Open Thread: Game 71 - Optimism Thread!!! - A's at St. Louis
by Nico on Jun 20, 2010 10:28 AM PDT
Email
PrintToday I challenge you to stick with happy thoughts, because no matter how bleak things feel right now it could be worse. At least we're not the Pittsburgh Pirates, now embroiled in a dumpling scandal because one of the "pierogi race" dumplings has been fired for criticizing the manager's and GM's contact extensions on his Facebook page. I can't make this stuff up, folks.
So I urge you to see the bright side of everything, just as I have to do because it's report writing time for me and I am knee-deep in euphemistic feedback like, "Caroline is learning to channel her energy into the tasks we are doing" (translation: while the rest of us are discussing the material, Caroline is kicking Veronica under the table and eating the material the rest of us are discussing), and "Bobby is generous about getting all his relievers involved in the 8th inning," which means "Who needs Breslow for more than one hitter? We have Bowers!"
Jamey Wright gave up 6 hits and 6 ER in 1.2 IP at AAA yesterday? Yay!!! He's consistent. I'm feeling it today, folks. Bob Geren's finger smells especially good this morning, and if the A's win their next 8 in a row while the Rangers and Angels forget to win for a week, Oakland will be in 1st place before the end of June!
No gloom and doom. Hope and love! Remember, what doesn't kill you makes you stronger so if June doesn't kill the A's they're almost guaranteed to hit a HR sometime in July! Most of all, enjoy the game because the only alternative is not to enjoy it. Go A's!

Porcello FIP: 4.78
Cahill FIP: 4.34
Shame Porcello’s defense didnt take his back like ours does for TC.
-Yeah, I just posted that, but my opinion is apparently "wrong" a significant portion of the time though, so take it as you will.
Porcello's a fly ball pitcher isn't he?
"You see, in this world there's two kinds of people, my friend: Those with loaded guns and those who dig. You dig."
As Cahill fans the side, including Holliday and Pujols
Have you not noticed that Cahill is getting steadily better, while Porcello isn’t?

"The guy was tasting himself too long to apologize."~Dallas Braden
by OptimistPrime on Jun 20, 2010 11:31 AM PDT up reply actions
oh yeah
My point lies in how strange team construction can make a pitcher. We have the most defense-heavy team in the league, and our SP’s are/were being made to look a little better than they are (and Im not mad at that!).
Also, Porcello could have very easily been in an A’s uniform, and he’d still be up in the bigs now thanks to our awesome team defense, because his ERA would be smaller than his FIP, not larger.
But Cahill just threw the most impressive inning of his career so far, so its sort of a moot point.
-Yeah, I just posted that, but my opinion is apparently "wrong" a significant portion of the time though, so take it as you will.
My take is that Cahill has developed
“swing and miss” pitches more and more (changeup, then curve), while Porcello pitches too much to contact.
I like Cindi. A. She never pretends to know more than she does. B. She has unbridled enthusiasm for her "Hotties," and isn't afraid to show it. -IM4Oakgal
Again, isn't Porcello a fly ball pitcher?
One that’s been told to ditch his awesome slider ‘cos the Tigers are worried about his elbow. Cahill’s a groundball pitcher.
"You see, in this world there's two kinds of people, my friend: Those with loaded guns and those who dig. You dig."
any OF with Davis + Swingles in it
is saving runs, flyball pitcher or not.
-Yeah, I just posted that, but my opinion is apparently "wrong" a significant portion of the time though, so take it as you will.
Woo! Happy!
Gotta run in ten minutes. But make sure they win, okay?

“I have been tossed from that place hundreds of times. Many times I even deserved it,” he said. “But this was ridiculous.”

Then they'll go 49-3 right after.

...being a role model I probably wouldn't recommend eating dirt. But at the same time, I'm not trying to be a role model. I'm just trying to eat some dirt.
Too close

Do you think Holliday was really trying when he was an Athletic?
Also: should we have traded CarGon for him?
Why haven’t we ever talked about these things on AN?
There is no "i" in Teamocil. At least not where you'd think.

I don't know.
I also think we should talk more about Milton Bradley and Andre Ethier. People seem to have forgotten that Ethier was once an A’s prospect.

After that, can somebody please discuss Bob Geren's failings as a manager?

While we're on undiscussed topics....

LOL @ Joe Saunders
Getting his arse handed to him with the help of his defense as well.
The same Joe Saunders that owns us
Saw this in today's paper
“Is anyone more hot/cold than the Angels’ Joe Saunders? He comes into a Sunday start at Wrigley Field with a 1.97 ERA in 53 career victories and a 9.41 ERA in 29 career losses.”

So he's good in his victories and bad in his losses?
Hold the front page!

He didn't.

That's an error, surely.

Nah. Tough play, usually will be scored a hit.
It wasn’t like he was camped under the ball and just missed it.
