If the season ended at the start of this episode on August 1st, our A's would be AL West winners and in the postseason. Will we be able to say the same thing in early October, or will a late-season collapse put our employment prospects in Oakland in jeopardy?

Kind of a strange thought, but with the wings you got that super highly rated prospect and flipped him for an even better one, just a thought to shop Ortega around this offseason, he’s looking much more like a league average guy than an above average player. Might be worth investigating 🤷🏼‍♂️
@oldschoolsports
@oldschoolsports 24 дня назад
That’s an interesting idea! I feel like that trade with the Wings was a once in a lifetime scenario, but maybe it was only once in a playthrough! Definitely can’t hurt to explore my options with Ortega!

@whyme943 24 дня назад
Not sure I agree with this. If Ortega’s development stalls, you’re absolutely right, but I believe (or want to believe) that what he needs now is major league playing time to reach his potential, and at that point he’ll be a very good player, though perhaps not a superstar. He might need a month or two in AAA, but after that I think he can close the final 5-10 point potential gaps in the Majors.

I’m not necessarily going to do it, but I don’t think it hurts to look! The only potential wrench in the plan of “just looking” is that after his rough welcome to the majors his contract demands have come down a lot, so there’s an argument for me to try to sign him to an extension right now rather than wait to see what his trade value might be in a few weeks, at which point his contract demands might be higher again. Lots to think about!

@@oldschoolsports That’s his thought processing. Signing him now while the price is better makes perfect sense. I don’t think moving on from him at this stage is the right thing to do but yes looking at what’s out there for him is certainly wise.

Wasn't worried about playoffs as it feels that this team always shows up in September. Keith will be missed in the playoffs, but it is a chance for Soderstrom to play like he did in 2029 and lead the team to make another suprising apperance in world series, so Delauter can get his 2nd world series MVP. One can dream.

*spoilers below* Really tough second half on the field and with the injuries, glad you could sneak into the playoffs regardless! Not sure how far this team can get without Keith but this regular season result should at least guarantee a contract extension from fisher.

@oldschoolsports 24 дня назад
Thanks. I don’t have high expectations for the playoffs, but agree we hopefully have earned an extension.

Wow Stubblefield crept up on the rails and has overtaken Ortega with his batting. His ratings look really solid right now so a real shame he’s out.. maybe his defence can be worked on in the lab to bring that more in line with the rest of his game and perhaps he will be a better bet for the start of next season in the majors than Ortega. I did not expect the struggles from the team this season especially after that strong start. The bullpen was really struggling to keep pace with the starters and seemed to be a real problem this season but at the end of the day a strong finish saw you home to that winning record and playoffs. That’s got to be enough to keep you in the job. Hey who knows the WS is not impossible if everything can click 😉 Jeez.. those injuries to your two best players on offense and defence was horrible!! Interested to see what you do to combat the loss of Keith in the playoffs. Huge loss 😮 Fan interest increase again which is good to see but still no idea how high you need it to be to achieve that goal 🤷🏻‍♂️
@oldschoolsports
@oldschoolsports 24 дня назад
Yeah, based on the color of the evaluation, Fisher is not too impressed by the measly five point increase in fan interest! We’ll see what happens in the playoffs. I don’t have high expectations for a long run. Still considering throwing Stubblefield into the mix without any MLB experience as he’s our best proxy for Keith’s bat on paper!

How high of a priority did Fisher put in a winning season? I'm thinking that fan interest and attendance were higher. If so, you might not be out of the woods. That would be unfortunate because the fan interest metric is broken.
@oldschoolsports
@oldschoolsports 24 дня назад
Fan Interest is Very High. Winning Record is Average. And Upgrading CF is Low. Attendance we made very good progress on but is not due until next season. I think we’re ok, but you never know for sure…

Had to jump forward in episodes for me. I'm back 5-6 to this day. I just needed to see how Ortega did and if you kept your job. Surprised not to see Ortega firmly at a corner outfield position, but guess he stalled a bit in his development. (spoiler alert, hm) Sad to see Ferris collapsed his ERA and lost that crown. At least you managed to get the team over the line and probably saved your job. Still question if you keep going with the A's ??? The team looks like it's not going to much forward or backwards these days. Status Quo (hm) I think. Is it time for a new adventure with another team ? Guess it depends on what Fisher say, but if he is lowball you I love to see a higher demand from you. We get to see if the AI Fisher takes it or sends you packing. We haven't reached AllStar IRL so plenty of baseball left before eyes might turn to NFL.

@@oldschoolsports England keep getting the results so far but the performances are very poor. Too many good attacking players to be playing so negatively but results count right.

@@oldschoolsports Hard to say but honestly I don't think the Cup "comes home". But England looks to have nine lives in this Cup. Finally got over their penalty problems. But still put my money on Spain and their some new version of tiki-taka. Love their young wingers. In Copa (which I haven't followed closely) I'm surprised to see Brasil out on penalty shootout. Canada in semi. WOW. But then took out Venezuela on penalties 🙄. Not teams expected to be in a playoff. Looking interresting for upcoming Worlds in US,Mexico and Canada.

I put him on at the end of August. Waived and DFAed a couple AAAA guys to open up spots for the youngsters in the hopes I might be able to use them in the playoffs… but don’t see that in Ortega’s future, at least not this season…
