Open Thread: Game 70 - A's vs. Giants (cont)

The only rule about facing Tim Lincecum: Don't give up any runs. Mazzaro opened the game with two, 2-run innings, putting the A's in a 4-0 hole. Giambi has homered to get one run back, but the A's have six innings to score three more.

He is throwing too many strikes

and too many good pitches for this lineup to get much of anything

by Trainman on Jun 23, 2009 8:06 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

Which boils down to: he's a very good pitcher and this is a group of very bad hitters.

agree 100%

Lincecum is a tremendously good awesome pitcher. I mean, the guy won the CY Award last year while playing for a real bad team. Losing tonight, while painful to watch, would not exactly be a surprise. Last Sunday’s loss was much harder to take.

Just look at Manny – he turned into a monster in the NL. He was always one of the better hitters in the AL, but last year he was otherworldly for the Dodgers.

If you use career numbers as a baseline

than Holliday should get smoking hot at some point this season. Unfortunately it will probably happen after he is traded for another “prospect” that never pans out.

Take away the Coors factor

and add the AL factor and he will need to get very hot to be worth what he and Boras want.

Yeah, but with Nomar you know what you're going to get:

He’s going to swing early in the count, make contact, and probably hit the ball hard. (And with Lincecum-Hannahan, you’ll get a K.) So you take Nomar as he is and hope he finds a hole; he didn’t.

Disagree

You need someone a bit patient at that point and someone who can actually run. Nomar is neither. And Normar is too rusty to rely on.

Geren finally makes a smart managerial move in the eyes of AN, and the guy who gets put in f’s up.

so in essence it was a poor managerial move.

Nomar was supposed to be a bench player though

Expensive bench players = waste of money.

And trading for Holliday was definitely paying for “up and coming talent who has already proved something in the big leagues”

is a strike machine tomorrow instead of the walk and meatball machine we have seen so far.

Even though the majors are obviously much tougher, he has not converted his control in the minors to the majors to date. He seems to have very good games down there but when he comes up here, he gets behind and his stuff becomes very, very hittable.

Maybe he gets it together tomorrow night.
