Open Thread: Game 60 - A's vs. Tigers

Detroit Tigers @ Oakland Athletics


Wow! It seems like it has been a very long time since the A's won the first two games of a series and were in line for a sweep, but here we are!

After winning both of their previous games via the walk-off hit (yes, even the unorthodox infield single last night counts as a hit), this afternoon the A's turn to Justin Duchscherer in an attempt to steal the whole series, and remain 3 1/2 games behind the can't-lose Angels, who are playing some T-ball team from Seattle again today.

I say that with complete understanding of the frustration that Mariners' fans are feeling about their season to date, and I imagine it's the same for the fans of Detroit, who have had to watch maybe the best lineup in baseball struggle game after game after game through the first sixty.

I firmly believe that the only thing keeping the A's from a similar fate so far has been their unbelievable, amazing, out-of-this-world pitching, which has been covering for the offense most of this year, and battling even harder recently after the loss of Thomas and the Sweeneys. A symptom of deep offensive trouble (for both teams!): Last night's game in which twenty-two walks were issued and eleven innings were played, and the final score went into the books as a paltry 5-4.

However, there is something to be said for scoring just enough to win, and it's hard to argue with this week's results. It's also hard not to look on the bright side of the Cust/Ellis/Buck homers on Sunday, a Barton homer Monday, and a Chavez homer last night. If any of those power surges can be repeated on a semi-regular basis, things might get interesting in the AL West head-to-head match-up this weekend.

But the A's need to win again today, and they're going to have to beat yet another LHP, as streaky Nate Robertson faces off against Duchscherer.

I feel sorta weird about saying this but....

I feel more comfortable with Dutch starting than anyone else (even Harden). While (VERY) under the radar, he’s becoming sort of similar to Haren last year in my mind. He simply gets the job done. And just maybe Buck has turned the corner.

If Ellis and Chavez can get going by the time we get Frank back, we could be VERY dangerous down the stretch. But that’s thinking way ahead. Nate Robertson, like all the Tigers starters, has had a tough start to his season. But he’s more than capable.

And just a reminder, these guys did sweep us in the ALCS just two seasons ago.

So every chance we get against them we should be out for revenge!

Duke

Hey I said the same thing about Duke back when he was our absolutely killer shutdown reliever. Back then he was top tier relief for a couple years. I’m honestly not so certain about him being quite as killer as a starter, but even being a 2nd starter would be awesomeness.

The A's pitching isn't amazing, unbelievable, or out of this world

Nor is the hitting horrendous, atrocious, or Satanic.

It’s the ballpark. (And whatever league-wide effects have caused offense to faceplant—de-juiced baseballs?) Crosby’s .707 OPS (prior to last night’s game) ranked him a league-average hitter. Dana Eveland’s 3.82 ERA ranked him a league-average pitcher.

For whatever reasons, the Coliseum is playing like Petco this year. It is insanely difficult (by recent standards) to score runs there.

JD, I noticed you're a Blackhawks fan

for some odd reason, I am too. But I am fairly ignorant of the “farm system” and future players. Heck, I’m not even that familiar with the third and fourth lines.

Think they’ll finally make the playoffs next year? I was pretty pleased with how they finished and made a run at the end this year.

I did watch the Hawks in LA and Ana in person though. That was fun.

Hawks TV

Ever since the new owner took over last season his mandate was to increase the local tv of hawks games as they were not previously shown. you should get more access to games next season.

And if you can’t or are out of market, this site is good for watching online…

Yes, once Bill Wirtz died

And his son took over, everything changed. Home games on TV, bringing in John McDonough (who used to be with the Cubs as, basically, a marketing guy), bringing back Pat Foley for the upcoming season. A lot of peripheral stuff, but it’s going to make the experience as a fan a lot better.

Are you a Chicagoan?

Because there’s not many Hawks fans left here, much less elsewhere.

Anyway, my hockey knowledge is still growing since I’ve only really gotten into the sport over the last 3 years. But I really like what I see from the young players. Kane and Toews are probably going to end up 1-2 in ROY (did they hand out that award yet?). Patrick Sharp has emerged as a true front-line forward. And they still have the enigmatic Harden-esque Martin Havlat.

But even with Kane and Toews, I think the biggest bright spot on the team is Duncan Keith. He’s one of the best young defensemen in the league (and was an All-Star this year). Seabrook and Barker are promising, too.

A lot of people are down on Khabibulin, but I think it’s pretty unfair. He’s been solid. Overpaid, maybe, but he’s been good for the most part. If he were making less money and didn’t have a reputation, nobody would complain about him. But, on the bright side, Corey Crawford should be ready to take over soon.

The only reason they missed out on the playoffs this year was that Toews missed a month. I think barring more injuries they’re a lock for the postseason next year.

No I'm from Calgary

But Cam Barker played junior near here, for the medicine hat tigers. He will be extremely good.

Duncan Keith is already one of the top young dmen in the league, seabrook too. Not dion phaneuf good though, but not many are at his level (j/k : ) )

Toews would have won the ROY hands down if he didn’t get injured. I think Kane will win it, unless carey price from montreal edges him out. Toews is an unbelievable talent. He will be top 5 players in the league in no time. Sharp has played great, and dustin byuflin really emerged out of nowhere.

The young core of players they have, and the harden like havlat, they are going to have a great team there in no time. The fans who have a long history of supporting the hawks (but its been bleak the last several years) will start comming back. One playoff run and hockey will be huge again in chi town. They will have a product on the ice that is too good to ignore. It will be better than the belfour / roenick days.

I don’t watch many teams beyond the flames, but watching the hawks is something i will do because they are entertaining and very talented young core.

And yes, i would say its almost a lock they make the playoffs next year. with or without havlat being healthy

Eh

After last night’s game, and with another lefty on the mound, why not give him the day off?

Even healthy Chavez has barely been better than a replacement level bat against lefthanders anyway. So there’s not much point in DHing him.

I disagree

I think Rod Allen is in the bottom 5 or 6 among color commentators. He’s black Duane Kuiper.

However, Allen is part of one of my all-time favorite baseball youtube videos, so I guess he gets a pass.

Really that bad?

Does everyone really think $1+ mil is that much to pay for a 4th outfielder who can play either corner and even center in a dire emergency, provides a RH bat in a LH heavy line-up and has good contact ability and modest power.

Just because injuries and a hot April have caused Emil to be overused and thrust into a more prominent role I don’t think it means he has no value.

do you think Linden , a switch hitter—would have been worse then a .663 OPS. No way plus he was cheap! They let him walk for nothing.

Not exactly nothing

If they brought up Linden and let go of Brown they still would have been on the hook for Brown’s salary so Linden would have technicaly cost more than Emil. While I would have been interested to see Linden get a shot I’m not convinced he would be that much better against lefties than Brown.

I just think $1+ mil is about as cheap as you can get a guy after his first 6 years and that if Emil was strictly used against lefties he would be useful.

Ryan Sweeney should be back right at the end of the 15 days.

Any more reports on Thomas and M. Sweeney?

I think it would be great for Thomas to come back for the next homestand (after the trips to SF and Ariz.)

Sweeney:

According to the San Francisco Chronicle, an examination of Mike Sweeney’s injured left knee revealed damaged cartilage.
Sweeney already had cartilage damage in his right knee. He’s scheduled to receive a cortisone shot and is hoping to avoid surgery until the offseason, but remains several days away from resuming baseball activities while on the disabled list.

this offense needs a bat like yesterday. Someone who can hit for extra bases. I mean the pitchers that the A’s have faced this series have been horrible up until they have faced the A’s.
