LET’S GO ROOKER!! Thank you blue for that blown strike call 😮💨✌️
Ok, that was a nice ending
Fuji first MLB win!
ROOKER! That’s our All-Star.
Fuji win and Rooker bomb. Good ending today
Yeah rookers def gonna be an all star
I really like Vince in the booth. Thought him and ken work really well, but I’ll take Vince with Dallas if somehow kuip can’t come back 🙁
LET BRENT ROOK
What a fun game, wow
Goddamn that was some good Oakland A’s baseball mothafuckaz
If we had any sense and would lock down these guys, I’d have a closet full of jerseys right now, with Rooker being the first. Alas, my blank back Majestics will continue to serve their role.
Rangers fan here. Checked in yesterday, and back today to say Rooker has the potential to be a really special player. It will be fun to watch him develop. Congrats on the win tonight fellas. Records be damned. I feel like you guys always give us a fight.
That was a lot of fun. Rooker is incredible. Wow.
With our 9th WIN of 40 games played, we are on pace for a 36-126 season.
Win percentages:
1899 Spiders: .130
2023 A’s YTD: .225 (+3.8 wins)
1916 A’s: .235
1962 Mets: .250
2003 Tigers: .265
Fuck John Fisher. Fuck Dave Kaval. Fuck Rob Manfred. Fuck Bud Selig. Fuck the Giants.
This is a fuck you to Robbie Grossman for being a traitor
Best game of the season. Love the fight in the A’s tonight.
need to find a way to get perez’s bat in the lineup more often. guy can hit
Well I guess I picked a bad time to go on a frustration walk. Or…
Brent Rooker of the Year
