Open Gameday Thread, 4/2.Second Thread

I have to admit to a disturbing dislike for the Athletics.  I can say it came from my father, but that's too easy.  I mean, I'm kind of all grown up now and can make my own choices, right?  Um, right?

they’re resentful and jealous. the A’s have always been and always will be 2nd fiddle in the Bay Area when it comes to baseball, despite have won a few more championships than the Giants. Plus, they’re poor and their stadium sucks balls and they have to share it with Al Davis and it is run by the government, so it blows even more.

Okay the juicy tidbits from this morning in San Jose

Buster Posey emphatically told me he was calling pitches this year with the Giants.

Steve Decker projects his rotation to go Maday Periera Snyder McNiven Sosa. He says Sosa and Pereira are both good health wise.

Also I’m in love with Jim Davenport. He spoke at the boondoggle today and he’s adorable. His story about how he ended up at Ole Miss and beat Bart Starr twice in his college football career was great. The SEC wouldn’t take married players at the time, and Davenport got married his senior year in high school. He wanted to go to Alabama but would have been behind Starr. So he ended up at Ole Miss. He calls Pablo and the kids “the boys.” So cute.

I love it when

pitchers point to pop ups. During Bengie’s at bat he popped one up foul down 1b line and Ziegler is pointing up to the sky where the ball is. I always wonder how many major league infielders have lost track of a pop up, only to have their trusty pitcher help them find it again. I’ve always wondered who the hell they’re pointing for, seeing how nobody on their team is watching them.

I don't get it

Why do the A’s get the love from the media, while the Giants get the sharp end of the stick? The way I see it, both teams are very similar, only they have good offense, we have good (nay, great) pitching. Their question marks is pitching, ours is offense.

And that is a huge question mark for the A’s and yet you have Tim K talk up the A’s rotation something like this, “They’re young, see, and so was Lincecum, and so were Mulder, Hudson, Zito, so they’re going to be good.” No, they are not necessarily going to be. This is exactly what was said about their 4 Aces in the early 90’s, Van Poppel, Karsay, Dressendorfer, and Slusarski, this is what was said about Homer Bailey. Yes, they have a lot of good potential, but not all of them cross the chasm to the majors, and once there, they don’t always keep it, see the Giants failures with Ainsworth, Williams, and Foppert.

That comment said it all: “Dallas Braden is their opening day starter”. I would also add that they just lost Joey Devine, putative co-closer, and it could be serious. But the media lapdogs slobber all over Holliday and Giambi and think everything is going to be fine. Well, last I heard, Chavez has been injured every year for 4 out of the last 5 years; who want to bet it’ll be 5 out of 6?

And really, who else is good in the lineup? Suzuki? Buck? Sweeney? Ellis? Cabrera? They are all low to mid 700 OPS hitters for the most part. They got Cust, Holliday, and Giambi, and Giambi’s old, 38 YO, nobody carps on that, nor that his road numbers have been ordinary the past two seasons, and now he hits in Oakland, a pitcher’s park, people are going to get a surprise with his offense in fantasy baseball this season, and the wind from all the whiffs Cust and Giambi are going to accumulate will be wind tunnel strength. That’s their superior offense?

The Giants potentially could have a lineup of hitters around .800 OPS, +/- 50 points, but mostly around .800 if people perform as their past suggests. That’s going to be better than an all or nothing lineup with Holliday, Cust and Giambi in the middle.
