Open Thread: Game 88 - A's @ White Sox

PrintOakland Athletics at Chicago White Sox, Jul 6, 2008 11:05 AM PDT
It's always a nice feeling knowing that however poorly the A's played yesterday, they still have unbeaten Rich Harden slated to take the hill in the series-deciding rubber game of the series today. In his career, Harden is 1-1 with a 3.71 ERA against the Pale Sox. However, if Rich is still suffering through his self-described "dead arm" period, then you can throw that nice feeling out the window, as it could be another long day full of high pitch counts and early bullpen activity - which surely hasn't been much of a recipe of success for the A's during the past week.
Normally, I would say that the whomever the Sox attempted to match-up with against Harden would be at a decided disadvantage; however, today's Chicago starter John Danks has been pitching fabulously well as of late. Over the past 3 weeks, Danks has consistently lowered his overall ERA in each subsequent outing, and now sits at a sparkling, ironically Harden-esque 2.50, buoyed by the best start of his career his last time out - an 8-inning, 8-strikeout, 1 walk, 1 run masterpiece against the Indians. Danks has also been a better pitcher during day games than night ones (2.31 ERA day, 2.88 ERA night) and a better pitcher versus righties (.225 BAA) than against lefties (.272 BAA). While possessing pretty good overall control, Danks is sometimes afflicted by that young lefty wildness so prominently displayed by Greg Smith last night. Since John hasn't been giving up a lot of hits lately, let's hope the A's can possibly goad him into one of those wild outings, since it might be their best (only) shot at scoring some runs today, especially with another patch-work lineup at work for the Green and Gold.
Speaking of...one look at today's lineup card makes me shudder. Injuries are a terrible, terrible thing ladies and gentlemen.
Today's game, while blacked out completely on MLB Extra Innings channels, will still be shown nationally on TV via the Windy City's ubiquitous WGN network. Go A's!

What's more, their Game Mix channel has it on as one of their eight games...
...but if you try to select it, of course it blacks out again. If I want to squint and listen to their announcers, I can “see” it that way.
Blackout restrictions are a joke. WGN is a national channel, not like the regional Comcast/Fox Sports Net ones.

Looked to me like Barton
landed on the bag, then went to tag the runner. IF he landed on the bag, whether he tagged the runner before he hit the base is irrelevant, because he certainly landed before the runner hit the bag.

Yeah
watching the replay, they focused on the wrong part of that. He beat the tag, but while the tag was being made, Barton had already had his foot on the bag.

Barton should have put his body in the baseline
to make the tag. Then Quentin would have had to be out.

Not a good start. I thought Barton got his foot down.
Harden does not look good anyway. Wild and velocity down again.
Hopefully he has 3 innings of 3 pitches each (LOL)
His velocity is alright today
A few pitches at 93. He’s really not ever consistently above 95 anyway.

harden will settle down, average out that pitch count
and we have a pretty good pen. One run on that mess is fine by me.
And 2 times on the replay barton came down on the bag, but the ump was looking for the tag he was going for and missed the foot. crappy momentum swing.
by TheGreenGoldCrush on Jul 6, 2008 11:30 AM PDT reply actions
Why tag...
if you landed on the bag. And if you sure you missed it would have been much easier to just tab the bag again. Ok it was a routine grounbaal which Petit messed up… but as a first baseman you are there to correct these small errors.
Since I couldn't see it, I wonder if he wasn't sure where he was in relation to the bag...
...if he had to go up for the throw and come back down again.

The A's are playing terribly
How do you watch a guy flail at three straight changeups and throw an 0-2 fastball over the plate? I don’t care if it was above the strike zone, you make him take a changeup at the ankles before you throw anything else.

Well

They need to take Harden out and save him for the Angels
It is pointless he keep pitching because this lineup cannot buy a hit
runner on second, no outs.
What are the odds we get a run in?
Mmmmm....words! (burp!)
