Hey there guys. Still in Baltimore, man this city is beautiful. So, I'll just post the entire box score and allow you, the view, to make judgement.

SAC

I wish we could just remember last nights game for Stockton's performance rather than having to show this disgusting line. We were spanked and now the series in the PCL is tied. <<<<<WARNING>>>>>> Do not view until after thirty minutes of your last meal, on the off chance you throw up.

Knoedler C	3	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	.208

A few nice things...

Good to see Denorfia and Gonzalez continue to hit. Other than that...I don't know. Lets hope our boys can turn things around for game three.

STO

The offense staked Godfrey to an earyly lead. Our hitters are having themselves a nice playoff series. Next stop--playoff finals!!

Final	1	2	3	4	5	6	7	8	9	R	H	E
Stockton	4	3	0	0	0	1	0	0	1	9	11	2
San Jose	1	2	0	0	0	0	0	1	0	4	8	1

Spencer 1B	5	1	1	0	0	0	1	0	0	.343
Donaldson C	3	1	2	1	0	0	2	2	1	.433

Valdez, A DH	4	1	1	0	0	0	1	0	2	.200

Player	IP	H	R	ER	BB	SO	HR	ERA
Godfrey (W, 2-0)	7.0	6	3	0	1	5	0	1.38
Currin	1.0	1	1	1	1	0	0	7.71
Demel	1.0	1	0	0	0	0	0	0.00

Another nice start from Godfrey. I like what I am seeing from this guy. Demel continues to just sit people down. Good to see Carter take some walks. When you are given 8 walks, you have to put runs on the board.

Allright---so what are some predictions for the Fall League? Who is going to have the breakout? Is it going to be a pitcher or a hitter? I hope to see Donaldson establish himself as a premier hitter in the eyes scouts. Just my hope.

Take care and go A's!

Signing off from Baltimore--Daniel

I hope to see Donaldson become a top defensive 3B as well as a premier hitter.

Too much?

Baltimore...

I hope you’re packing heat.
I had 6 friends go to JHU for undergrad. 5 got mugged. 2 at gunpoint.

Camden is one of my favorite parks though…

Yeah, I found the "Baltimore is beautiful" thing funny

Since it has the highest murder rate in the entire country.

As Oakland A's Fans...

We should probably not bring up murder rates.

I sense some urgency in the farm system

Last year it seemed to me that a lot of guys were being sent to Winter Ball because they had been injured and needed more innings. This year it seems that all the fall and winter leagues are being packed with A’s prospects for development purposes. Even Simmons is going to Instructs.
Maybe I’m imagining it, but to me it looks like BB has given the word to get these guys ready NOW, or at least soon.

Anderson & Lansford

It’s incredible to think that both of these kids are showcasing their talents for Sacramento. Does anyone have a long term prognosis on Lansford? Kid went to Hawaii last year, and his GB% skyrocketed. Is he a Starter next year in Midland or a Reliever in Sacto?

by Colorado Fan on Sep 11, 2008 11:55 AM PDT up reply actions 0 recs

Hopefully he'll remain a starter as long as possible.

by mikev on Sep 11, 2008 1:21 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs

Remain?

Lansford or Anderson? It’s pretty obvious that Anderson is and will remain a starter. Lansford has been a reliever the entire season.

by Colorado Fan on Sep 11, 2008 2:11 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs

Lansford is a reliever

He was never even semi-decent as a starter, whereas he’s been very strong as a reliever this year.

I do not see it as urgency; it is conducting business as usual.

Winter and fall leagues are for continuing the development of your better minor league
players. Not much is done for the more marginal players except the instructional portion in the fall which is also for development. Billy obviously wants the development process to continue…
