.

Sure you did.
Everybody who thought 7 months ago that the #Athletics would win 90 games, raise your hands.

Yeah, right.
Love to see it.
hm that's funny, the A's looks like we climbed up the mountain and then just... stayed at the top! pic.twitter.com/fI59MhOHeH

You saw him here first, folks!
I know Pat Venditte has been around for a while now, but the fact that he’s a big league pitcher who can throw with both arms will always be complete insanity

Weekly reminder.
Ramon Laureano is just ridiculous.

Thanks, Sonny.
Sonny Gray helping out his former team. Gives up three in the third to Minnesota. If A's hold on and Yanks lose ... this is getting interesting.

Interesting!

Very #here for the annoying of Astros fans.
Ok, I’m getting tired of the Oakland Athletics.
— Astros Rants (@AstrosRants) September 13, 2018
They never lose.
They’re getting fucking annoying.
This seems ... extremely good.

#MLB WAR Leaders

1. Mookie Betts 9.2
2. Mike Trout 8.9
3. Jose Ramirez 7.8
4. Alex Bregman 7.5
5. Francisco Lindor 7.3
6. Matt Chapman 6.5
7. Manny Machado 5.8
8. Christian Yelich 5.6
9. Lorenzo Cain 5.5
10. JD Martinez 5.3
10. Paul Goldschmidt 5.3
Suggestion: just go all-out all the time.
Food for thought for @Athletics if they play in wild-card game. Put simply: Home field is not worth expending much energy to get. In 6 years of wild-card games, road teams have won 7 of 12 (4-2 in NL, 3-3 in AL). Go all out to get division, not for home field in wild-card game.

FORTY-THREE!
RECAP: Khrush tied his career-high for home runs (43) to almost give us an incredible comeback. Off tomorrow, then we'll see you in Oakland for the last regular season homestand! https://t.co/ECHVtA6UYh pic.twitter.com/kuf9eogXK8
