Harden has left the building after pitching like he may have been auditioning for Carousel Conductor. Scott Feldman is in as we head to the 4th with the A's leading 3-0
Gio, on the other hand, seems be having one of his "I am a bad mother" kind of days.
Sounds good to me... GO A's!!!!

He is a beast today
I never, never will understand how he goes form pitching like this to pitching like he does every 4 starts or so
No idea.
I had an idea that maybe it was a flaw in his stretch delivery, which saps his control. If so, he’d lose control as people got on base, which would obviously snowball rather quickly.
But there’s no way of testing that. Oh well.
Any word from sirbed yet?

so...matt watson?
honestly, i’d rather see buck called up. he seems to finally have some timing down at AAA. i mean, he’d have a 40% chance of injuring himself on his first AB back up, but still. watson is terrible.
Call up Carter, Taylor, and Buck.
Jettison Carson, Watson, and Gross.

They seem pretty close.
Rajai has a .335 ZiPS projected wOBA, Crisp .324
Crisp has been a lot better defensively by both UZR and plus/minus

they still need some seasoning – if nothing else, another month to get more confident. buck’s been here before. i’d keep gross up…he’s a good 4th OF. the issue is, he’s been starting a lot more often than he should. but for god’s sake, send watson/carson down. if buck’s got the rust off of him, get him some ABs

^^ chuckles ^^
That’s correct, I swear looking at it there’s an element of distasteful fling, a hurried uplift of the wrist to get rid of something that in no fucking way is a strong throw to first. But the throw makes it.
GREAT pitching approach to Vlad.
Curveballs down low, fastballs outside. Nothing close to the middle.

They're pretty good.
They’ve got very lucky with things breaking their way though.
"You see, in this world there's two kinds of people, my friend: Those with loaded guns and those who dig. You dig."
It actually makes for a better story.
All they need to do is resurrect that NFL Films guy for the end of season DVD video and get him to talk about how Vlad never got injured and Hamilton staved off injury and addiction……….and C.J. Wilson defied logic and so on and so on.

Some more Pitch F/X fun
Out of all pitchers who have thrown at least 100 curveballs this year, Gio has fifth biggest average vertical drop on it.
It makes me sad to see Duchscherer 7th on that list.
Also funny – Brad Ziegler is the only guy whose curveball rises.

I just found out I'll be back in CA at the end of Sept.
which means I have 2- games to chose from if I’m gong to be able to go to another game this year. damn schedule and ending the season on the road.
pennington has been a nice surprise this year
maybe all those accounts saying he was hurt most of his time in the minors were right. he’s been solid for us, esp. after his atrocious start.
You could tell that during last season. He has a good approach at the plate.
He just lacks pop.
