im fine that the a's want to rebuild....i am excited from a few years down the road to see a strong young team that can have a decent amount of playoff seasons...basically the day chavvy's contract is over is when i think the a's will officially have a chance at getting a good team

1.  injuries - my biggest issue by far.  i hate when people attribute this to bad luck.  there has to be another piece to this puzzle.  43 times in the past 2 seasons?  the strength and conditioning coach, or the a's workout routines, or some aspect of them training has to be flawed.  So I expect the a's to go out and do something, tell the fans they are working on it.

2.  moneyball - needs to be more adjusted.  the a's have not been in a world series in almost 20 years.  i think billy beane is a genius, but in baseball, a year without winning a world series is not a complete sucess.  i think structurally but they need an RBI machine...someone who excels with RISP.  also, moneyball needs to be more situational.  if you are down and someone with decent power comes up with two outs, why not go for a big hit instead of trying to draw a walk.  we basically have the most men LOB every game, so why put it into the hands of someone with low hitting with RISP....

i am a die hard A's fan in NY....i use MLB extra innings to watch as many games as I can but lately the A's have been getting the shaft.....anyone else notice this?

It has been two games in a row that I cant watch the game....ive never really seen that with any other team in the past 2 years that I have been using this service

I mean i can always go back to using MLB.com services but after years of watching games that way I really dont want to go back

anyone else seeing the same problem?
