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

Email
PrintA'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!

Harden' change is so fast and moves so much
Gameday thinks he’s constantly throwing sliders.
"We were s--, pathetic," Guillen growled early in spring training. "We hit too many home runs."
BTW, who the hell is Clete Thomas?

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

Ok, so I have to give credit to the Tigers TV announce crew, they are probably the best
visiting team crew that I have heard. They give decent facts and they are not crazy homers for the Tigers. Some of the games on the Extra Innings package are just unlistenable because of the announce team. Just an observation while I wait for some A’s offense….or is that an oxymoron?
There is no A in OFFENSE!!
I must agree. In year's past they were absolutely horrible.
They must have had John Madden’s TV coach.

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.
That won’t get it done.
Their lack of hitting has been masked by the very good pitching.
Their pitching will turn to shit soon enough. It happens to everyone.
And, Mariners are stuck
in a swamp of despair. They have no will to live. Too bad.

NBC's teaser for the intermission analysis
“The plan for 3OT”
1) Try not to puke during your shift
2) Pass out only after you’re on the bench
3) Either score a f**king goal or punch someone right in the nose—I’m tired of this shit.

Wednesday, June 4 is the first Food Bank Wednesday this season
Bring 2 cans of food and donate to the Food Bank and you’ll get a free ticket to an upcoming A’s game – Plaza Reserved seats – not a bad deal!!
The Food Bank will be at every Wednesday home game from June 4 through the end of September.

If it's like last year
You can also donate $5 and get the free ticket coupon as well. Good deal all around.

Yes, of course.
Because the Food Bank has tons of extra money to spend frivolously on you.

LOL @ Korach
Keith Foulke sails thru a 1-2-3 inning.
Yeah, I guess he got the 1-2-3 but it was nearly a 1-2-4 inning
I predict
That Mark Ellis gets a plate appearance this inning.
What do I win?

Paging Raj Davis...Raj Davis, please report to 1st base.

anyone else
notice how Raj just dances around on the bases and doesn’t seem to quite know what to do with his blazing speed?

Bugging the hell out of the opposing pitcher
is actually a much higher percentage approach than actually running..

annoying the sh*t out of the hitter
is a very good way of distracting a right hander when he’s trying to hit

That might not be such a bad thing with Emil up there...
