Open Thread: Game 92 - A's vs. Mariners (cont)
by baseballgirl on Jul 10, 2008 2:06 PM PDT
Email
PrintWell, we have a pitchers' duel in this afternoon's game, as Smith has held the Mariners scoreless through six innings. The A's are coming to bat in the bottom of the sixth, trying to get on the board.
Oh, and in the awful news of the day, Sweeney, R was hurt on a head-first slide. It looks like more DL time for one of our best hitters.

The easy answer is nowhere but
If DFA was to be trade where could/would the A’s be looking to send him?
We are getting shut out by...
R.A. Dickey. I can just hear Fosse now: “You just have to tip your cap to the guy.”
What about Barry?
"Barry who?" Forst said, and I felt like I was in the middle of a knock-knock joke.
I'm tipping it now

Why’d they pull Smith? 89 pitches sounds like one more inning to me. Are they worried he is reaching his yearly max? (I don’t have TV or radio, fyi.)

IBB was the right move
Beltran is hitting about .500 vs the A’s, and if anyone could get a fly ball, it was Beltre (and probably, a HR with Casilla providing the power).
Vidro was a good DP candidate. He almost “pulled it off”. Just a little too far from LS.

Cust should be hitting 6th at best
But then we have no hitters that should be hitting 3rd, 4th or 5th

Do any of these guys start on any other team in the league? We must be the most die hard group of fans in the league. I’m about to stop blaming the individual players, and start blaming Beane for having such an ineptitude to find an actual offensive player.
What about Barry?

Devine for Embree. Foulke is already on the DL and Patterson for Hannahan. You can add Murton for Sweeney.

Those 3 plus Blanton

Embree and Foulke
are done. They’re past any redemption and could easily just go away. The other two…I’m not so sure of that. Hannahan, although he’s 28, hasn’t played even a full season yet. Granted, he will probably not even be more than a journeyman, but in fairness, that was supposed to be his role on this team—the Scutaro all-purpose infielder (with scrubbing bubbles!). Blanton…Joe may just need to come in to camp in better shape next year. He’s got skills, he’s not worthless.
