Open Thread: Game 84 - A's at Angels (cont)

Baseball_tiny by baseballgirl on Comment 343 comments

Well, it's not a very clean game being played by either defense, but despite it all, the A's/Angels are locked in another of their close ones as we head to the fifth. Angels 2, A's 1.

Wes Bankston

I took a quick look at his stats.

He seems to be a pretty low OBP guy, some power, below average defense, supposedly. Does anyone know anything about him?

by VORP is too nerdy on Jul 2, 2008 1:58 PM PDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

The Rays org used to be pretty high on him, and he has slipped every year since

Moved around different positions, eventually landed at 1st base where he’s still a subpar defender, and he doesn’t hit for enough power to justify a corner spot. But he does have good raw power that has yet to show up in games, apparently.

Message to the pitchers.

I’ve read a few comments about how we were mailing in the game today with this line-up. I just wonder what the pitchers think of something like this? It must be frustrating mentally to know if you do anything less than a shut out you are probably going to lose. I think sending out that AAA lineup today sends a really bad sign to the pitching staff. Especially with young guys we have that may be a little shaky confidence wise.

What about Barry?

I totally agree

Not going out and trying to improve the offense sends a ver strong message to the Pitchers. The message to our young pitchers is that the organization is not really concerned about you. We care more about Daric Barton’s development than yours.

Hudler commenting on why the A's were picked to finish last in the divison by many.

He’s suggesting it’s because the A’s are a young team full of uncertainty, which is true.

But I chalk it up to idiotic sportswriters overrating the Seattle Mariners. All the projections suggested the A’s were going to be somewhat competitive in the division.

by VORP is too nerdy on Jul 2, 2008 2:08 PM PDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Definitely

The Mariners’ 2007 season was a smokescreen for a profoundly crappy team. Add more crap like Carlos Silva? Not a recipe for success unless you’re a commentator on the East Coast who knows nothing about baseball out West.

WOW!

For once the Angles do what we do with a guy on second!

What about Barry?

As we learned last night...

... Kotchman has been smoking lefties lately.

Cortroneo made a GREAT POINT

Mother Foulker has made one appearance in the last 12 days and he relies on command.

Please don't be wild Foulke.

As stated before... Cortroneo actually made a great point before Foulke came in

But interestingly enough...

The bullpen collapse has nothing to do with our so-called anemic lineup.

Foulke and Embree need to go

what can we get for two over-the-hill but still productive, former closers?

Game over.

That’s 2 in a row, Geren. Thanks.
