That's why our 3rd base coach is a ****ing moron...last night he sends Valencia with 2 outs who had no chance of scoring...tonight he holds Gordon who would have made it easy and leaves it up to Butler as if Billy won't hit into a DP

Freaking Butler needs to get gone.

The funniest part is there are actually posters on this board that think other MLB teams would trade for Billy ****ler

**** you, Dayton Moore. Can Valencia play 1st base?

Billy, just go

I'm not even being irrational. There is literally no reason for Billy to be on this team. None. He needs to be DFA.

Butler is toast

He probably figured that Moose hit it too hard and right at the guy. Probably should've done it anyway considering the failure that was coming up.

This is pretty sad...actually. 2012 seems so damn long ago

Butler tonight, 3 pitches, 2 swings, 3 outs, 3 runners stranded, 2 RISP stranded

Clutch!!!!!!!

the A's literally will play anyone at 1B

Doesn't matter if they know how to or not. It's first ****ing base. Catch the ****ing ball. They filter anyone who can hit through that position.

Ned should have let Chen bat and had Ibanez DH for Butler

something similar last night too right? Two first pitch outs that I remember.

Personally, the way Butler is playing, I think he wants out. It's just not going public.
