Open Game Thread - Game 73: A's vs. Marlins

Rich Harden and the A's open up a three-game series with the Marlins tonight at the Coliseum.  The Marlins will be throwing 6 foot-9 inch, 240-pound Mark Hendrickson, who sports a 5.74 ERA.  Hendrickson is one of only 11 athletes in history to play in both MLB and the NBA.  

The A's are starting arguably the greatest defensive lineup combination in baseball tonight, with Rajai Davis in CF, Carlos Gonzalez in right, and Ryan Sweeney in left, and the usual stellar infield.  Let's hope they can get some hits, too.

to the Rangers after the AS break… and Rich was, like, totally kicking ass? And then he accidentally licked his fingers on the while he was on the mound? He was, like, totally behind in the count, but he came back to get the guy. Is was awesome.

i'm trying to figure out what's up with Rich pushing his belt down after every K

seems like it must be one of those ‘covert maneuvers’ to push the cup around (i.e. bocro always pulling up his pants on his left thigh with his right hand) but i can’t see how he could make decent contact. hm.

I know it man

I hope Barton is the future but he has been pathetic the first half of 2008. Let me fill some A’s fans in, Barton had the second worst hitting May EVER in Oakland A’s history. Not worst Firstbaseman or Rookies but worst for any hitter ever in Oakland history. People put Emil brown down?They want Brown DFA? Brown has struck out less then Barton, has more hits, more XBH, more RBI’s, more Hr’s and better SLG %. Barton has more walks, walks are the only thing that Barton has down better then Brown, so why is Brown our scapegoat? Why are we(me included), so hard on Brown when guys like Barton cant hit either?

Ugh. This official scorer really, really has no clue about baseball

For the second straight year, whoever the A’s official scorer is just can’t seem to understand the concept of what an error actually is. He seems to be a part of that idiotic “if it touches your glove, you should make the play” school of thought that is really only preached by little league coaches who were bad athletes.

I know getting annoyed by an official scorer is a little trivial, but this guy is just plain terrible going on a couple years straight now (assuming it’s the same person).

Back to Harden tonight

He had a lot of fly balls tonight from what the box score says, was that more of his control issues or good hitters?

by A'sfaninNC on Jun 20, 2008 8:49 PM PDT reply actions  

he was leaving pitches up often and missing Zook's glove

I think he was lucky only to give up 1 homer… there were a few deep balls in the 5th.

He throws his fb high in the zone always, becuase it is tough to hit there;

he’s never going to get a lot of gbs.He was perhaps a bit off tonight, but still awesome as usual.

by mikeA on Jun 20, 2008 8:52 PM PDT up reply actions  

I think a lot of would-be swings and misses

at his high fastball were fly ball outs instead because he didn’t have quite the usual zip on it.

hindsight is great

might have gone to Ziggy too much in previous games.
We needed him to pick up Street, but he didn’t last long.

6-6 going to the bottom of the ninth.

Nice play by Ellis

I know the Marlins have some good hitters, but Street just didn’t have it tonight.

All the bad hits were on bad pitches left right in the middle of the plate.

I like Cindi. A. She never pretends to know more than she does. B. She has unbridled enthusiasm for her "Hotties," and isn't afraid to show it. -IM4Oakgal
