Open Thread: Game 115 - A's at Minnesota (cont.)

Print1-0 Twins after 3 innings. Cahill doesn't look like he has his best sinker so far, but he has used the curve well. And the A's continue to be better at getting on than getting 'em over or in.

Yechhhshhhh
so far, not much noteworthy Athletics plays.
Blez: Most folks seem to believe that the big flaw with the 2010 Oakland A's will be the lack of any power.
Beane: They believe it because it's true.

If we fold them up just right the strike zone will be tiny. Then we pinch run.

So less back patting, but still quite amusing.

Does it really make any difference who pitches against the A's?

Poor Guy 0-15
Just keep him out there and he will get his hits.
Gotta sit on the one fastball no matter the count and pound it.
Honestly everyone is making way too big of a deal about it
The guy deserves some rope and 0-15 doesn’t spell doom.

Dear Joe Mauer,
Instead of batting against the A’s and getting hits, you should spend the day with me. In front of the fire. Without pants. And distinctly NOT spending your time getting hits against the A’s.
