PrintOakland Athletics at New York Yankees, Sep 2, 2010 10:05 AM PDT
Dallas Braden will try to get the A's back on track this morning; no easy task going up against the Yankees' CC Sabathia. As we know all too well, the A's have dropped the first three games of the series to the Yankees and they will try to salvage one before heading back home tonight.
Matt Carson and Jeff Larish will be playing today; Barton is taking the day off. Suzuki will be DHing, while Powell will be catching.
LET'S GO OAK-LAND!

I hate Bob Geren.

Carson?
Didn’t he barely do better than Carter?
And Suzuki DHing has to be a practical joke, no?
The lineup looks like a practical joke.

It's pretty terrible.
The funny thing about baseball is that people will believe what they want to believe. -Joe Posnanski 8/29/09
well, at least we know how to improve it
based on a lot of posts I’ve seen this week, it’s by removing our best offensive player (Cust) from the lineup.
This is not little league. The kid who strikes out the most is not the worst player on the team.

What good is a .400 OBP when it remains on base at the end of an inning
Just thought I would point out that they all suck.
No point in singling 1 of them out
Two of our hitters are not like the others.

I think you misunderstand me
i’m the one defending cust. others are as well. he’s not the problem, it’s the others (as you correctly note).
It’s so ridiculous when people see him strike out and then conclude that, since the worst player on their little league team also struck out a lot, cust must be the worst player on the A’s.

Barton is batting .330/.484/.526 in his last 29 games and yet Bob chooses to sit him because we're facing Sabathia.
Bob doesn’t know Barton has an .861 OPS against LHP in 2010 or an .864 OPS against LHP for his career.

They're not in the race at this point after the way the Yankees are handling them
I had a problem with it when Geren sat Barton and Cust in Texas about a month ago. I don’t today. To go from that to “Well, why don’t we just forfeit?” is silly.

I went from that because you said it didn't matter any more.
If it doesn’t matter, then why even play?

They document it because sometimes it hints at future activity
And a 3.3 close feels like a 6.0 far away – and it’s nice to know which it actually was.
Makes sense. So the geologists should document it

Rajai is not so good at the hitting.

Runner on third, one out?
Nah, the A’s can’t score.

sadly this is pretty much how all of us think nowadays
No outs, I have hope of scratching out 1 run (I know, I’m a sucker)
1 out, expect nothing.

Two outs, go do something else for awhile.

This has
to be one of the most boring offensive lineups the A’s have produced in the last 30 years. So predictable and so… mundane.
There's no business like show business, but there are several businesses like accounting.
Boring is a compliment to this offensive group.

That lineup had more power threats.
Rickey Henderson LF
Dwayne Murphy CF
Joe Morgan 2B
Dave Kingman DH
Carney Lansford 3B
Bruce Bochte 1B
Mike Davis RF
Mike Heath C
Tony Phillips SS
Steve McCatty took the hard-luck 5-4 loss to the Jack Morris-led Tigers. And speaking of power threats, Murphy jacked a solo shot in the ninth to cut the lead to one run, but the A’s couldn’t tie the game.

more than 0 HOF players on that lineup
more interesting, big time.
I wish for one week, we could squeak out 5 runs a game...
We would be 7-0
How the hell does CC get out of that inning on seven pitches?
Runner on third, one out, and the whole thing ends up costing him zero runs and seven pitches?

How bad is it
The funny thing about baseball is that people will believe what they want to believe. -Joe Posnanski 8/29/09
The problem with the crapfence the A's threw out there...
1 run might be 10 too many…
Man, I forgot how dangerous it is leaving AN open while at work.
It’s so much more tempting to click Z instead of pouring over logs and code.
Phil Hughes is 16-6 and he's not even that good.

If the A's had the Yankee offense
We would be like 95-30 right now.
He was pretty good in the first half.
I think he’s tired.

With an ERA above 4? He gets 7+ runs of support per game, for christ’s sake.

Is Braden throwing less changeups today?
Gameday is calling it a slider.
If gameday shows a slider, it's almost definitely actually a slider, not some other pitch.
The slider is his only pitch that breaks to the right.
Ha!
That slow motion was awesome. Ball was halfway to 1B before Cano even started to move back to the bag.

I hope the pickoff sparks the A's
They need some runs. Braden came out to f’n play.
I'll take a 1 run loss
just don’t make it a 1-0 shutout.
