Around SBN: Steve McNair Found Shot to Death

Open Thread: Game 90 - A's vs. Mariners

Poochini-butt_in_box_2_tiny by Nico on Comment 291 comments

So the Rich Harden era ends, the Chad Gaudin era ends, the Matt Murton era will have to wait until tomorrow (he's not here yet), while the Sean Gallagher era begins Friday against the Angels. A little sad over the losses of Harden and Gaudin? That's why tonight we present...

...THE DUKE!!! Still very much here and leading the league in ERA at 1.96, Justin Duchscherer takes the mound opposed by A's-but-nobody-else-anymore killer Carlos Silva (4-10, 5.85 ERA). Since the start of the 2006 season, Silva has pitched 487 innings and allowed 614 hits. Which, by the way, sucks.

Regardless of whether the A's just got better, worse, or the same for the rest of the 2008 season, one reality remains: The A's are in a great position to sweep this four-game series. The Mariners are the league's lowest run-producing team and the A's have clear advantages in each of the pitching matchups: Duke vs. Silva tonight, Joe Blanton vs. Miguel Batista tomorrow, and Greg Smith vs. R. A. Dickey on Thursday. Let's see if the A's can hang in the race a little while longer...

The lineups, brought to you by the phrase "Enjoy it while you can, Emil":

Ichiro - RF
Bloomquist - SS
Ibañez - LF
Vidro - DH
Beltre - 3B
Reed - CF
Sexson - 1B
Clement - C
Cairo - 2B

R. Sweeney - RF
Ellis - 2B
Cust - DH
E. Brown - LF
Gonzalez - CF
Bankston - 1B
Suzuki - C
Hannahan - 3B
Murphy - SS

I hate when Murphy’s in the lineup. He just reeks of strikeout swinging.

Until he hits another fluky looking home run! Than it’s yeah! Murphy! yeah!

Murphy is the RH power bat

that’s been missing.

He’s our future Matt Holliday.

His initial insult makes no sense.

Does he think we don’t drink the Beane kool-aid here? Does he not know the website’s motto? The correct way to insult AN is call us dumb for agreeing with Beane, not disagreeing with him.

Almost like he’s a little bored with these paltry Mariner’s batters and could use a real challenge IF MLB could actually provide it. I hope he gets to throw a little in the ALG; just to see him face good hitter after good hitter—see if he’s still making it look routine.

You know, I think you guys are right

but looking at the replay, I think Kurt was figuring that if he makes the play - which he absolutely should - he gets an out. Why let it roll foul and trade an out for a strike?

I am saying Sexson was the only baserunner

Hitting the cut-off man is to keep a second runner from taking a base. A throw over the cut off man directly to the 3rd basemen still keeps Sexson at 2nd base.

I think if pitchers were forced to throw him pitches in the strike zone

to have strikes called, he would walk more, strike out less and make more contact (leading to more HRs). I guess I am just saying that the vagaries of umpire’s strike zones hurt a player like Cust the most.

Desist

“implies forbearance or restraint as a motive for stopping or ceasing” (per Merriam Webster).

I always assumed “desist” meant “don’t do it again, either”. “Cease” alone clearly wouldn’t be enough, because you could cease and then start up again. “Desist” alone is maybe enough, but I doesn’t have the same sense of immediacy as “cease” does.

(None of this is really intended to disagree with your characterization of “legal redundancy bs” ... just exploring the idea.)
