A few teams are calling up some prospects, but there is no greater name in Sports than SHEA LANGELEIERS who is coming up for Oakland today. He was a primary prospect that the Braves sent to Oakland earlier for … who the hell did they get? Oh right, Matt Olson. How’s that working out for Atlanta? Pretty good I’d say.

Great contrarian pick with the AL Cy Young winner tonight.

Kremer has low K% against RHH so we’re going after that weakness with an obvious RH heavy lineup.
