    Are you 70 years old?
  2. a700hitter
    And get me a case of beer.

    We need him to be our hammer, because we have nothing else going for us. It wasn't a bad start, but not a typical top of the rotastion guy -- just too many hits and too many balls in the air.

    This one would have been worth staying up to watch, but I turned in. Nice win. So so appearance by Porcello. HE looked more like a #3/4 tonight than a #2. The team got it done. Panda came through. Go get them tonight. Kimmi, keep the mojo going.

    The A's are a bad team. We shouldn't lose to these guys. Didn't Ogando used to be a starter. Maybe they should consider putting him in the rotation. It might be an improvement.

    If you are going to have a replay rule and cause game delays, they have to get it right. Otherwise, forget it?

    I thought that would be reversed. Is elbow part of the glove? Lol!

    Rookie base running mistake by Pali getting picked off second base, but it might get overturned.
  9. a700hitter
    Porcello's line thus far is 5 innings, 9 hits and 3 runs in 101 pitches. That is not the performance of a bona fide #2.
  10. a700hitter
    Porcello's leaving balls up and they are getting hammered.

    Craig went down to make room for Bradley. I looked it up. Luis Jimenez got sent down to make room for Victorino. I didn't realize that guy had been up.
  12. a700hitter
    Did they seriously send down Bradley after 2 games? I am asking, because I don't know.
  13. a700hitter
    Who got dropped to make room for Victorino?
  14. a700hitter
    I think Vic went hitless in his rehab. What was the corresponding move to calling him up?
  15. a700hitter
    The one thing I would like about the time difference on the west coast would watching every game and not being sleep deprived.
  16. a700hitter
    GGG is an exciting fighter. He hits like a mule-- just breaks guys up.
  17. a700hitter
    He put a lot of innings on his arm starting at a very early age. He suffered some injuries and looked like he was done, but he has had a rebirth. He is still pretty young. They would have to give him a thorough medical exam to determine the condition of his arm.

    I have heard that it is almost a certainty that the A's will move Kazmir. He has been pretty solid the last couple of seasons. He has a lot of experience and he is still only 31 years old. Do you think he might be a good fit for us?
  19. a700hitter
    Let them close their browser. I am not going to be chased off by a couple of posters with hate and anger issues. Why don't you call your buddy UN to task on the fact that he still comes after me even though I block him and don't engage him. Seriously, he forces the issue.
  20. a700hitter
    Maybe Ben should try to talk Boof Bonser out of retirment. LOL!
  21. a700hitter
    And the typical post mortem from the FO is that the pitching coach was having trouble getting through to the pitchers. They don't admit to scapegoating. Which post mortem story do you believe?
  22. a700hitter
    There isn't enough information to draw a conclusion, but there is plenty of information on which to form an opinion. I don't think anyone thinks it is a pure PR move. Scapegoating is not usually done just for PR purposes. It is usualy done to send a message to those who remain behind that they could be next. It is meant to be motivational, but I think it is a very poor motivational technique.
  23. a700hitter
    But we know what it looks like. It's like when an owner gives a vote of confidence to his manager. It usually comes right before the manager gets fired. We know what it looks like despite what the FO says. So while we don't know the exact circaumstances of this firing, we know what it looks like -- like scapegoating. Edit: I'll ask again. What do you think was the likely reason for his firing or don't you have enough information to form an opinion?
  24. a700hitter
    I agree with this. This is a great analysis of the move.
  25. a700hitter
    I am not certain, but I do find it hard to believe that Nieve's ability to communicate broke down so badly 5 weeks into the season that it warranted him being fired. If communications were really the issue, they probably would have given him a warning and a little more time. If there had been reports of bad behavior, the firing would have been understandable, but I have heard none. I am not certain, but I am going with the probability that he was the scapegoat. What do you think was the likely reason for his firing or don't you have enough information to form an opinion?
