Open Thread: Spring Training Game 28

Good morning! baseballgirl here. Due to Blez’s move to Southern California, I will be your host for the next couple of games. Together we will cheer, and hope, and wish, and cry...what?! The games still don’t count?!

<throws radio>

Anyway, today at 1:05, Danny Haren makes his last Spring Training start against the Angels in preparation for Opening Day (AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!). Just think... Haren’s next start kicks off the A’s season!! And if that isn’t something to get excited about, well then, I can’t help you. You’re made of stone.

Here are some necessary game-thread phrases to practice before the big day:

"mAgIcK gAmE tHrEaD bAnNiNg wAnD"
"Another DP?!"
"Fire Geren now!"
"Game over."
"Is Crosby/Harden/Bradley/Kotsay/Piazza/Stewart/Kielty/Loaiza/Chavez/Ellis okay?!"
"Oh no! The bases are loaded for the A’s with nobody out!"
"Free Melhuse!!!"
"regression to the mean"
"Remember when we used to pitch with five starters?"
"What is WRONG with you people?!"
"Call up Travis Buck!"
"JFK!!!!"
"We’re all going to die!!!!!!!!!!!"

i know thats all in fun, but you

bring up something interesting with the "Fire XXXX"

When Howe was in there everyone couldn't wait for him to leave and the all thought Macha would be a fine replacement.  Then once Macha actually started to speak to the public, everyone wanted him replaced.  Seeing as how many wanted Washington as the replacement, I wonder how soon the tides will turn on Geren, and will he really deserve any of the blame?

This A's team surely isn't as talented as ones from just a few years ago, and the Rangers seem to be heading in the right direction.  If the A's stumble out of the gate (again) and the Rangers charge with a full head of steam, how many are going to say "See, I told you we should have gone with Wash"?

I think this is a given

especially since the A's almost always have a slow start.

Ah, but...

will people be ranting about wanting to lie in wait for Geren with weapons when the team returns from a road trip?

I made a promise...

...that when the A's got rid of Macha, I would NEVER complain about the next manager.

I intend to stick to that.

Now we have 6 or 7 months to enjoy, to cheer, cry, and scream both in frustration and happiness. ~china bob

You forgot

Small sample size.  And I think the Travis Buck line is going to be "Free Travis Buck" and we're going to hear it sooner than you think.

Free Travis Buck

I hope it has a better following, and shorter lifeline than the "Free Matt Watson" slogan.

Did Street just say . . .

That if he had the opportunity to play in the WBC again, he would.  And then go on to say that having a regular spring training better prepares him for the regular season? Ugh.

Let's hope that opportunity never presents itself again.

Kielty's not that DP prone

In 2006 he only coverted 14.3% of his DP opportunities. Our worst offenders with > 5 GIDP? Of course it's the catching crew, Melheuse with 22.2% and Kendall with 21.3% -- best on the A's were Swish and DJ, with 8.8% and 9.0% respectively.

by CrunchyFrog83 on Mar 28, 2007 1:28 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

RHP

So Kielty's batting from the left, I assume. Hopefully Geren's just getting this out of his system so that he can focus on putting Kielty in the most strict platoon ever once the season starts.

see the DLD

salb posted about it in the DLD. Sounds like Goleski got a pretty raw deal. Of course, complaining to the papers about it probably won't help him make AAA.
