http://www.athleticshomeplate.com/saunders-aka-another-lefty-continues-to-dominate-the-as/ A blog about Oakland Athletics Baseball Sat, 14 Jan 2012 02:36:48 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.1 http://www.athleticshomeplate.com/saunders-aka-another-lefty-continues-to-dominate-the-as/comment-page-1/#comment-140 334 Wed, 06 May 2009 05:54:33 +0000 http://www.athleticshomeplate.com/?p=117#comment-140 Don't blame Crosby, yeh his error caused 2 unearned runs, but the offense could have made up. And Crosby helped the offense by going 1 for 2 with a walk. He got on base 2 out of 3 times, which was more than Orlando or most of the other hitters in the lineup. The offense needs to pick it up. Also Orlando has the same amount of errors Crosby has and Crosby has played four different positions which is harder than playing 1 position.

Mabye I am an idiot but these days it looks like Beane is more concerned with making sure that Brad Pitt plays him in Moneyball than with anything that is going on on the field. After a month into the season it looks like Holliday never wanted to be traded here. He does not like this team or the American League which is not condusive to his aggresive style at the plate. I have never expected Geren to be a Torre or Pinella and I don't think he is going to work any magic with this team. Chavez, Ellis, and Nomar are busts. Even if they come back somehow this team will not perform because the pitching is not even close to Mulder, Hudson, Zito. Which is what all of us were thought we were getting when Beane traded Haren. This is a disaster!! Lew Wolf and Billy Beane have to sit down and think about another strategy because this is just not going to work!!!
