IS the worst team in baseball we’re facing, right?

by Caseys Kiss of Death on Aug 27, 2008 7:36 PM PDT   0 recs

Yes; the A's hitters have it all.

Last in runs. Last in OBP. Last in SLG.

Ain't no stoppin' us now. We got the groove!

2 runs and 5 hits allowed to Oakland already?

Joe is either hurt, or pitching with his right hand.

Let’s give the guy some rest.

Now they take him out... It was obvious from inning one this wasn't going to work

Why oh why the late hook?

1 1/3 innings

say what you want, the late hook isn’t the problem…almost any manager in baseball might have taken longer than that.

by Caseys Kiss of Death on Aug 27, 2008 7:46 PM PDT to parent up   0 recs

He gave up 5 runs in that 1 out.

That’s a late hook if it’s that obvious. 50 pitches.

God, I hate the goddamn A's

a bunch of nobodies who can’t play for crap all gathered together to assemble one team that somehow beats us despite their “star” offensive player batting frickin’ .230.

What the hell is the matter with us? This is like playing an American Olympic baseball team. It should be 12-0 us. We should go 162-0 against these bums. They’re the most miserable team in baseball since mid-July. I can’t stand this crap when home field advantage is on the line.

by Caseys Kiss of Death on Aug 27, 2008 7:46 PM PDT   0 recs

Joe is hurt or just tired

It ain’t the A’s.

Texas would’ve still been in the 1st inning ,leading 12-0

What is the matter

is Joe is pitching with his throwing hand injured, and Mike throwing games by giving his big guns some time off.

Saunders didn't have ANYTHING

But Mike kept him in for quite a bit anyway.

he took him out after 1.1IP

That’s not exactly “quite a bit..”

Is there some reasoning? I saw a replay of him getting hit in the hand.

by shiftyeyedgoat on Aug 27, 2008 7:55 PM PDT to parent up   0 recs

I don't know... but he threw about 50 pitches

He already had a bunch of issues in the 1st, struggled very much throughout the second and gave up hit after hit.

It really was obvious something was wrong. So for me, it looked like a long time. 1 and a third is not long; but 50 pitches is more than half of what Lackey threw yesterday.

One and a third

isn’t that long.

Shoot he pulled him when he gave up the HR – it was a pretty normal hook, IMO.

I love that he walks....

if he can get his average up to .250 he would be a good #6 hitter.

I have an improper love for Mike Napoli.
