Open Thread: Game 61 - A's at Giants

Oakland Athletics at San Francisco Giants, Jun 13, 2009 7:05 PM PDT
Congratulations, Josh Outman: You get to face Randy Johnson, not just as the opposing pitcher but also as an opposing hitter. The A's try to even up the first "Bay Bridge Series" tonight, after their offense didn't make it through the FastTrak lane yesterday.
Oakland enters play today batting a collective .238, a full .010 points lower than anyone else (right now "anyone else" happens to be the Kansas City Royals), and a full .030 points behind league leaders Toronto and (this hurts to say "out loud") the Angels. And the A's hitters haven't exactly been...robust...against LHP but hey, Johnson has a 5.14 ERA and anything can happen.
Today's "fun fact": The opposition is batting just .208 against Josh Outman so far this season with lefties batting only .125 (7/56). Hopefully, Winn, Burriss, and Sandoval will forget to bat right-handed.
This would have been a great time to have Nomar in the lineup but tonight he is, once again, merely "pinch-hitter extraordinaire"...

You have nothing to worry about with Winn
He’s lost the ability to switch-hit this year, but he still tries. IIRC, his average from the right side this year is in the neighborhood of .100

In other MLB news
Harden returns from the DL and is handed a losing decision as Swarzak and the Twins blank the Cubs 2-0. Congrats Swarzak, now back to the minors you go.
AL West watch:
Dodgers @ Rangers, delayed (0-0)
Padres @ Angels, bottom 2nd (3-0 LAA)
Mariners @ Rockies, middle 3rd (1-0 COL)

Regarding those games:
- Haven’t the Rangers pitchers now put up a slew of consecutive zeros? (Millwood, Padilla, Feldman)
- 4 of the first 5 Angels in tonight’s lineup are batting over .300, and the 5th one is Vlad Guerrero.

One thing I ask tonight
No bunting from the pitcher unless there’s zero outs.
Outman is supposed to be able to handle the bat, then let him swing. This lineup needs all the swinging they can get. Wasting at out when there’s an out in the inning is plain fucking stupid.
by Trainman on Jun 13, 2009 6:41 PM PDT reply actions 0 recs
A couple rebuttals:
1. Johnson’s not easy for most lefty hitters and Outman hasn’t exactly faced a lot of live pitching lately.
2. “Swing and a pulled rib cage muscle!” These are the A’s, you know.

So he’s probably got much more seasoning in hitting.

Exactly
His best = just shy of the warning track.
It sure looked good off the bat, but I think he’s had to make so many adjustments to his swing just to be able to make contact that his HR power is minimal at this point.

Does AN hate Bengie because he’s fat? Which he is. Or because he used to be an Angel. Which he did. But, man, he is a terrific ball player who has gotten a lot of clutch hits for the Giants in the past couple of years and does a very nice job behind the plate. So why the hate?
You want to hate? Explain why down by 2 runs in the first inning against a guy with an ERA of 5+ it seems all but certain the game is already over.

I hate him because he used to be an Angel and because he's currently a Giant.
I do not like the Angels and I like the Giants even less.
The hate stems from the fact that he just hit a 2 run bomb against my team.
