Open Game Thread: Game 58 - Tigers vs. A's (cont.)

A's are up 1-0 and Harden is looking like King Richard, already punching out five.  It looks to me like he might be throwing his splitter once again.  Then again, his changeup behaves like a splitter at times.  Harden is tough to tell at times. 

Imagine actually facing him in the batter's box.

LET'S GO A'S, GET SOME MORE OFFENSE!

but then again I’m only listening on radio.

Harden' change is so fast and moves so much

Gameday thinks he’s constantly throwing sliders.

If there is one negative to Harden

it’s the fact that his stuff is so hard to hit that his pitch count gets high so quickly. Then again, I’d take that any day of the week.

I've been sleeping most of the day.

I get up at 3:30 so I can catch my 5:00 ride and get to the airport early. I think I waited five minutes in the security line. So the flight boards, starts to taxi, then goes back to the gate to get some more fuel. Tuns out there are thunderstorms in KC and we might have to fly around a little bit. I slept through the entire flight, though. I don’t even remember the pilot giving us the okay to unbuckle. Then I got up when they made an announcement about turbulence. I slept on the ride home, then went straight to bed and got up a little bit ago.

Right when the 1st thread opened

I almost posted a comment in which I said I hoped the 1-3 hitters had bad nights so that Rogers wouldn’t be able to get Emil to ground in 4 6-4-3 DPs tonight. I felt that was too negative, so I just said that I wasn’t real happy about that matchup.

In his first 3 ABs, Emil has been HBP, hit a comebacker, and grounded into a 6-4-3 DP. Shoulda gone with my first impulse.

Detroit was taking MUCH better swings that inning

Either Harden’s fastball isn’t as fast (or as well-located) as it was earlier in the game, or they’re recognizing the offspeed stuff better and are more comfortable jumping on the fastball. Granderson’s HR looked like a hung splitter

The difference between the two teams the past few weeks

is their pitching has been really solid. We have a 6.88 ERA the last 7 days not counting today.
