Open Game Thread - Game 103: A's vs. Rangers

PrintTexas Rangers at Oakland Athletics, Jul 26, 2008 1:05 PM PDT
Grrrrrrrrreat -- after last night's 
, the A's hitters (who broke out for one whole inning against Padilla) get to face ... a rookie left-hander whom none of the A's have seen before. A rookie left-hander who doesn't throw very hard and has a plus changeup. Grrrrrrrrreat. So if you hitters could go on ahead and come in on Saturday, that'd be grrrrrrrrreat. Mmmkay? 
Interesting lineup Geren rolls out today vs. Matt Harrison: I don't disagree at all with sitting Cust ... or even with DH'ing Emil. Starting Gonzalez instead of Sweeney (or, rather, starting Rajai instead of letting both Sweeney and Gonzalez play) seems a mite odd, seeing as how well Sweeney has been swinging the bat overall, and how poor Gonzalez has looked against offspeed stuff from lefties, but ... whatev.
Fortunately, we've got Duke -- he of the 1.78 ERA and 0.89 WHIP -- starting. Expect the Rangers to be swinging, and swinging hard -- Duke, as we know, is always right around the plate, and basically does not walk any of the current Rangers hitters for his career. Watch out for Michael Young (who is a preposterous 10/19 off Duke lifetime, albeit mostly singles) and, of course, the "Risk Twins" (Bradley and Hamilton).
And, of course, since today's game starts at a normal time ... what would be more normal under the Selig Regime than for the game to not be televised? I'll reconstruct the events for the postgame recap from the teletype machine. FU, Bud.

You could watch the Cubs
continue to waste great performances by Harden. Another 10 K effort and they lost the lead. Len and Bob were going on and on about how Harden has had 10 K’s in each of his three Cubs starts, and only had 2 in his career with Oakland. I wonder why? Maybe because pitching in the NL is easy? Look at Sabathia. I don’t even think he’s broken a sweat throwing 3 straight complete games.

there should be a rule in MLB

Gonzalez, De Los Santos, Anderson, Cahill, Simmons...the best rotation in baseball....in, uh 2010.
We'd have to forfeit.

Their rotation seems really iffy

Laffey
Carmona?
Sowers?
Westbrook?
Huff?
Miller?
Scott Lewis?
Byrd is FA after this year
Lofgren doesn’t seem ready
Reyes could be a rotation stalwart very quickly. Also if the best offer for him was Perdomo, he probably doesn’t have much trade value.

This offense is so bad
I’m almost glad it’s not on TV locally…it’s nevers as bad if the suck is just described to you, rather than having to watch. In fact, without Sweeney in there, we just might have the worst offense in the game (although the RS column might say we’re only the third worst)

The A’s have been benching fools liberally this season. Only Frank and MaEl are impervious.

We've had our one inning of offense.

I do have to say ...
... CacaBoCro does have excellent range to his left, and makes the throw while moving to his left very well. (He also tends to overestimate those skills, though, and often makes inadvisable throws in that situation.)

I feel good about this game
We’re only down by one. Our pitcher seems like he’s getting it together while theirs is wearing down. One of their better hitters is already out of the game. And we’ve actually got a couple of plausible pinch hitters on the bench for a change.

Harden pitched another gemtoday , 10Ks in 5IP
I have a sneaking suspicion that Harden will remain healthy this year. Too bad Beane didn’t have faith, and sold him short. The Harden trade really sealed the season.
I think what sealed the season was using the DL even more than they did during 2007
That sort of, y’know, killed any chances whatsoever.

They've had injuries issues since 2006, but they won that year because of depth
The last two years, they didn’t have depth and it showed. Something has do be done about the injurie issues. Otherwise it will happen next year, and year after year
I can agree with the idea that they need to address injury concerns
But they haven’t had anything close to the injury issues they’ve had these last 2 years. I mean, they tied the record for uses of the DL last year, and they’re going to break that record this year.

Yeah! Bradley's temper usually doesn't show up til mid season in his second year with the team.
And this year he’s already had a share of problems; trying to murder the Royals TV announcer for one, and refusing to play the outfield the entire year (or at least the begining of the year).
