Open Thread: Spring Training Game 6 - A's vs. M's

Poochini-butt_in_box_2_tiny by Nico on Comment 298 comments

Noah Lowry has set the standard: The goal right now is to walk fewer than 9 batters per inning. Yikes. Outings like Blanton's and Zito's and Lowry's so far this spring remind you of how little spring training stats mean - and at the same time how fragile the art of pitching can be and how quickly it can bite you in the Ankiel. Enjoy the game today, and hey - let's not get hurt out there!

Furthermore

what about news regarding the latest multiple team trade in which we somehow manage to land LaRoche, Hu, Kershaw, and Kemp by trading away Blanton, Ellis, Chavez, Street, Meyer, and Simmons?

hard look

They must be giving brooks a very hard look this spring. He's been in pretty much all the ST games so far hasn't he? Or atleast made an appearance if he didn't start. So far i'm impressed with what i've seen out of him. I realize it's just ST, but it's still encouraging.

so...

he has made an appearance in all the games except for 1. Or are you not counting today's game? I'm not entirely sure how his defense is, but he seems to be holding his own so far.

I need my own prep time

Either that or I am working too much. Every time I see ST, I read it as "straight time" rather than Spring Training.

At least I see DJ and don't think "Don Jr" (my son).

Blanton. I'm not too worried. I'd rather have him working on getting the kinks out before the games count.

It's just more exciting with Billy Beane running the team.

He's much better today

Working fast, throwing strikes. My guess would be he's thrown less than 40 pitches through 3.

I met Blanton last year in ST

He said he really doesnt care about spring training at all, just uses it to get in shape and get used to pitching again.

I think this is why

you see inflated ERAs in ST because the pitchers just try to make sure and throw a lot of strikes, if they arent throwing strikes in ST..... (See Noah Lowry)
