4/21 Darvish vs. Straily
4/22 N. Martinez vs. Milone
4/23 Perez vs. Gray

Lets take 2 of these
That's do-able with some offense

Robbie goes back to relief. In the rotation full time next year. Not sure we resign Colby. Complete speculation.

That's assuming everyone is healthy, but it all depends on if the sign Colby again next year. If Ross continues to impress I could see them starting him at AAA if everyone is healthy to start the season. That's a huge if.

I like matchup 1. That should be a win. Game two is kind of a toss up for me. Game three should be a low scoring event. Will be tough but our pitching should give us a chance to win.

Gray can be tough but if Perez pitches like last game and holds them to 1-2 runs and our offense shows some life whatsoever we could take that one

Kind of my thoughts about Robbie.

That's what I'm saying. And who knows how Martinez will do? We should expect to win one and hope a few things go right to maybe steal another. I'll take that on the road.

Stealing a road series would be fantastic

Like our chances given the pitching matchups... As long as the bats get going 2 of 3 seems pretty realistic. We need Prince and Choo to mold into As killers... hopefully they can get a start on this that series.

Really? Martinez is still an unknown and Gray has been stellar.

Start Chirinos tomorrow please.

I would hope wash would, but at this point who knows? I know we'll see him on Wednesday at the very least.

It does to me just because Yu and Perez have been that good. Rangers could still lose one or both of those games but I think the odds favor them going in. The Martinez game favors the A's though.

That Perez vs Gray game looks pretty even Steven to me.

Perez coming off his first career complete game shutout has by me favoring him bbut has bias on his side as well.

Cespedes left today with a bruised heel...

So most likely he won't be in the lineup for all 3. Not sure the duration we are talking with him being off.

Straily vs Darvish is going to be very difficult for Oakland to win. Game 2 toss up. Love Oakland and Gray game 3.

2-1 or 1-2 likely. Don't see a great series for the A's with our 4 and 5 pitchers taking the mound.

have fun.... Oakland is coming to Texas a week from tomorrow also.

Looking forward to it. Feel free to drop by for some in game chats. I don't see either team getting a sweep here. I think game 2 and 3 could go either way. Perez and Gray should be an awesome matchup.

I see it the exact same way. Gray / Perez is the game I am REALLY excited for on Wednesday. Hopefully it will be ESPN's game, havent checked.

A's rarely get over on staff Aces, so don't like chances tomorrow.

And thank you for the invite. Trying like heck to build our own board. But like to stop here and chat with yall.

Great team board here.

Last time I checked Wednesday's game is an afternoon game, I believe. But I hate these 9 pm games. Tough on us Central time zone people.
