Open Thread: Game 71 - A's at Arizona

PrintOakland Athletics at Arizona Diamondbacks, Jun 18, 2008 6:40 PM PDT
Dan Haren left the A's this off-season as a fan favorite, passed to Arizona in exchange for a strong pool of talent, including today's #6 hitter, Carlos Gonzalez, who has impressed me significantly in his few short weeks in the majors thus far, capped by a TiVo-worthy play in deep right field last night.
While we A's fans may root for Haren in his other 30-plus starts this season, tonight, we're looking to see if he can follow in fellow pitcher Brandon Webb's footsteps, letting the A's finally give Joe Blanton that run support he just can't seem to buy.
So far, Blanton has been on the losing side of many close games, racking up a 3-9 record, the worst in the Bay Area this side of Barry Zito. His won-loss ratio belies his 4.23 ERA and acceptable K/BB ratio of 1.84, and he maintains the support of A's manager Bob Geren, quoted elsewhere as saying "Joe is on his game". Haren has done better, coming into tonight with a 76/15 K/BB ratio, a 3.41 ERA and a 6-4 record.
Rumor has it that the winner of tonight's duel between the one-time roommates has to buy the other one dinner. I for one hope that Joe will be footing the bill.

I guess we’re a real good team 80% of the time.
Forget trading this guy—unless it’s a dump to get Gaudin in there. Blanton is simply not good this year.
Unrelated note
Chipper is 2 for 3 so far tonight with a home run
I’m really pulling for him to stay above .400
he was roughly 0-73 against the Angels last weekend
I hope he doesn’t stay above .400.

I know that your not suppose to tip your hand as a GM
but seriously Billy. “I want close to the same return for Blanton as I got for Haren” is just a ludicrious statement. That had to get a few laughs from other GM’s. Blanton is not a bad pitcher but he is nowhere near the talent that Haren is.

On the flip side...
If Billy is really high on Blanton, maybe other GM’s will bite because of his past success with pitchers.

The Sad thing about this is they will not take him out of

What a POS this guy is
Gads, I hate the IBB to get to pitcher
really, It’s bad.
I wouldn't go that far
"The two of them deserve each other. One's a born liar, the other's convicted."
That IBB was a bad move,
Haren’s first AB, he fought Blanton for 9-pitches, he was definitely ready the 2nd around.
Thank God for Gaudin
I was obviously giving Cupcakes more credit than he deserves by calling him mediocre.
Seriously, i see no reason to keep him in the rotation—and his trade value has been shot to hell.
not really shot to hell
remember that the Yankees need a pitcher bad
"The two of them deserve each other. One's a born liar, the other's convicted."

It would be nice if they could score at least one…

Lets be honest
Who here didn’t think that the A’s had a chance of this happening tonight. I wasnt sure about Blanton exploding but I was pretty sure the A’s would not get very many hits and or runs against Haren.

It's only the 4th
And Dan has thrown a ton of pitches already.

I think they can hit off the bullpen
Im just not so sure off of Haren.

yeah it's still only the 4th
and Haren has a few pitches

ok guys i just got back from a date
(shut up, i’m on Eastern time)
and every time i have seen this guy, A’s score at least 8 runs that day
so we will be ok, it’s my magic.
Fine. Who wins in extra innings?

Did he/she at least put out?
Because the A’s are easily getting put out.

OK I'm on board.
If we lose though, you gotta call it off.
