The A's and Danny Haren with a 1-3 and a 4.11 ERA take on the Rangers and Chan Ho Park with a 3-1 record and a 3.86 ERA.
The A's actually scored some runs during Chan Ho's last start. So perhaps this is a hopeful sign. Maybe it will give them a bit of confidence swinging the bats before they head out on their deadly road trip.
Here is the A's lineup:
Kendall
Ellis
Chavez
Durazo
Kielty
Hatteberg
Ginter
Byrnes
Thomas
Kendall leading off. I like this. I've been advocating for this for a while. Although I'd like Kotsay to be hitting second, but I guess the guy can't play every single day. Ginter sees the field for the first time in quite a while and CT returns.
The Rangers counter with this lineup:
Dellucci
Young
Teixeira
Blalock
Soriano
Nix
Hidalgo
Matthews
Alomar
Last time the A's saw Chan "Don't Call Me" Ho, Chavy hit a bomb that is likely still traveling. Let's hope that bodes well for today.
LET'S GO A'S!!!!!!!!!
