Open Thread: Game 56 - A's @ Rangers
Oakland Athletics at Texas Rangers, May 31, 2008 5:05 PM PDT
The A's will look for some deja vu good luck with the lumber tonight as they face off against Sidney Ponson, whom they knocked around pretty nicely the last time he faced them back on May 11th, as the Big Aruban gave up 7 hits, 6 runs and 5 walks in only 5.1 innings of work. Hopefully, Brown and Ellis (combined 5-for-10 with a HR and 4 RBIs) can put in similar efforts tonight as they did in that contest and help the struggling Oakland offense get back-on-track.
Mr. Reliable Joe Blanton (3-6, 3.92 ERA) will take the hill tonight opposing Ponson. We all know the drill with Joe pitching well enough to win but never getting run support, and as much as he says it might not bother him, you've gotta think that pitching with a lead every once in awhile would do a whole lot of good for a guy who is so often aggressive in the strikezone - especially against a very patient yet potent Texas offense.
While all eyes will likely be on CarGon tonight to see if he can continue where he left off in his stellar big league debut, my eyes will be focused squarely on Travis Buck. "Goldilocks", as he is affectionately known around my household, has gone through a roller coaster few months. Coming off a solid .850 OPS rookie season, Buck seemed like someone that future A's offenses could be built around: a sweet-swinging, selectively aggressive corner outfielder with emerging power and better-than-average speed. And yet, Buck totally collapsed in the first few weeks of the season, looking totally lost at the plate, striking out a ton and rolling over on pitches he used to crush into the left-center gap. Curiously, Buck blamed some of his struggles on the departure of Nick Swisher , which is something I just find odd given that with both Swisher and Haren gone and the organization in full-rebuild mode, there should have been no pressure at all placed on Travis:
I was putting a lot of pressure on myself and I wanted to make everyone happy instead of just doing what I do best. A lot of stuff was being thrown my way with (Nick) Swisher being gone and I definitely wasn't ready - I let it get to me a little. So I took a step back and I proved a lot to myself by how I took (the brief demotion), how focused I was.
Buck seemed to get his act together in AAA, getting his OPS back up to .892 and pulling his BB/K ratio back up to a respectable level (13/16). And yet, watching him last night strike out looking on a pitch right down the middle in his first at bat, then roll over on an outside off-speed pitch his second at-bat and then flailing for a swinging third strike on his 3rd at-bat sure didn't fill me with a lot of confidence that he's overcome his demons. Hopefully, we'll see a wise, confident, even brash Buck from tonight on and not the feeble, passive Buck that got demoted to the minors at the beginning of the month and who reared his ugly head last evening...
And speaking of struggling "future bed rocks of the Oakland offense", Daric Barton has been given the night off and Jack "of all infield trades" Hannahan is getting his first start over at first base. Lordy lordy, it's been an interesting 48 hours!

just hit a walk off HR for his first career HR. Man what I wouldnt give to have a prospect like him in out system.
When will then be now? Soon.

After seeing Hamilton this year. I would have traded almost any pitcher the A’s had straight up. That dude can do it all. He could be the triple crown winner this year.

Well Texas payed for it big time..
with Volquez. But they they are both insane.
When will then be now? Soon.
C-Gon has me pretty excited. Bruce and Carlos might not be quite on the same level, but I think Gonzales has the potential to be a Beltran type player.

Just to get this out of the way now
In my house, he’s “CarGo.” And we’re excited too.

We don't have one .300 hitter in the lineup

or is it just the comparison to Ponson?

I was suprised at fan fest how thin he was. I was picturing a very large man, but he looked somewhat athletic and fit in relation to how much people complain of his weight.

Nope
he has to actually see four balls go by. He has done it 8 times this year. We will see about number 9.
by asfaninpismobeach on May 31, 2008 5:26 PM PDT up reply actions
What if Ponson drips some nacho cheese on his right hand while the Rangers are at bat
and then, not being able to control himself, licks the delicious, orange goo off each finger while Brown is up?
I think that would end up being a walk, even without Emil taking a single pitch.

Blanton looks like he's having one of those games
where his fastball is straight and down the middle, and his curve kinda loops without really breaking.
He does this a few times a year—IIRC because his arm slot drops.

I bet tonight will be Ziegler’s debut
Let's have our Piazza and eat the Cust too - SPWC
The Rangers have hitters all through the line-up we dont
Their #9 hitter is hitting better than anyone on our team (.290).
The lack of hitting is going to do us in.
Then again Jack Cust is due to break out of his current slump. I mean I am told he is our best hitter.
If he is then the GM needs to bring some people in asap.

Wow Cat...
But I will say this, this shows how different the offenses have been. Cat just slaps the ball and gets a hit, the A’s can’t even get it out of the infield (save buck)
The Angels were doing their best to help us but unlike this team
they manage to manufacture a run or two at the right time.
Texas owns us so far this year so that should give un an indication of how far we are going at the moment
Gawd. These bastards are trying to really rub it in.
Basically just saying “since you A’s are sucking at everything right now I’m gonna run until you throw me out.” But I guess with E-Meal and Nervous Nelly Buck out there, I’d test these guys out too!
Sacrifice Chavvy
Since I think all bad things Oakland A’s begin with Chavvy … how about, you know, a human sacrifice?
Can anybody find for me the A’s record the last 4 years in games in which Chavvy played and games in which he did not play? I’m sure someone will prove me wrong, but I’d be almost dead certain the A’s are a more winning team without him …
Yarth
Not the game I wanted to wander into.

God, people, can you calm down for 30 seconds?
Look, this team was hardly the ‘27 Yankees to begin with. And then, over the last few days, we’ve seen FThomas and both Sweeneys go on the DL. Chavez, coming off 3 surgeries, ended his rehab early to come back. Ellis is playing on an injured hamstring. CGon is making his ML debut.
We’re all excited to some extent to see new guys, or old guys we haven’t seen for a while, but to some extent this team is at a string-and-bubblegum phase.
This is what a rebuilding season can look like. Wear it.
"And Julio Franco is batting right-handed!" -- Wayne Hagin, A's radio play-by-play, mid-80s
Well Nick.
It’s hard to take with such a promising beginning. We get what you are saying but we are watching a game and some emotion isn’t outta line. I am just glad it’s 3 runs. I am still hopeful for the game and THIS SEASON.
if we had sucked balls to start the season
I wouldn’t have any expectations and it wouldn’t hurt that we keep tanking for 7 games in a row
I know how frustrating it is
and I don’t mind seeing people express their frustration. But the “let’s call up Doolittle” and “let’s dump everybody - they suck!!” stuff - which is making suggestions about how to improve the team—is dumb.
Rebuilding teams are inconsistent, and we’ve been hit with a huge number of injuries and changes in the last week. I guess people can freak out if they want, but people on AN should really understand what this team is—and that should temper people’s “WE GOTTA GO FOR IT ALL NOW ON MAY 31ST!!!” stuff.

Blanton about as worthless as goats
balls
Worst starter on the A’s bar none
What's bad about this is...
...Blanton’s trade value gets lower and lower with every start. Billy maybe should have puled the trigger in Spring Training.
A's, baby!
is there a particular story behind calling Blanton 'Cupcakes'?s
sorry, i’m kind of a noob around here.
but I do love yelling “C’MON, CUPCAKES!” at the TV.
And Geren will trot this huge tub of excrement back out for
more pounding especially if we score some more runs here
Blanton's always had a tendency to pitch games like this
It’s happened every year. Do you folks remember that putrid start in Tampa Bay (it was something like 8 runs in 1+ innings)?
He does this 5 times a year or so. Maybe he’ll have one season where, sorta randomly, he doesn’t do it at all, and he’ll win 20. But that probably won’t happen.
His tendency to do this is exactly why he’s an “innings-eater” and not a true ace. I don’t think that’ll exactly be news to any other GMs out there.
