Open Thread: Game 71 - A's at Arizona (cont.)

As_kings_cal_tiny by louismg on Comment 234 comments

Well, that first game thread didn't do much for me.

Aside from their pitching and their hitting, the game so far has been all A's. After 3 innings, the A's run differential in the first two games of this series has been reduced from +14, to only +6 with a 15-9 tally.

Instead of keeping the game close and finding the A's offense to blame for a heart-breaking loss, Blanton changed things up by giving up 8 runs, including 2 in the first, and a shocking bases loaded double from Dan Haren. It's now 8-0 D'Backs, and it could be a long six innings the rest of the way.

Show some life, A's!

How about next time

we get someone to buy Blanton dinner if he wins the game?

I just hope he’s traded before his next turn comes up.

I guess if they were flirting with the Mendoza line and showing no promise

than I would agree. However, Barton shows pretty good plate discipline meaning that he is not overmatched. CarGo looks quite comfy to me at this point and we have no true CF’er so he may as well learn on the job.

by asfaninpismobeach on Jun 18, 2008 8:05 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

Last time I was on here

I stated the facts. Barton CAN become a very good 1st baseman. he is not there yet. His OPS is .669, that is 41st in MLB for 1st Baseman. He has a long way to prove that he is a SPECIAL player. Like I said before, there was a huge amount of Dan Johnson love at one time also.

by asfaninpismobeach on Jun 18, 2008 8:12 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

And what depth do the A's have at 1B?

What’s your case against Gonzalez? He’s handling himself well up here so far.

You can look at facts, but you don’t seem to do a good job with them.

Dude, I didnt say send them down

I said if it were a true rebuilding year they could use some more seasoning. How is that putting down a player or saying that he is not good? Dont even try and try to put words in my mouth. Gonzalez is OPS .658. 127th best in MLB.

thats what most A’s fans talk about when Jack Cust is mentioned. So I figure its a great place to start. You like to hack away at my stats and argument. Tell me a reason why they dont need more seasoning at their age?

Patrol Craft’s LD %. That might tell us something…..................

There is no one stat

If the team is rebuilding, they might as well get their experience against Major League pitching now instead of in a year or two where it’s going to hurt the team more if they struggle.

How you have so much trouble understanding that simple concept, I have no idea.

Exactly what I said

at the beginning of this what-turned-into-being-a-stupid-argument.

But to me, the question to ask yourself is not how Cargo and Barton rank in comparison to the rest of baseball, but to the rest of the organization. Honestly, do we have anyone better than Barton at 1B right now? Do we have anyone better than Cargo? I really don’t think we do, unless you’re an Emil Brown fan.

Did Duke also have a 3-run double?

I think I missed that at-bat.

More than just ANtics: http://www.louisgray.com/live/

by louismg on Jun 18, 2008 8:27 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

Yes

But it was retracted once the umps got together and decided that Duke didn’t swing the bat and there was no one on base. They totally blew the call.

It sucks to keep dumping on him

but Barton has a problem. I say we put him and Blanton on the trade bus out of Oakland

The veterans on the A's didn't get a hit off Haren

the rookies did and scored a run. I wonder if the veteran actually fear Haren

The biggest mistake Rob Bowen ever made

was running over Bob Geren’s puppy.

I have a question for the talented minds

What is Blanton’s current trade value.

I know what I would value him at but rather than post something really negative, I want to know what you really think he might be worth.

by Trainman on Jun 18, 2008 8:34 PM PDT reply actions   0 recs

you mean

what would Blanton and Street’s package value be? is that what you mean? ;)

They need a pitching change like 2 batters ago.

Perez was throwing meatballs the inning before but only gave up one

And they take the lead for good

At least he got on base.

Blanton proved he wasn’t a starter and Gaudin didn’t walk through the open door cupcakes left him.

Because the game wasn't going badly enough,

Carlos Gonzalez hurt himself (hopefully not badly) sliding into 2B on the last play of the game, after Ellis was HBP and left the game in the 8th. Please let them be ok.
