Open Game Thread: Game 115 - A's at Tigers
by notsellingjeans on Aug 8, 2008 3:30 PM PDT
Email
PrintThe A's attempt to snap their 10-game losing streak as they open a three-game weekend series in Comerica Park against the Tigers.
Twenty-four-year-old "Diamond" Dallas Braden takes on a man old enough to be his father - 43-year-old Kenny Rogers.
An all-lefty pitching matchup would appear on paper to favor the Tigers. Detroit can trot out an imposing almost-all-righty lineup, while the A's are a predominantly left-handed hitting team (and I use the word "hitting" very loosely).
The A's now have the worst team batting average and the worst team slugging percentage of all 30 MLB teams. Not surprisingly, they've scored the least runs of any AL team - 463. That's an average of 4.06 runs per game.
The A's are a league-worst 2-17 since the All-Star break, and now sit at 53-61. A quick look at the standings shows that the A's are now only nine wins ahead of the worst teams in baseball, record-wise.

As I get ready to watch the game,
I feel a bit like Charlie Brown having just been told, “I’ll hold the football and you come running up and kick it.”
I like Cindi. A. She never pretends to know more than she does. B. She has unbridled enthusiasm for her "Hotties," and isn't afraid to show it. -IM4Oakgal
Yeah, that Lucy Rogers is a bitch
They want to steal the land papers which is why they have tried to break in. But they had to give up after being bitten by Chhotu.

well until the A's training staff or Cust himself envests in some episom salt
to soak his infected thumb Brown will be be your guide on the Adventures in Left Fielding
solid lineup!
loosely speaking. Putting on my rosiest colored glasses.
Crosby’s been hot, Thomas is Thomas. Brown had a decent July, CarGon and Zuki have been hitting. Barton smoked a HR last night. Davis and Hannahan are two extra lead-off hitters at the bottom of the lineup, with Hannahan just had a good July.

being placed on waivers. At this point in the season can any solid prospects be had for his services?

If
they clear waivers they can be traded? So a guy like Street would most likely be claimed. What is the point to put him on waivers?

Because you can trade him to the team who claims him, or you can pull them back

Baisley
Didn’t see it in the DLD, but Jeff Baisley was sent on his rehab assignment yesterday (AZL). If he hadn’t been hurt (stress fracture in foot), he probably would have been up weeks ago (at the very least, I think he would have got the call instead of Conrad, and he could have been up much earlier than that.)
Assuming he’s healthy, wouldn’t be surprised if he’s the A’s 3B for the rest of the season starting in a week or two. It’s good he came back as soon as he did; he’ll have a real chance to show what he can do in an extended period of time.
eh, Billy proved that years ago.
