Open Thread: Game 126 - A's at Minnesota (cont)

PrintLet's get some new thread mojo! Braden pitching pretty well; he has only given up 2 runs. Of course, the A's offense has only managed to score one, but that could change. Right? Right?

someone should smack him.
What the hell kinda name is Boof? I mean, seriously.

If Barton has a productive AB, however,
Pennington’s ball is either an RBI groundout or more likely, an RBI single past a drawn in infield.

Ah, here it is:
Opposing hitters on teams that suck to historical levels are only batting .167 against him. Bonser is also noted to be an “August 20th pitcher”.

My friends at work
Told me I was being ridiculous when I saw the score was 3-1 and went “eh, well this is pretty much over.”
I mean I probably was being ridiculous, in all fairness. But the A’s offense sure does stink.
RagingHarden: Yeah if you get 20 starts out of me I'll be shocked. Like, I'll wreck my drawers.
Can we just release Brown and Thomas already?
I know that, as Beane said earlier, “we aren’t fielding an instructional team”. But I rather see an instructional league team than see these deadends continue to take at bats away from Johnny Whoever in Triple/Double A.

Well the offense did just about what i thought they would today. But Barden did a good
job as did the bullpen

It's almost annoying when the A's score because
it just keeps the garbage on the team longer.
Better to 100 percent fail and look bad doing it. It should bring better results in the long term.
We all want this team to be good. We are diehard A’s fans but right now, I an not opposed to seeing Hannahan and Crosby (As example) fail every single at bat they can
