Open Game Thread - Game 63: A's vs. Angels (cont.)
by monkeyball on Jun 8, 2008 2:35 PM PDT
522 comments
A's trail 3-2 going to the bottom of the 6th. Harden started strong, then got a little shaky with his control after walking Anderson and surrendering a preposterous HR to Vlad. A's got one back on an RBI single by Patrol Craft.

2009 is very positive thinking
Im think more like 2010 at the very earliest. There are a ton of non pitchers in the A’s system that need to prove they belong on the MLB level. By 2010-2011 I think you will have a better idea of what kind of players you have in Suzuki, Gonzales, Barton, just to name a few.
by asfaninpismobeach on Jun 8, 2008 3:09 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs
we'll probably
be better in 09 than in 08…so given that I’m thinking that a division is reasonable. Not that it isn’t this year…but clearly we see where the guys come up short vs Anaheim

What makes you think that
the A’s will be better in 09? Im not sold on that theory, you wont have Sweeney or Frank Thomas. Plus it next year you probably wont have a guy like Emil brown that carries your team for the first 6 weeks.
by asfaninpismobeach on Jun 8, 2008 3:17 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs
No,
instead of Emil it will be Patrol Craft. And who’s to say the A’s won’t have a guy like Sweeney? What if Jack Cust gets off to a hot start? There’s plenty to think that the A’s will be better…..Suzuki will have another year under his belt, as will Ryan Sweeney…..usually young teams with potential get better year to year…have you not been an A’s fan more than two years?

Common sense
would say that Barton would be better then he is right now. Unfortunatly at the MLB level you have to prove that you belong. Your telling me that this time next year that you expect the A’s to be better then 4 games over .500? You guys dont expect alot do you?
by asfaninpismobeach on Jun 8, 2008 3:27 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs
No, common sense would not say that.
Barton’s in his first full season in the majors and most people at that level are going to struggle. I expect him to get through it because he’s hit too well at every level he’s played in to keep going like this. He has to adjust.
Maybe you should stick to talking about beer and chicks. That seems to be more your area of expertise.

Also, its not like his back-up is some has been. Bowen is also a young catcher, why doesn’t he get a chance. His numbers are similar to Suzuki.

Which means Poppy was close – I was in 216 with a couple friends.
She’s annoying that’s for sure, but I’ll give her on thing – she’s consistent as hell. Every. Single. At-Bat. Every. Single. Pitch.
She loves her some BoCro.
