At least I have to

Ellis

I know the guy is hitting like crap, but he is a vet and will still look at plenty of pitches. We need to put the guys who see a ton of pitches at the top of the lineup right now and tire out these SP who are killing us
1. Ellis – vet, sucks but will still take plenty of pitches
2. Cust – see a ton of pitches
3. Holliday – best hitter or at least I thought
4. Giambi – again see a ton of pitches
5. O Cab – could actually drive in some runs at this spot in the lineup.
6. Suzuki – solid
7. Sweeney – we need to take some pressure off this guy NOW – or he will turn horrible on us
8. Chavez – really is just horrible
9. Buck – play the guy geren you moron.

In 2009, Mark Ellis has seen an average of 3.30 pitches per at bat.

Orlando Cabrera = 3.44

Ryan Sweeney = 4.03

Ellis’s career numbers are higher than Cabrera’s, by about a third of a pitch more, and about even with Sweeney’s. If Ellis should be hitting higher than Cabrera or Sweeney, I think it has more to do with OBP and power than with pitches seen.

Interesting little stat about Holliday.

I don’t know if anybody’s posted this, but here are Holliday’s career platoon splits:

vs. LHP – .299/.385/..497
vs. RHP – .324/.384/.563

He’s actually been better against RHPs over his career—not drastic but after 2,700 plate appearances, it looks like it’s not really a fluke.

This team’s really not built to do that well against lefties—and we just faced several in a row. Hopefully when we face more righties, Giambi, Cust, Chavez, Sweeney will all play up to their abilities.

It actually is - I don't understand why, after a 14 inning game,

Because they lack the intelligence of the average AN poster?

Urban: Hold on. That cougar in the corner is TOTALLY checking me out. Should I send her a mimosa? Do I slip the wedding ring off and hope she doesn't see the tan line, or is she old enough to not care?

Sometimes, the decisions made by the A's are baffling

Namely their unwillingness to use the DL, opting instead to be short a man or two.

Dude,

We got something for him at least. Detroit’s the one that dumped him. He was at least three or four years away. And while it’s depressing to think what if we would’ve held onto him, we would’ve had the equivalent of Barton playing first for four seasons. He was pretty fricking horrible when he was with us and he was horrible for the two r three years he was in Detroit.
