Around SBN: Four TCU Football Players Among 17 Arrested In Drug Ring

Open Thread: Game 133 (Los Angeles Angels at Oakland Athletics)

Los Angeles Angels at Oakland Athletics, Sep 3, 2010 7:05 PM PDT


Frankly, that was an embarrassing four-game sweep in New York. So what did the doctor prescribe? Plenty of rest at home, fluids, and a 50mg tablet of bad opposing pitching.

Well, we're in luck.

Scott Kazmir (8-12, 6.34 ERA) has legitimately been one of the worst starters in baseball, with high walk numbers, a terribly low amount of strikeouts, and a strong attachment to long balls. Last time when he faced the A's, he threw five innings with thirteen (yes, thirteen) earned runs given up, back on July 10th. Let's hope for a similar number tonight. Opposing Kazmir is burgeoning ace Gio Gonzalez (12-8, 3.23 ERA), who has really cut down on the walks since he came into the league, with a BB/9 of 3.88 (last year was 5.11, and he had an abysmal 6.62 in 2008).

But on the offensive side of things...yeesh. Pennington and Larish aren't in the lineup, Cust is puzzlingly batting in the 6 spot, and Carson is in RF.

First pitch is at 7:05.

Hermida shouldn't spend any time in Triple-A.

Start him in the outfield already.

I asked this question over there - but will ask again,

CAN HE be on the 40 man if not here for Sept call-ups?

Yes.

The September callups aren’t a mandatory “all on the 40-man MUST come up” kind of thing. Just an option.

by danmerqury on Sep 3, 2010 6:35 PM PDT up reply actions  

I guess i was wondering more if they are NOT on the list can they be added?

So I guess that’s a yes. BUT I also thought there was some rule about when they need to be added in order to go to the playoffs.

"Are those new tarps? Or did they paint 'em?" Mark Ellis

by Berry Jo on Sep 3, 2010 6:44 PM PDT up reply actions  

That's what I was thinking

So this is a case where he could play but not go to the playoffs if we end up there…..by some miracle

"Are those new tarps? Or did they paint 'em?" Mark Ellis

Yes.

He wouldn’t be eligible for the playoffs (and neither would Ross Wolf or Justin James).

by danmerqury on Sep 3, 2010 6:49 PM PDT up reply actions  

Unless people get hurt, which is, of course, entirely possible

Though I’m not sure Hermida would be eligible since he came from outside the organization.

Seriously.

He’s now our highest upside outfielder (possibly higher than Carter, even?). Small chance of ever reaching that, but still, we should give him every opportunity.

by danmerqury on Sep 3, 2010 6:35 PM PDT up reply actions  

Why?

Not many people have the upside of Hermida.

by danmerqury on Sep 3, 2010 6:46 PM PDT up reply actions  

That's true.

But even Carter’s best case scenario isn’t .300/.370/.500. And Taylor…? Who knows?

by danmerqury on Sep 3, 2010 6:48 PM PDT up reply actions  

For Carter, a best case upside would be more like .270/.350/.500.

Still plenty valuable. But Carter’s never gonna be a guy who will bat .300.

by danmerqury on Sep 3, 2010 6:51 PM PDT up reply actions  

I don't think that's Carter's "best case" upside

Because I think his best case upside has a SLG that’s higher than that.

www.zekeishungry.com

by thejd44 on Sep 3, 2010 6:58 PM PDT up reply actions  

You may be right.

Just roughly eyeballing it. And any slugging percentage that’s .500+ makes me confused, as an A’s fan.

by danmerqury on Sep 3, 2010 6:59 PM PDT up reply actions  

Well, highest upside doesn't mean most valuable.

I’d take Carter over Hermida every day of the week, of course. Carter has a much higher chance of reaching his upside. Hermida is more like a 5% shot, which is why he was just a waiver pickup.

Temple defeated Villanova in college football, 31-24.

Temple (-4.5) seemed like it had no chance to cover the spread as Temple was leading by a 25-24 score with Villanova about to receive the kickoff. Conveniently, Temple scored as time expired to cover the spread on a fumble return.

So it doesn't matter that Rajai took the first pitch and swung at a strike on the second?

It wasn’t a great at bat or anything, but I’m not really sure what he should’ve done. He was going to be 0-2 there unless he swung at the first pitch (which he shouldn’t with as wild as Kazmir was).

Game day has it solidly on the corner.

I suppose it might have been called a ball because of how wild Kazmir was.

I think, really, letting him swing at the fastball down the middle would’ve not been a terrible idea. It sucks if he makes an out, but I don’t think there was any doubt that’s what was coming.

I don't know if I've seen an A's/Angels game where Scoscia didn't come out to complain about something

I’m sure he doesn’t every single game, but he’s constantly on the field.

Don't mess with Kazmir's no hitter.

Samuel Taylor Coleridge on Brett Anderson's Fastball: "At first it seemed a little speck, / And then it seemed a mist: / It moved and moved, and took at last / A certain shape, I wist. / A speck, a mist, a shape, I wist! / And still it neared and neared: / As if it dodged a water-sprite, / It plunged and tacked and veered."

Kazmir - 16 strikes, 21 balls.

He was confused by a hanging slider

Swinging strike, which is a big surprise.

Fosse said it looked like he saw slider. He definitely swung the bat exactly where a slider would be.

Just saying,

it’s very rare for someone like him to gain enough control to be successful in the majors. We got lucky. Of course, I’d take Henry over Simmons any day now, but we didn’t know that before.

Seriously.

It was really kind of funny to see him and Jeter playing the same position at the same time. Jeter would do all of these lazy slow jump throws. Pennington would just plant, and unleash.

How does a radio station forget how to transmit

for a whole hour? (Probably the same way an entire team can’t get more than one hit in 11 innings.)
