Open Thread: Game 72 - A's vs. Rockies (cont)

PrintSloppy defense? Check.
Bad offense? Check.
Breaks not going our way? Check.
Typical A's game so far? Check.
Dallas Braden fails to avoid the big inning this time. Halfway through and the A's are in big danger of losing their first home game to the Rockies in over a decade, down 4-0.

The AL is beating the NL in IL Play in spite of
our team which will be 5-11 and Cleveland which is 5-10
They even said on MLB Tonight that going from the AL to the NL is like going to AAA. And that was Barry Larkin and Sean Casey etc. They should know what they are talking about
And Geren adheres way too rigidly to the 100 pitch thing.
…not that it matters in this particular game.

If the Guantanamo inmates were forced to watch the A’s, the human rights crowd really would have a valid torture claim.
To be fair
We are still way better than the nationals
Although I’d definitely rather watch that product. At least for them losing = hunter bryce

Cust hits homers and walks a fair amount. That stuff is useful. Neifi Perez was a much worse player.

if you recall last year
same thing happened before injury v after.

Slightly rhetorical.
Now, why haven’t the A’s fired the coaching staff yet? (This is rhetorical.)

I think the A's have been putting out so many fires over the past few years-
due to injuries, I don’t even know how they would have had time. It felt like 08 most of the pen was on the DL every couple months.
Dont blow Bailey.
Hmmmm...
I wonder if the guys will talk to Huston and ask him “how did you guys get rid of your manager?”
These ain't your father's A's.

You would think that the genius Geren could've pinch hit for Crosby with Powell in that last at bat?
not sure it would have mattered
Huston had the slider today

Righty vs. lefty matchup would've at least had a chance.
With Crosby up it was a foregone conclusion.

It doesn't sound
like “Citizen Kane” is exactly what cuppingmaster is going there for in the first place.

i think entertaining may be stretching it
i thought the filming was terrible – the camera moves too quickly for the robot action sequences, so its hard as hell to even know what’s going on in those scenes.

what did he say?

He rated his performance tonight
“poor to very poor” (which it wasn’t), said that his lack of run support doesn’t bother him because he sees it as a personal challenge to go out there and dominate for 9 innings every time he’s handed the ball, and he never let’s an opposing pitcher’s performance dictate what he does or thinks.
Nico: Okay. We have twelve hours to make a really big pickle.
he's a competitor
reminds me a bit of hudson in his persona. but a lot weirder.
