How do you feel about HGH use in baseball?
baseballgirl note: Southern California A's/Angels April 7th game - FINAL DEADLINE this Monday! Let's imagine for a moment that every taxpayer in America received this letter in the mail from the IRS next week: Attention hard-working Americans, Due to staffing shortages, the Internal Revenue...
SS - Not Just Driving The A's Crazy
Nothing makes me appreciate Bobby Crosby any less than watching him swing at the same slider he’s been overswinging to try to hit since 2003 – the ball may as well be a football and the pitcher may as well be Lucy Van Pelt. At the same time, though, nothing makes me appreciate Crosby any more than...
Sometimes You're Gaudin, Sometimes You're Not So Gaudin
Poor Chad. He reverted to the walk-a-thon tendencies of last year and it burned him right off the top. And the A's offense was pretty easily kept in check by Minnesota tonight outside of the one inning in which Bobby Crosby, Shannon Stewart and Mark Kotsay all went the opposite way. Of course,...
Changing Approach
So I'm not usually one to give another team credit for an A's victory, but I think tonight it was clear that the Mariners didn't make the necessary adjustments to win this game. By that I mean, the umpire had a horrifically puny strike zone. Gaudin looked like he was going to be walking Mariners...
A Mistake by the Lake
The A's should've won this game. Ron Flores should not have pitched to Jason Michaels. Flores has gone into a deep funk on the road trip and has been smacked around and if you look at Flores' stats, he is much better against lefties than righties. Even still, he would've given up the lead to...
Redemption
Yes, tonight was all about redemption for so many A's, it was a sweet night to see. First and foremost, Colby Lewis, the guy who started his Major League career as a Ranger, wound up getting a measure of revenge on his former club by pitching out of a huge jam in the eighth inning and only giving...
What is it about Number 15?
Come here little boys and girls and let me tell you a story about a pitcher that once wore number 15 for the Oakland Athletics. He was a smallish pitcher from the South who had a wicked sinker. He also had several years with the Oakland A's where he would pitch beautifully, yet for some reason...
Open Thread: Game 6 - A's at Angels
Well, here we go. The A's seem to be rounding into mid-season form -- with debilitating/nagging injuries, that is. Kotsay, DJ, and Loaiza are all out (perhaps no great loss in terms of concrete individual contributions), and now Bradley (side muscle) and Crosby (back) are day-to-day (Larry Davis...
New Season, New Story (sort of)
The A's lost very few games last year because of an infielder's error and going into this year, you'd think that the A's infield defense will be even better with Bobby Crosby back and Nick Swisher back at first. All due respect to Marco Scutaro, but Crosby has better range and has a stronger arm. ...
Open Thread: Spring Training Game 5
The A's head into the game with the Angels today sitting at a record of 2-1-1. Course the tie doesn't really show up in the standings, so it's as though it never really happened. If a tie falls in the woods... I'm wondering why Joe Blanton hasn't seen the hill yet. The A's official site has Brad...
