The hell?

Has he suffered his first injury???

They grow up so fast these days.

ak_A - April 7, 2009 reply

So sez SuSlu:

Matt Holliday isn’t in the lineup tonight because of a “non-baseball related condition,” which means he’s ill.

calgbear - April 7, 2009 reply

He looked it yesterday,

lunging at pitches and seeming out of sorts at the plate; he did NOT look like the Matt Holliday we traded for. Glad to hear he wasn’t feeling 100%, actually.

So, whoever had ONE n the "How long until he's hurt" pool is the winner.

Being ill isn't exactly being injured, though

Your comments make me hurt!

Yeah, you’re right.

alea iacta est - April 7, 2009 reply

THE ZOMBIES HAVE STARTED THEIR ATTACK!

A quick thought about Cahill

I wouldn’t be too quick to assume that just because the Angels aren’t a patient team that he will get away with not throwing strikes. The Angels aren’t dumb, and they know the scouting report is “don’t chase the ball under the knees.” I suspect Cahill will need to prove he can hit the knees with his sinker before the Angels will start swinging freely.

If Cahill doesn’t throw a lot of strikes, even the Angels might walk 4-5 times against him. But if he does throw strikes early on, you can expect to see a lot of routine ground balls and then maybe some expansion of the strike zone as the game progresses.

I don't really care if he walks 4-5 people. As long as he gets ground balls on his sinker and

some strikeouts on his other pitches he’ll be fine. A walk is just the first step in a double play.

Hmm...It's a very good litmus test for his overall success

Cahill will not be successful in the major leagues walking a batter every other inning. If he walks a batter every three innings, however, he will be terrific.

Sure in the long run, but this first half season I'm happy with small steps

Yeah - I'm just suggesting that the most important step, big or small,

is to throw strikes. If he gives up 8 hits and 1 BB in 6 IP and wins, I’ll be thrilled and optimistic going forward. If he gives up 3 hits and 4 BB in 6 IP and wins, I’ll be happy today but less optimistic going forward.

Don't be afraid to let your optimism run free man!

Hey, I'm all about optimism in April

It’s APRIL! There’s baseball and the Angels have the same record as the Mariners – let it stay that way.

I mean I don't think Cahill's control in April 2009 has a lot to do with his long term

success. I think he’s a future perennial Cy Young contender (if healthy) no matter what his control is like now. A lack of control now would only tell me that he’s farther away from his peak.

Off topic somewhat

But I didn’t want to make a fanpost just for this, and I can’t seem to post a fan shot without a link..

What (and where) are a vegan’s choices at our lovely concrete bowl in Oakland? I’m bringing a buddy to Opening Night, and he’s vegan, so we would like to know what his options are.

Kaiser99 - April 7, 2009 reply

Wait, is he a VEE-ginn or a VAY-gun?

There used to be something called veggie dogs.

I don’t think they had anything meaty or dairy, or formerly alive, in them. But the artist formerly known as Higher Pie will probably be along shortly, with a much more authoritative answer.

The Dogfather - April 7, 2009 reply

No he won't. He choked on a huge cube of tofu earlier today.

I tried, valiantly, to perform the Heimlich Maneuver but it just doesn’t work very well over the phone.

Yummy!

I love huge cubes of tofu — preferably yuba or yudofu.

Nachos

pretty sure the “cheese” has no actual cheese.

it's flavored butter

like at taco bell

flipgatey3 - April 7, 2009 reply

There is a salad/sandwich place near home plate

Salads might have cheese on them, though. I think your best bet might be to bring food along — check out the Vietnamese deli at Fruitvale BART. Though I am one of those who feels everything is better with bacon or foie gras on it, I do love me some papaya salad and tofu spring rolls.

Englishmajor - April 7, 2009 reply

vegan food

I’m vegetarian, so I have a few more options, but they have delicious steamed veggiedogs which might be made out of plastic. I’m not sure what they fry the fries in, but I’d suspect it’s vegan friendly – it depends how many questions you’re going to ask.

Actually, this is what I’d recommend – you’re allowed to bring food into the ground, so I’d pick up a burrito or falafel wrap or other handheld food of choice in the town where you live, and eat it when you get in.

Or, if you’re like me, eat it outside whilst you’re drinking tecate…

alea iacta est - April 7, 2009 reply

Thanks for the replies

I guess I should clarify – he’s not “full blown vegan” since he swears by cheese (it’s about the only flavor he can get), although he tends to steer away from other dairy products when possible.

Sorry I didn’t state that beforehand, I’m rather ignorant when it comes to what the differences are between vegan/vegetarians and what they eat (I like my steak). We’re definitely thinking it’s best he grab some food beforehand.

I hate not having CSNCA.

#14fan - April 7, 2009 reply

Geren just confirmed it was a double-steal attempt last night

Base stealers were 18/25 last year against Saunders, “he can be run against.”

18/25 isn't that great. And Ellis isn't a good base stealer.

Geren needs to use his mind more effectively.

He should use his mind more effectively when it comes to lineups.

Again, the closest an A's runner got to third base all night? Then.

Ellis might have actually gotten there legitimately if he hadn't been ordered to pull a boner.

Yeah, I got the feeling last night that folks were underestimating

Ellis’ speed. I’d say he used to have above-average speed and now has average speed. He’s not slow.

Average speed isn't getting you a 75% success rate

Slightly above average speed plus good baserunning will.

Chavy is 57/74 career (73.4%).

I always thought Chavez was pretty fast.

In any case Geren better not try that again unless Ellis can get a much bigger jump.

I still say the blame lies with Ellis for not stopping

when he didn’t get the jump. He could have just waited a pitch.

OK. I'll buy that.

The lineup: Ryan Sweeney CF, Orlando Cabrera SS, Jason Giambi DH, Nomar Garciaparra 1B, Eric Chavez 3B, Jack Cust RF, Kurt Suzuki C, Travis Buck LF, Mark Ellis 2B.

MoneyManWilliam - April 7, 2009 reply

Well, Cust hitting sixth is better than him hitting eighth.

so Cust moves over zook interesting

This is a total L/R lineup

I prefer ones that are more OBP/OPS/worst hitter based, especially against a team whose three best short relievers are all right-handed.

Ya I don't fear Darren Oliver enough to care about LRLR here.

No kidding - heck if it gets him in the game,

I’ll gladly put Cust, Giambi, and Chavy in a row just to make it happen.

Nomar cleanup

That’s different. I’m so not liking these lineups. Cabrera #2 vs. a RHP = Lame. Cust after the high OBP guys (Giambi, Chavez) = Lame. Buck batting 8th = And Cabrera’s batting 2nd???

I don't like these either. I'm getting annoyed with Geren.

What the Fuck is Geren thinking?

New sigline!

OK not really

any one know the lineup?

Cust will take LF and Buck RF

oo nvm

i have a fantasy Q

should i drop Ianetta C from Colorado and pick up zook or keep Ianetta. i like to have A’s but Iannetta is ranked like 120 something.

I don't know fantasy that well, but I wouldn't think Suzuki's stats

would be very fantasy-friendly, especially hitting at the Coliseum 81 times.

ya and cathing 160 games

This sounds very painful

Ianetta is by far the better player.

xbhaskarx - April 7, 2009 reply

Woohoo AN day anahiem haha go A’s!!

drmmerchk - April 7, 2009 reply

sooo predictions

i say 4-2 a’s win

9-1 A's

Remember the 4-game series last year where the A’s had two blowout wins and two pitcher’s duel losses? I’m envisioning that for this series.

I like it.

It’s scientific.

I’ll go with a 4-2 victory for our Athletics tonight.

4-2 is gaining popularity

i say

a two run homer by Nomahhh and a two run double by sweeney…

I say

three RBI FC grounders by Buck and a squeeze bunt by Cust.

Productive outs!

We’re gritty as heck.

i say

what does FC mean?

Fielder's choice

Fielder's Choice

Or if you’re on the Brewers, Fielder’s Crotch.

Football Club?

How about funny corn?

Ha!

How about a four run custian bomb.

I'm counting on the A's for ESPN streak for cash

along with 6% of all other participants! Everyone else say Slegna

My winning streak is at four games. I’m thinking about going with the Angels just so that if the A’s do lose, I’ll have a very, very little something to hang my hat on. I have about 14 minutes to decide, however.

I did that last night

/failed

But i just did it again.

/fan

6.7% think A’s win this game? Well I hope they do and prove 92.3% wrong!

On DirecTV channel 724, I am watching the Tigers-Blue Jays game. The Jays have the bags full in the bottom of the ninth in a 4-4 game.

Who's pitching? Rodney?

Lyon blew the lead in the eighth and he’s still pitching.

I can't hide his eyes.

The Blue Jays won on the great walk-off sacrifice fly, 5-4.

Sacrifice flies are great news for sacrifice frogs

There's no "I" in frog

MLB Extra Innings is telling me I have to wait for 4 more innings of the Cubs game...

Why the hell would they schedule that?

A Cubs game? Don't ask me.

That game is on channel 727.

Ready for takeoff!

No it's not... I'm not in the Bay Area...

I’m in Bismarck, ND.

You’re talking about the free preview, right?

Yes.

I’m watching it on DirecTV channel 727.

The Astros lead it, 2-1, heading into the seventh inning.

I'm watching it on Midcontinent Cable 380... same f'n game...

Oh, I thought that you couldn’t watch the game.

Sorry.

I can't until the Cubs are done.

They only slotted 2 hours for the Cubs game. It started at 7CST. WTF?!?

Damn, that’s terrible.

Which means the A's game will be in the 3rd inning before we can watch...

Zito looks so young

damn almost 100 coments before the game starts

I'm hoping we finish off a thread or two before the game starts

yeah

Why is it so crowded?

CSNCS says Lakers v. Kings on Comcast cable???? A's pregame is now

If you have DirecTV, turn it on channel 652.

Do I have to turn it to that channel?

I have Directv and don’t want to “blow up” if I don’t follow orders :-O

Well, that’s where the A’s are, man!

I'm on 733 and still alive and well

do I get the game in Sacramento?

I don’t see it. Super lame.

IMissMiggy - April 7, 2009 reply

I "see" it on CSN+

AT least that’s what the Guide says. but I don’t actually see the game.

Hi everyone!

Is there a particluar reason....

is there any links to the game???

Love watching debuts

but love watching debuts live a heck of a lot more. My favorite was seeing Harden in KC and it was obvious that he was going to be a great pitcher. Huddy is still my favorite! Used to be Dave Stewart but Hudson just made me believe that a small guy had a chance. “Welcome to ME, MF’er!”

I can tell it's baseball season

They can't pick Cabrera off while he's batting, can they?

Giambi's bat needs to come alive soon

I don’t know, but maybe they’re just trying too hard.

That's what she said

I watch The Office too much.

Please refrain from early negative comments about Cahill

if he struggles tonight. This is a risky move but it could pay huge dividends by the end of the season… if not tonight!

I DON'T LIKE THE WAY HE'S WARMING UP!!!!!111

I'm a little worried about his control.

Still think it’s a nice risk to start him with the big club. We don’t have a lot of choices anyway.

Nomar tried killing an angel right there

I like him already

Hopefully he’ll learn to pick it at 1B.

how many innings until the A’s actually get a score

No. No one got to third yesterday.

Only Chavy made it to 3B

of course, that’s his position…

He is trying to be too fine with his lineup.

So you're saying he needs lessons

from Barry Zito on how to be FITZ?

Last two lineups are the SHITZ

So we could see K-Hill sooner.

Shit.

DON’T WORRY WE HAVE AWESOME INFIELD DEFENSE.

c'mon Ellie!

shoulda had him at home

He wouldn't have gotten it.

Take the out at first.

Especially with a young pitcher

It was hit pretty slowly and Figgins had a great jump

You had to try to get him

The kid is looking a little amped on the mound and could use the backup.

Angels Score, 1-0

Game Over

Final.

Damn

Luckily with our new lineups our pitchers don’t have to be perfect but your right they can’t let any runs cross.

I will believe in the new lineup

when they manage to score a run.

We may be waiting awhile though.

Hence the don’t let the other team score :(

NOt looking good so far

God damnit Vlad....

1 Run, Inning Over

Cahill got his ass out of that.

Oh boy.

cool

going to grab a quick drink so I can be back before our offense epic fails and the kids back on the mound

what happened with the umps and scoscia?

for those who don’t have TV?

I dunno

I watch with the sound off. It was stupid, whatever it was.

Obvious foul ball. Ump calls a ball.

Geren argues and gets call overturned. Scioscia comes out and bitches even though it was the obvious call.

Okay, could have been much worse.

I’ve got a good feeling about Cahill next inning.

That was his M.O. last game

Touched in the first, then settled down

yeah

2 walks + 2hits = not HORRENDOUS.
If he settles down, I’m proud of him.

Time to score our 1st run of the year

10 scoreless innings is more than enough
