Open Thread: Game 44 - A's @ Braves
Oakland Athletics at Atlanta Braves, May 17, 2008 4:10 PM PDT
After getting burned by one former Athletic (Mark Kotsay) in last night's 3-2 loss, the Green and Gold will look to prevent another former comrade (Tim Hudson) from pitching the Braves into a series win tonight at Turner Field. Opposing Huddy will be Rich Harden, who will make his second start back from his latest DL-stint and we'd all like to see him improve upon his performance last Sunday in Texas, where he struggled with his control en-route to allowing five runs in only 3 2/3 innings. Ideally, Rich will be more aggressive in the strikezone, pitch-to-contact and last deeper into the game, but of course I've learned long ago never to bank on "ideal" scenarios with regards to Harden, but rather to expect the worst scenario and also just to be content with whatever scenario keeps him off the DL (note to GerFrancesco: DO NOT LET Harden swing the bat and if he gets on base by some miracle, DO NOT send him home on any potentially close plays at the plate.)
As far as the offense goes, is 3 runs over 9 innings asking for too much? Sadly, I guess it is, but the guys are due for one of those slump-busting, blow-out wins and for all of the frustration that last night's loss entailed, it was encouraging to see Cust get ahold of one early in the game that almost left the park, Crosby string together a 3-hit night and Bad Sweeney make solid contact in all of his plate appearances en-route to a 2-hit night. So I'll remain optimistic that the offense will come around sooner or later, and why couldn't that be tonight? Good Sweeney is the only current Athletic to have faced Huddy in multiple games, and he's had some some success against the former (and current?) ace, going 8-for-21, with 3 walks, 1 K, and 4 RBI's. Yet, all of Sweeney's hits against Tim were of the single-base variety, and guess what, he's not even in lineup tonight, so that doesn't even really matter!
It's seems like so long since Huddy wore Green and Gold and since the roster has been turned over so many times since he was traded I guess facing his former team won't be weird for him, as he says, "There aren't many of the guys I played with still over there. But it will still be fun to pitch against my old team."...and yet, the memories are still there for me, especially with regards to Huddy. After reading Mychael Urban's ACES: The Last Season on the Mound with The Big Three, I personally came to really appreciate the things Hudson brought to the organization on and off-the field, unfortunately right at the same time that he was traded to the Braves. Hudson just seemed like an awesome clubhouse presence, a true leader/bulldog/warrior, and a guy's guy that perfectly bridged the gap between Mulder's jockish arrogance and Zito's disconnected eccentricities. While the lefties always seemed more self-interested, Huddy was the consummate team ra-ra guy, always standing at the ledge of the dugout during games and always one of the first ones to congratulate position players on jobs-well-done. That type of attitude is rare in today's pro-sports environment and I think the A's are still kind of searching for his heir in that regard.
With all that being said, and with a dash of nostalgic wishful thinking, what do you guys think are the chances that Hudson might one day wear the Green and Gold once again? Since leaving Oakland, Huddy has re-established his reputation for durability, as he averaged 211 innings pitched from 2005-2007 to go along with a 3.91 ERA. He's signed through next season with a mutual option for 2010 worth $12 million. At that time, Huddy will be 34, but might be worth more than 12-mil on the open market, especially to a team like the A's who might be breaking-in a flurry of rookies to the starting rotation and could use a stabilizing, veteran presence on the mound. Two years, $28 million? Any chance at all of that happening?
In other news:
- Eric Chavez continued his rehab stint in Sacramento last night and went 2-for-2 with two doubles and an RBI, although he left the game early due to "tired legs". I'm starting to come around in thinking that Chavez + Buck + CarGon might just be the mid-season jolt that the offense needs to keep the team competitive in the dog days of summer.
- Speaking of Tired Legs, Dana Eveland, "walked in the 6th and admitted later that all the baserunning left him fatigued by the bottom of the inning, when the Braves scored twice." I know that Eveland had his first major league hit last night and is not used to running bases, but the guy's 24 years old, is a professional athlete and played in the National League for the last several years. You'd think that he'd be physically and mentally prepared for a few 90-feet jogs every now and then without using them as an excuse for ineffective pitching?

A clever statistician could investigate
Do pitchers have higher RA after being on base the previous inning?
Control vs innings they batted, but did not get on, and all innings.
There may be some correlations due to batting orders on the two teams being aligned.
Me too
why do you think I wrote a comment instead of doing it.
Hoped some other person would take the bait
why isn't the game on extra innings?

I'm not usually an overly sensitive or PC person...
...but I find the whole “Good Sweeney/Bad Sweeney” thing to be extremely juvenile and in poor taste.
Some read stats. Others actually watch the game.
It's also not really apt anymore.
“Bad” Sweeney has been swinging the bat well. What if I reversed the connotations so that Mike is Bad and Ryan is good? Would that make things any better or just a whole lot worse?
No, no, no -
He’s Bad Sweeney even when he’s better than Good Sweeney.

"Evidently, a large number of people said, 'We really need more vermin at the ballpark, Artie.'" - Nick (AN), 10/7/07
why is barton in the lineup
last ten games .088 BA and 3 for his last 34 while Mike Sweeney is hitting over .300!!!
Beating LAA or wherever the fu*k they are, Priceless!
I ask myself the same thing everytime I see Sweeney on the bench
Geren does not like making it easier on the team.
Having said that all we can do it hope Barton gets a few hits today to build his confidence
Few Things
on Eveland: Its a well known fact that running the bases = tires out pitchers. Thats why NL pitchers generally don’t go for the extra base when they don’t have to, etc. And yeah he might be 24, but he also is the weight of a small killer whale.
As for Huddy, I doubt he’d sign a 2 year deal. He’ll be going for at least 3 years, likely 4 or 5, and will probably get it, and may even get more than $12 million a year (probably $13). And there’s also the likely-good chance that he stays in ATL.
And also remember that we have a Rotation Crunch right now as is, so I doubt we’d sign an expensive starter unless someone not named Harden goes down. Then again, who knows if we will have anyone challenging for a rotation spot out of the minors next year. Gio Gonzalez is struggling in AAA, and Jason Windsor James Simmons is still in Double A.
Unfair on the Windsor-Simmons comps.
Simmons is still in Double-A since he’s only 21 years old and this is his first full-season in the minors. He’s doing well, he’ll likely finish the year in AAA, he’s got a lot better “stuff” than Windsor and he’ll compete for a rotation spot next Spring.
Agreed that Huddy will probably take more money elsewhere or something similar from ATL to stay close to home, but I was just wishful thinking anyways.
Gio does not look good so far this season.
Eveland is a hulk of a man, but I just don’t like the idea of him placing the blame for pitching poorly on running the bases when he’s surely done that before in his career.
Running the bases...
not a whole lot in his career. He didn’t do it in his time in the Majors, since he never got a hit. And he likely didn’t do it in the minors much since pitchers only hit in what? AA and AAA, and only when 2 NL farmclubs face each other.
Does Emil ever take the proper route to a fly ball?

He didn't get there until a split second before Crosby caught it.
That should have been a no brainer catch by a good CF. Sweeney is not a good CF.
If it is, I'm sure he'll pull a muscle in 3 innings.
