Open Thread: Game 99 (Oakland Athletics at Texas Rangers)

PrintOakland Athletics at Texas Rangers, Jul 27, 2010 5:05 PM PDT
This is about as big as it gets.
The A's have been riding a very fine hot streak, winning seven of their last eight series, and sixteen of their last twenty four games. Before this streak, the A's were eleven games back. Now we're tied for second, with the ability to take a serious bite out of the division-leading Rangers. Is there a better test of our new (relatively) healthy team?
Of course, it's not going to be easy, either. Colby Lewis and C.J. Wilson aren't exactly easy pitchers to face, and to top it all off, we've drawn new Rangers ace Cliff Lee (9-4, 2.56 ERA) tonight. Lee has walked 0.48 batters for every nine innings. Calling that "low" doesn't cut it. "Unheard of" would be a mere starting point. Gio Gonzalez (9-6, 3.75 ERA) is going to need his good stuff tonight. And good stuff he has.
First pitch is at 5:05. And in other news, Jack Cust is batting 5th. Because......?

Is anyone else watching E:60 tonight? They have the story about the British MMA fighter who was with a group that robbed an England bank. Fascinating story.

No...he's like the perfect pitcher to shut out the A's
And we badly need some wins.

They shouldn't be this good, but they are. It's very puzzling.
"You see, in this world there's two kinds of people, my friend: Those with loaded guns and those who dig. You dig."
CJ Wilson is essentially their Duchscherer.
And Colby Lewis was unbelievably awesome in Japan. Like, better than Matsuzaka ever was.
I get the feeling his story would make a better film than Moneyball.
Be crap, go to Japan, learn the mystical art of pitching in the mountains, return to the blazing heat of Texas and win a World Series.
I’ll call Hollywood.
"You see, in this world there's two kinds of people, my friend: Those with loaded guns and those who dig. You dig."
Oh no you didn't.
Tom Cruise rocks.
"You see, in this world there's two kinds of people, my friend: Those with loaded guns and those who dig. You dig."
And I'm thinking The Last Samurai meets Mr Baseball.
"You see, in this world there's two kinds of people, my friend: Those with loaded guns and those who dig. You dig."
I really don't get the Cruise hate.
He’s a fantastic actor. He’s a little eccentric perhaps, away from the silver screen, but I’m sure several high profile Hollywood types drink the blood of innocents – they just don’t publicize it.
"You see, in this world there's two kinds of people, my friend: Those with loaded guns and those who dig. You dig."
He's good in the right role and he chooses his films well.
Point Break, The Replacements, Constantine, The Matrix, Speed, Bill and Ted.
He’s not Edward Norton (who is? Well besides Gary Oldman), but he’s better than people give him credit for.
"You see, in this world there's two kinds of people, my friend: Those with loaded guns and those who dig. You dig."
That I know a good film when I see one? Correct.
"You see, in this world there's two kinds of people, my friend: Those with loaded guns and those who dig. You dig."
No, it's just...
When someone wonders why everybody thinks Joe Saunders is bad, you have to first ask their opinion of Cedrick Bowers.

Jack Cust batting 5th because - read your writeup -
“Lee has walked 0.48 batters for every nine innings.”
Does that mean we only look at batting average for everyone in this case? Who has a higher BA than Cust?

Against LHP Kouz's OPS is .772 and Cust's is .693
of course that’s based on a quite small sample size for Cust since they haven’t played him much against LHP in the first place. Once you’re labeled, you’re labeled.

Barton and Crisp have the right idea
Take as many pitches as possible against Lee. Get him out of the game and get into the Rangers bullpen.

Well yeah, if you just try and work the walk people like Saunders toast you.
On the flip side people like Davis “Oooh, it’s a fastball!…oh crap, slider. Oh well. I’ll swing next pitch and hope THAT’S a fastball” are too impatient.
