Open Thread: Game 28 - A's at Angels

Following last night's game the season is exactly 1/6 gone, which is how we know that:
* The A's will finish the season 102-60.
* Joe Blanton will be the tough-luck loser of 24 of those games.
* Emil Brown will drive in 150 runs.
Meanwhile, tonight it's...
GERG!!! The battle of young lefties features Greg Smith against Joe Saunders, and for the third time this season the starting lineup has not a left-handed hitter to be found, as Bob Geren apparently took this morning's post very seriously and decided that not only must Denorfia or Davis start at all times...they should both start:
Suzuki - C
Ellis - 2B
G. Sweeney - 1B
B. Hurt - DH
E. Brown - RF
Crosby - SS
Murphy - 3B
Denorfia - LF
Davis - CF
Figgins - 2B
Matthews Jr. - LF
Guerrero - RF
Hunter - CF
Aybar - SS
Quinlan - 1B
Anderson - DH
Mathis - C
Wood - 3B

track record
From the link: “very aware of the A’s track record of collapsing mid-way through the season”
Uh, how many years does it take to make a track record? How many times did we collapse midway through the season? Once? Twice?
For several years it was just the opposite. Lousy in April and/or May, about 500 at the All-Star Break, and then shazam in July and August. To me, that is the true A’s track record, last year notwithstanding.

I like this lineup
I like the idea of having Jack available against a reliever late in the game…from whom he is more likely to see a fb…and we don’t have to suffer his defense…

I still don't like
The trend of “G” Sweeney getting starts over Barton against lefties.
by HigherPie on Apr 29, 2008 6:55 PM PDT reply actions 0 recs
in the abstract, I agree
Given that we need to see if G/MSweeney has anything left in his tank, either for roster value or trade value, I’m not so opposed to platooning Barton in the short term.
Of course, with Barton looking like his batting stroke and power are coming into form …

On a hit-and-run you assume the batter will make contact, so you wait until you're absolutely sure the pitcher is going to the plate
If you get thrown out at 2nd, that’s on the hitter, not you.

Hi Pam! I was really out of it in last night's game and missed all the good stuff.
My former next door neighbors lived in the area of Suffolk, VA that got slammed by a tornado yesteray. I only found out this afternoon that their house was literally untouched.

I still think U have to have a LH hitter here and there
to mix it up.

Eh not really.
Liriano was terrible. Any lineup would dont that vs him that day. And Felix shut them down for 7inning 10Ks. We were lucky to win that game.
When will then be now? Soon.

I am fine with the way the game is trending thus far. It will set up a Big Hurt 3 run bomb off k-rod

He said he'd be in there till they tie it.
Another reason I hope that happens very soon.

If he's not gone after the next break
I’m switching to the Angels station. I’d rather listen to Physioc than Lew.

Great legs, Lew!
Things could be worse. Suppose your errors were counted and published every day, like those of a baseball player.
