Ugh. 34

3 Jun 2009  |  monkeyball  |Game Thread

I count 4 major-league hitters in the A’s lineup tonight.

Leadoff Hitter Extraordinaire continues his inexplicable hold on the #1 slot, Crosby + DFAvis get the start against the lefty, and Woohoozuki has the night off. (OK, I’ll be charitable and say that Powell has the potential to be a major-league hitter.)

And Outman looks like a lost Baldwin Brother.

    Ah, Sciosciaesque.

    Is it just me, or do we seem to have seen an inordinate number of infield singles to SS this year?

      maybe, but is that because Cabrera is bad or because the balls would get by other SS?

        Could be a combination of good range + bad arm.

        Not sure at all — or even if there have been more than usual/expected.

        For the most part, I think Cabrera’s looked very good, especially going to his right and on exchanges at second.

          Yeah, that no-hands roller to kennedy a couple weeks ago was awesome.

            Those two really are fun to watch on exchanges.

    Double-ugh.

    OK, I retract both of those Ughs — for some perspective, this is an Ugh.

    Who says the bottom of our lineup sucks.

      I do, and I resolutely stand by that assertion.

    Damn, I called Powell “coming through” in the wrong thread. My prescience is lost to history…

  8. monkeyball Jun 3,2009 5:38 pm

    Well, this … is improbable.

      Nah. We fail to score with the bases loaded and 1 out all the time. Especially with the top of the lineup hitting.

    Powell’s up to 4th on the team in OPS ahead of Suzuki.

      I think Outman looks more like this guy (Ron Perlman), circa Name of the Rose, than any lost Baldwin brother.

        Circa Name of the Rose, you think he looks like a disfigured hunchback?

        • the dogfather Jun 4,2009 7:24 am || Up

          More than he looks like Hellboy or the Beast. YMMV.

          Although “Hellboy” might be a good nick for him?

            I still prefer “Bangkok Outman”

                  Well, speaking of Mice, behold my first attempt at a Rescue vid.

                  It’s racing to the top o’ the charts.

    I finally got around to posting my thoughts on the Breaking Bad season finale here.
