PrintOakland Athletics at Cleveland Indians, Jul 4, 2010 10:05 AM PDT
I know where you are. Like a good boy/girl, you're sitting in church listening to Reverand Blowhard drone on and on about something about sin, staring at the back of a long feathery cap that you think might still be alive and wanting the cracker you've hidden in your left pocket as if there weren't a "No eating" sign clearly posted outside the front door.
And you're reading this on your i-Phone, as three pious and humorless older women, who always seem to judge everything but their own choice of eyeshadow, make disapproving eye contact that you pretend not to notice.
You're frankly too excited about Trevor Cahill being named to the All-Star team as you root for Vin Mazzaro to best Fausto Carmona and to send the A's home owners of a 7-2 road trip.

Of course, Cahill won't be eligible to play if he remains on his normal pitching rotation
Awesome.

I dislike it highly, also.
I kinda wish the A’s could/would eschew sending anyone altogether. I know I generally avoid watching the “game”.

Good, why would we want him pitching in a meaningless game?

As long as we see him in the dugout I'm fine.

Davis goes from 'the man' to platooning with Gross. Ouch.
"You see, in this world there's two kinds of people, my friend: Those with loaded guns and those who dig. You dig."
He might try learning how to bunt properly
and getting on base more than 30% of the time.

I'm surprised Bailey didn't go. He's putting up good numbers again this year and he went last year.
For a team that only sends one guy a year to this thing I figured he’d be the one.
"You see, in this world there's two kinds of people, my friend: Those with loaded guns and those who dig. You dig."
Ha ha, Shoes was right. That face Crisp pulls when he's in the batter's box is awful.
Nice shades though.
"You see, in this world there's two kinds of people, my friend: Those with loaded guns and those who dig. You dig."
Gotta run on this guy
Today, If his sinker is working it’s DP, DP, DP and DP time.
Go A’s
Did Barton just bunt?
"You see, in this world there's two kinds of people, my friend: Those with loaded guns and those who dig. You dig."
sort of, unintentionally.
high hopper to 1st, i think. i was only half paying attention.
Yeah I'm watching Burn Notice too. I saw Crisp advanced to third and the right side of the infield field
the ball and I assumed the worst.
"You see, in this world there's two kinds of people, my friend: Those with loaded guns and those who dig. You dig."
Don't think so
He tried to get a hit thru the right side or at least it sounded that way. I have radio only
yah, he wasn't trying to bunt.
but he got crisp over to 3rd with the ball to the right side.
So Cust is already the second best hitter on the team. Why'd we keep this guy in the minors for two months again?
"You see, in this world there's two kinds of people, my friend: Those with loaded guns and those who dig. You dig."
So he could learn to raise his Batting Average
strike out less and lose his power for the time being and be more aggressive.
But I’m only guessing
The game is not televised on the East Coast, of course
But thanks to AN for keeping me up-to-date via all the great posts!! My fellow A’s fans are GREAT!!

carmona reminds me of a baby sabathia

Gabe Gross reminds me of someone that shouldn't be in the starting lineup.
I’m not sure what it is about him. Maybe it’s that he shouldn’t be in the starting lineup?
So Powell batting infront of Pennington is a little retarded.
Pennington could catch him even with a two base head start.
"You see, in this world there's two kinds of people, my friend: Those with loaded guns and those who dig. You dig."
Have you seen the size difference? No way Pennington could move Powell.

Erm - I think he does. Not this season mind, but he has the talent to be a good pitcher.
It’s all about whether he can improve his control enough to become a ML starter.
"You see, in this world there's two kinds of people, my friend: Those with loaded guns and those who dig. You dig."
Girardi is sleazy
According to Slusser, years ago Zito was picked, knowing he’d be pitching on Sunday, and then they quickly inserted Roger Clemens in his place. My guess: Cahill gets picked, can’t play, and his replacement is Andy Pettite.
Sue Slusser made a good point: If you’re picking at least one representative for each team, that rep should play. This would be two years in a row when a member of the A’s didn’t play. Subverts the system.
Unless Suzuki or Bailey gets picked.
Or at the least, if you pick someone from the team and he's your only rep and he can't play, you replace him with someone else from the same team

He almost always goes opposite field with his fly balls.

And pulls the ground balls to the right side. Hence the shift.

I agree with Jonathan.
The pattern over all has not been to bench Cust. The fact that a short stretch has been out of the pattern suggests to me that there’s something we don’t know about. Maybe an unannounced injury, maybe a private disciplinary action, maybe a distraction in his private life that made him more in need of time off.

Nah. We're a singles hitting team.
Lots of decent averages in the side, just almost no power. We hit into a lot of DPs because if there’s someone on he’s on first.
Oh and it’s also why we don’t score that many runs – you have to combine multiple hits to get a run if all you can do is hit singles.
"You see, in this world there's two kinds of people, my friend: Those with loaded guns and those who dig. You dig."
Hmmm....I don't see it.
It’s true A’s are 3rd in MLB in 1B, but they’re 19th in OBP. Also 8th in GDP.

Cos we don't walk a whole lot either.
"You see, in this world there's two kinds of people, my friend: Those with loaded guns and those who dig. You dig."
And we literally just hit singles.
Those teams above us in the OBP category are hitting for extra bases.
"You see, in this world there's two kinds of people, my friend: Those with loaded guns and those who dig. You dig."
Right...we make outs or hit singles. No BB or XBH.

It adds up to being a bad offence, but we're not an 'out' hitting team.
We just don’t hit for extra bases, which hamstrings us massively.
"You see, in this world there's two kinds of people, my friend: Those with loaded guns and those who dig. You dig."
Coco has a hamstring.

He just doesn’t have great control. As I said earlier though – he has some nice late movement on his pitches today. Shows promise for the future.

The interesting thing is that Mazzaro always had pretty excellent control in the minors.
I really think his main problem so far in the bigs has been lacking confidence, and he’s just starting to come around. His control in the majors WILL improve if he keeps starting. Not to mention, having good luck (as he has) should theoretically help him be more comfortable allowing balls in play and throwing strikes.

That's because he realizes he can not recognize a curve ball
He waits for it longer, still doesn’t recognize it, than just slaps if it turns out to be a fastball and misses by a foot if it is not. The league should not give him anything but the away curveball for weeks.
At least within 2 pitches he's usually right.
