Open Thread: Spring Training Game 27

Cactus League action is wrapping up and all eyes figure to be on Joe Kennedy in his final chance to prove he can get hitters out. 9.2 innings of 31 hit ball have made people understandably nervous, but Kennedy remains--if by default--the front runner to start the regular season's fifth game. You could say that for the second time, a Nation is turning its lonely eyes to a Joe. So you can bet that if the A's lose 1-0 today, we'll all be breaking out the champagne.

On Some Shrimp

"on some shrimp"
Like the game of adding "between the sheets" to the end of fortune cookie sayings, you could start adding "on some shrimp" to anagrams just for the hell of it...

A man. A plan. A Canal. Panama on some shrimp.
by salb918 on Mar 27, 2007 12:41 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs
that's not an anagram
that's a pun
by ArakSOT on Mar 27, 2007 12:43 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs
it's not a pun.
It's a palindrome on some shrimp.
by Poppy on Mar 27, 2007 12:55 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs
And on that subject...
It really bothers me that the word "palindrome" is not a palindrome. They should have called it something else, like a palinilap or something.
by Poppy on Mar 27, 2007 12:57 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs
That's it
We have to start a campaign to rename the word. In fact:
I, Philip Christy of Athletics Nation, hereby declare the word "Palindrome," to be henceforth renamed as the word "Palinilap"; and so, from this date forward, whenever the old word "Palindrome" is to be used, it will be replaced by the word "Palinilap." The use of the word "Palindrome" will only be used to refer to the old spelling and pronunciation of the word "Palinilap."

Jeez
I knew his ERA is atrocious, but I didn't realize that Kennedy allowed 31 friggin hits in 9.2 innings.

1-0, if we lose 3-0 and Kennedy pitches 6 innings
I will bet on the A's for the WS.

Go Go Big Joe!
Since the A's have sent Windsor To Triple-A I guess they are dead-set on trying Kennedy for a couple starts to begin the season, let's hope he turns it around ..

Why not start Gaudin?
by baseballgirl on Mar 27, 2007 10:50 AM PDT reply actions 0 recs
Conjecture, but I can think of several things:
- moving Gaudin to starter and Joe_K back to the bullpen leaves possibly three lefties in the pen {Kennedy, Embree, and either Halsey or Marshall}
- Gaudin's control issues are still a question-mark
- Gaudin is like Kennedy in that he has been effective from the pen but is an "unknown" as starter
by Randy Bell on Mar 27, 2007 11:01 AM PDT up reply actions 0 recs
The answer is obvious baseballgirl:
because he started yesterday!
by rebus on Mar 27, 2007 11:16 AM PDT up reply actions 0 recs
OH i agree with BBG ..
.. that Kennedy has been awful .. I just don't know if we have any better options right now, other than making a trade and getting someone from outside ..

HR
At some point earlier this spring, there was distress due to the A's being near the bottom in terms of team HRs. Well, after yesterday's game, we are now tied with the Yankees for spring training home runs. I think that if we can keep up with NYY for team home runs all season, then we'll be doing pretty well.
And just in case you thought this has any predictive value, the team with the most spring HRs is the offensive juggernaut from San Diego.

TeeHee, the A's games - Outcome determined by ..
.. later innings .. with Charles Thomas and Brown, Merloni, Perez, Goleski, Bocachica, Barton, Buck, Suzuki, Ledee, ... well granted that Ruby, Barton and Buck were/are pretty good but .. most ST games are determined by the prospects and non-roster invitees .. folks the average A's fan may not know or even have heard of ...

Kennedy was a good fit in the 'pen last year.
But I have never liked him as a starter. To quote one of may favorite Bill King adjectives, Kennedy's career numbers are "pedestrian."
CAREER:
W L ERA
39 52 4.79
I just don't see him getting through the batting order the second time around...Something he clearly never had to deal with as a reliever. I think the numbers bear this out.
2006 in relief
W L ERA
4 1 2.31
by WannaBeGM on Mar 27, 2007 11:15 AM PDT reply actions 0 recs
Agree - Joe_K is definitely better in the pen ..
.. problem is that Beane signed Embree to replace Kennedy in the pen, so clearly our GM wants to try Kennedy as starter ..

If most teams watched him, they won't be able to stash him on the 25 man roster, unless you are a very bad team to begin with.
