Sunday Morning with Colon – gamethread 252

by the way, colon lost to boca 1-0 yesterday.  or rather, boca won to colon.  but watching that game (and napping partly through it), it was the first time i’ve ever noticed that this was an anatomical matchup, what with boca meaning mouth and all.

      It’s supposed to be the free MLB.TV game of the day, but my stupid internet is too slow and it won’t load for me. Have I mentioned lately that I hate AT&T?

      • AV Apr 29,2012 10:52 am || Up

        i hate AT$T too!

        i’ve spent hours. HOURS. on the phone with them solving simple problems such as, yes, my name shows up with two addresses and one phone number… this should not be a confusion. this is because i’m trying to move and retain the phone number, so can you stop sending the technician to the old address please?

    boca’s goal was one of the best so far in this argentine tournament. they turned around a colon corner and countered fairly perfectly, even if the blame lies with colon’s untidy defense a little bit. and silva, who’d come onto the team as a “goleador” but had only scored once so far in 12 games, nails the hal-chilena and celebrates with good humor.

    vince’s problem is quickly announcing they play and then stopping for dramtic effect when the play is over. delaying telling up the outcome

        not sure its a dramatic pause of just him being tripped on his own unnecessary words.

        And I don’t mean to imply that is his only problem as a broadcaster.

        I think he would be a great tv guy.

    dear boston red sox, stop wondering why sweeney isn’t hitting as many home runs as his build seems to ensure. the reason is, because swingles. maybe swoubles.

      I know the A’s are desperate for a competent third baseman. I’m not sure Inge qualifies anymore. His numbers last year were really terrible, although I suppose he is an upgrade with the glove.

      • futwork Apr 29,2012 11:40 am || Up

        At least he’s been decent in the not-so-distant past. Luke Hughes is hopeless.

        • lenscrafters Apr 29,2012 11:42 am || Up

          Take a good long last look at Luke Hughes, guys. He’ll be off to the land of Langerhans and Thompson soon enough.

      • dmoas Apr 29,2012 11:45 am || Up

        Can he field the ball? Seems like that might be the only real pre-rec for the A’s right now.

        • bear88 Apr 29,2012 11:54 am || Up

          I just want a competent defensive third baseman. If Inge can do that, I can live with him.

    • aardvark Apr 29,2012 11:56 am || Up

      If the Athletics sign Inge, they will owe him the pro-rated portion of the minimum salary of $480,000.
      source

      I’m fine with that.

      Inge, a career .234 hitter over 12 years with the Tigers, is a career .144 hitter in Oakland.

      In 125 career AB in oakland. Ouch

      • lenscrafters Apr 29,2012 11:59 am || Up

        I remember him getting some big hits off the A’s in the 06 ALCS so I’ve always been irritated when I see his face.

      • bear88 Apr 29,2012 12:08 pm || Up

        With those numbers in the Coliseum, Inge will fit right in.

    • colin Apr 29,2012 1:16 pm || Up

      I would rather just keep playing Sogard. Or Donaldson. Or bring up Rosales. Or Wes Timmons. But I’ll try not to get worked up, because none of the options are worth getting angry over.

  6. bear88 Apr 29,2012 11:32 am

    I must say that Colon’s performance so far this season has been strikingly impressive.

    i’ve been waiting to see the new orioles hats in action. mlb replay just gave me that chance. as much as i love the idea of different-colored fronts, especially in their color combo, for some reason, and i think it’s the build of the hats themselves, it doesn’t seem to work. the white area looks really big and the bell (bell? whatever the term is…) of the hat seems bubbly. conclusion, until they rebuild the hat itself with a shorter hat, the orioles look like little leaguers.

      • AV Apr 29,2012 12:06 pm || Up

        i like them in concept and am all for them. in current practice they look goofy and need refining. seems they lost some knowledge on how to make them look good, sometime between the trucker and the fitted eras. sorta like how when they gave a tribe a bunch of ginsu knifes to help them cut things better, but then the next generation didn’t learn hot to make their own knives and when the ginsus rusted they all starved. true factoid!

    Cespedes may not be a particularly good center fielder, and is painful to watch at times, but pitchers need to avoid throwing him fastballs on the inside of the plate.

    I know RBIs are a misleading stat, but 19 seems like a lot for the A’s by the end of April.

    So why did they pull Colon again? He essentially made no bad pitches, and the two runners who got on could have easily been outs, particularly Jones.

    • danmerqury Apr 29,2012 1:12 pm || Up

      but yes, that has always bugged me, when a pitcher is giving up groundball singles and suddenly he sucks. most famous example is pedro in the 2003 alcs, he gave up a couple of dinks and littleis supposed to pull him? why?

    • lenscrafters Apr 29,2012 1:22 pm || Up

      It was only a matter of time. Coming into today, the pitching had the second lowest ERA in the league but also the second lowest K rate. The offense has been historically bad but it’ll only regress to terrible, which probably won’t be enough to make up for the pending regression of the pitching.

      The A’s now enter a tough stretch where they don’t play a team that finished under .500 last year until the last series in May. I, for one, enjoyed our run of semi-competence against really bad teams.

      • danmerqury Apr 29,2012 1:30 pm || Up

        Not to mention a 6% HR/FB ratio. Accordingly, the FIP-xFIP differential is huge. Lots and lots of regression coming our way.

        • nobody in particular Apr 29,2012 1:39 pm || Up

          Yeah, you can’t help but think the pitching will regress and regress mightily. But we knew coming in that this is a pretty bad team with no chance to win, so my disappointment is tempered.

          Being a real fan though, it’s hard not to dwell on losses like today that should be wins; even though the rational mind knows it doesn’t matter I still am bummed out.

            Exactly this. As a baseball fan I love the pitcher’s duels that go down to the wire and every play of the game matters.
            As an A’s fan I agree with Peter Golenbock

  30. lenscrafters Apr 29,2012 1:12 pm

    Watching the replay, Barton almost certainly should’ve made the play on Colon’s throw. Sogard’s throw was a little tougher, but if a large part of your value is going to come from defense, you have to make both those plays.

    • mother pucker Apr 29,2012 1:17 pm || Up

      Completely agree.

    • dmoas Apr 29,2012 1:32 pm || Up

      I thought the reverse, but mostly because I thought he should have come off the bag for Colon’s to at worst keep it 1st & 2nd. Otherwise, agreed.

    Ok so.

    The 9th inning sucked. Whatever. We lost our game because not one, but TWO of the goals I scored were waved off on FKing bullshit offside calls — like, I normally don’t care and just turn back because whatever it’s just soccer on Sunday afternoon, but the damn linesman was 15 yards behind the play because he was lazy and negated a pair of fantastic plays by my team because we schooled the defense and it LOOKED like we got by them no problem. Asshole.

    Now the good news. Not just one, but TWO potential gigantic gas guzzling (not really they’re diesel) trucks to offset DFA’s miniature nissan versa carbon footprint. WOO.

        based on looks, so do I. The brown doesn’t look all that great.

            Currently 1975, but SB 1224 would change it to 1981.

            Diesels prior to 1998 are exempt also.

            In short? 73-87 bodystyle crew cab chevy/GMC truck that I will shorten the frame of and make a regular 6’5 shortbed instead of the 8′ monster.

            Best case scenario would be a single rear wheel, but if I have to get a dually and convert it that’s fine since I have to swap the bed anyway from the long to the short.

            Diesel because, well, 18mpg instead of 8. As great as mashing around in a big block chevy truck with a 3 speed non-overdrive would be… I’d go broke paying for fuel.

            Also a diesel can run on like grease or dirty water or hipster tears or something if there’s a zombie apocolypse, so I have that goin for me.

                  i like them all, but then again, i’m a fan of any car/truck made mostly out of metal. and i get to live vicariously through V’s truck hunt because i’ve always wanted a big f100 myself, always. but the gas mileage vs. i don’t have anything to actually haul make it prohibitive.

                  The mileage thing is why it’s gotta be diesel.

                  For the car buyer/user I think you are, who hopes to stick with the car for 8+ years rather than trading in a lot, a non-turbo is wise. Those turbo engines run super-hot (by design), and thus can have a higher fail rate.

                  1979 Toyota Corolla.

                  Saved up my own money and when I had $1000 mom told me that was what I was getting because it was dependable and good on gas. It was ugly and I hated it. But it was great on gas and it ran and ran. Eventually I sold it because it was breaking down. Turned out it was shoddy mechanic work. I sold it to my sister in law for like $500, she had a good mechanic work it up and it took her like 5 more years of running it into the ground before it finally gave out.

                  Same.

                  My parents had always had sticks, so while I “learned” it there, it didnt feel different because that was just how you drove a car.

                  True confession-the first time I ever got behind the wheel of a car I got in an accident. We had taken a friend’s keys and ran out to the empty parking lot we were in and everyone had started taking turns in his car (he was the guy in the group who always got picked on.) So it was finally my turn, I got in, and had NO idea how to drive it-WHERE THE HELL WAS THE SHIFTER NEXT TO THE SEAT LIKE MOM AND DAD HAVE?!? But being a stupid kid that was gonna stop me from trying to take a turn.

                  So I get in and tap the gas, everyone is telling me to back up but I don’t know what the hell to do. Next thing I know I’m in a 5mph sideswipe of the lightpost in the parking lot.

                  As far as the insurance company knows, some kids stole the car and did some joyriding. Looking back now i could have just as easily ran over someone at low speed. I think of this every time the eldest Ace asks me to take him to practice driving in the nearby parking lot..

                  We now only have automatics so I think my actual response will be “if you get in a car and you see a stick between the front seats, get out and go to the passenger side because youa rent driving that”.

                  But I will have little to worry about there-the Eldest Ace is way more responsible and smrt than I was at his age. Hell he may be more responsible than I am right now. He would never steal a friends keys and take his car for even a 5 foot joyride.

        Trout. Oh, realistically? I don’t see us getting much more than Callaspo, who is sporting a line worthy of an A’s 3B, although he probably projects to be better than Donaldson, Hughes, or Inge.

                  Wasn’t the main reason it was dumped on that it cost us a second-round pick? That cost is sunk now. The acquiring team just gets a pretty good late inning reliever without committing much cash.

                  contract is shorter now than it was last year.

                  the problem with the contract was A he wasn’t the closer last year and B it was too long and C it was in the contention cycle where it really didn’t matter if you gto good 8th inning relief. D there were better uses of the money.

          Not much point in that deal, that I can see. Callaspo would help us this season, but if we’re trading Balfour we’re punting this season, and I’d rather take my chances with Sizemore/Parker/Donaldson/Head going forward. At least they’ll be cheap.

        RHP Ariel Pena (C+)

        I also wouldn’t mind Trumbo. And I’m not entirely sure Segura or Cowart would be off the table. Aybar and Kendrick just signed extensions and the Angels have a logjam of prospects at those positions (3B as well).

            The A’s wanted Cowgill for Ziggy but AZ didn’t bite. Cowgill was a C+ prospect at the time so Allen/Norberto was actually worth less than a C+.

            Therefore, getting a B and a C for Balfour is just about what you could expect.

            • DFA Apr 30,2012 4:46 pm || Up
