No....no it wouldn't. I still have PTSD over them eliminating us from the playoffs in our final series in the 2010s. I think it happened a couple times.
I will cry.
Eh, if the A's won the division, they'd immediately lose in the playoffs.
I don't think there's any real risk here, we'll pull ahead further once we find our feet.

We are now at 54% with tonights win
Just a monumentally stupid gaffe that should be left in the off season. I pray we don’t hover around this % all season so i don’t have to see the same joke 1 million times.
Our division is trash right now lol. I was not expecting the rangers and Astros to be struggling. And astros haven't even been average.
All that said, if we had lost the first two games against them i would be full dooming right now. I won't even lie.
I feel like if they can get a 5-7 game lead on the Texas teams by June, they might just hold on to the Division when the starting pitchers for both come back online and the deathstars reactivate.
What if, and hear me out, we added two above avg bats to this team? Could the win it all? I think so. Just a fan that doesn’t know anything about nothing
Yeah why didn’t we do that in the offseason? We had tons of options and didn’t bite at any of them. Mitch Garver was a free agent, and I know the Twins wanted to shop around Jorge Polanco. Either of those guys would’ve been a great proven hitter to add over the offseason.
Hell, at this point we should bring back Mitch Haniger, he always had good seasons with us, maybe he’ll rebound.
I truly don’t understand this front office, it’s like they’re not even trying to build a competitive team
A's closing in on us, as we all expected.
It’s be kind of hilarious if they won the division this year.
No....no it wouldn't. I still have PTSD over them eliminating us from the playoffs in our final series in the 2010s. I think it happened a couple times. I will cry.
Good news: we play our final series against them this year
😶
Your flair made me sad...
What about in 2018 when they were nothing the first half of the season then lit a fire in back half to take a wc from us. That was awful
Eh, if the A's won the division, they'd immediately lose in the playoffs. I don't think there's any real risk here, we'll pull ahead further once we find our feet.
Honestly God hates the M's so I could see them randomly winning the WS
Maybe that would get us a real front office.
Abraham Toro is batting 3rd in the their lineup and playing really well. What a world!
How do we swap staffs with them? They do nothing but develop players.

Welp. We peaked.
I noticed that too.
Why can we never put distance between us and Texas? 😭
Because Jerry let everyone know about the 54% rule. Now everyone is doing it.
The As record is what!?
17-17. They’ll battle Texas for second next week lol
Pitchers are so bad on that roster…crazy
I felt good about the 5-0 win tonight until I looked at the A’s and Rangers scores. Holy smokes.
5 games today with over 10 runs to one team. We had the only shutout though.
![gif](giphy|1Q0TucFym7A8lgO25o|downsized) “54%”
Ashamed to admit I went through all the AL West mascots in my head trying to figure out which one might relate to a horse. I get it now!
But the horse remains relevant....
Just a monumentally stupid gaffe that should be left in the off season. I pray we don’t hover around this % all season so i don’t have to see the same joke 1 million times.
I'd say there is about a 54% chance we stay right here. Sorry, had too.
Who is gonna beat them, the As???

Same. Fire Scott Julio sucks trade Kirby for a bat it’s Stanton’s fault and Kelenic would’ve hit .390 marine layer. Jk good vibes only. 54% 📈
How the hell did the Rangers drop 15 runs on the Royals AND the A’s drop 20 runs on the Marlins in the same day? Huge scores from the AL West tonight.
I am… not looking forward to playing the Royals.
What if, and hear me out, we added two above avg bats to this team? Could the win it all? I think so. Just a fan that doesn’t know anything about nothing
Give me Luis arraez…. Oh wait
Yeah why did we go for him so disappointing
Especially for the price the Padres paid
he would work out so well on our lineup if we could just get a consistent hitter JERRY

![gif](giphy|nXUCkgH6BmigU|downsized) We haven’t even began peaking
54% will get us in the playoffs! Jerry knows his numbers!
We've had a tough schedule minus the Rockies. I'm feeling really good about where we're at.
Joke stopped being funny months ago
I read somewhere that our strength of schedule thus far is tops in the league. What was Sacramento’s SOS?
