Open Thread: Game 36 - A's vs. Orioles
Well, the A's take the field for the day game, in what will be their fifth sweep opportunity this young season. Although this homestand has been lacking an offensive explosion (the A's hadn't scored more than 3 runs until yesterday), they are looking to leave town with a 4-2 record with a win today.
Joe Blanton will take his tough W/L record to the mound in an effort to secure his third win of the season. Despite sporting a 3.88 ERA in eight pretty quality starts, he has only won two games, while losing five, in a combination of opposing ace pitching, poor defense behind him, and just bad luck so far this season. If you had told me before the season that Blanton would be 2-5 in the second week of May, I would have put the A's record somewhere near the Rangers. But clearly, Blanton has absorbed most of the A's poor play, and there is probably no one more anxious than he to turn things around.
On the opposing end, the A's will be facing RHP Jeremy Guthrie, and MLB's Mychael Urban correctly called Mike Sweeney's start today, but he is the DH, so Barton is in the lineup also.
Baltimore:
Torres, 2B
Mora, 3B
Markakis, RF
Huff, DH
Scott, LF
Millar, 1B
Payton, CF
Hernandez, R, C
Hernandez, L, SS
Your 2008 Oakland Athletics:

If Sweeney is starting,
Thomas really shouldn’t be.
A day off once in a while for Barton is fine, but there’s no way he should be sitting for 2 games out of a 3-game series.

With how Eveland/Smith have been pitching, you can't mess that up
Gaudin has bounced from ‘pen to SP, and has been a fill-in; Smith/Eveland have real SP careers in front of them.

Its only a bummer becuase Gaudin looks healthy
and we saw what he did in a Healthy first half last year…
I just don’t have a better option that I can think of either.
Unless one of the rook’s starts looking bad like they need to be sent down.
Let’s hope that doesn;t happen though.

Hmmm... not so sure about the Guadin move
We tend to forget that he just turned 25 because he’s been so productive for the last few years. All three (Eveland and Smith) are the same age but obviously Gaudin has more experience and in my opinion has the best stuff of the three. Maybe this is a temporary move and he’ll go back to the rotation soon, alternating Smith, Eveland, and Duke to the pen in an attempt to keep innings down.

Any Cust bashing I do is purely in jest
and not my way of wanting him out of the lineup. I’m a huge Cust fan, but the guy isn’t good defensively. And, usually, it’s funnybad.
Hey, if these are our guys, we should be allowed to rib them a little.

Not really (A good trainer knows when not to race them)
I raced 2 year olds but I always had their knees x-rayed. They are not formed right or knitted together when they are young. I would only race them if their knees were perfect. Many sires are known for producing youngsters and some of them look like 3 year olds when they are 2.
I purchased a yearling once and went and looked at a bunch in a paddock. There were about 15 of them and I said, who is the 2 year old out there and the guy said, “That is a yearling and a late foal to boot. He was a good hand and a half taller than the rest and was built like a brick shithouse. His conformation was perfect and his knees were developed.
Not much experience with Gallopers though. They are so much more fragile than a standardbred
