nitetrain8601 Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 West Coast hasn't been favorable to us before, but that was before Swisher. We got a few guys on their team against us, but we won't see Sweeney as he's on the DL. Regardless, Oakland hasn't been playing at the level they were. Floyd will be playing in a spacious ballpark, so it's time to take advantage. Part one is tonight against the lefty. RIP'EM AND HAVE SOME BOOS AND SWISHER'S HOUSE!

southsider2k5 Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 From the FWIW category... The A's are 4-23 in their last 27 games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Spencer Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 The A's are not the same team we saw in early July. With that said, Gavin pitches a 3 hit shut-out (3 singles to Frank ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heads22 Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 Let's get BA some time in that outfield. The less Griffey having to cover that ground, the better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The less Griffey having to cover that ground, the better. Couldn't agree more. With three lefties pitching for Oakland, he could hit well and especially with the huge outfield in Oakland, BA is needed for his range. I would love BA to start all three games.

For realisies. there is no reason we should not sweep this team and hopefully increase our lead (albeit that could be hard with the twins playing an equally god awful team in seattle) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sox It To Em Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Aug 15, 2008 -> 02:46 PM) From the FWIW category... The A's are 4-23 in their last 27 games. The A's have been in a freefall. It wasn't more than a couple of months ago when it looked like they might give the Angels a run for their money in the West. I guess they collapsed because Beane traded away most of their good players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KGs OPS vs. lefties = .676 KGs OPS vs. righties = .803 BA is pretty damn good against lefties even though his average isn't too good agaisnt them, especially since he is a legit deep threat against them. Plus. his GG caliber defense in Oakland is huge because of how big that outfield is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BAs OPS vs RHP = .660, .293 BAbip BAs OPS vs LHP = .654, .237 BAbip You were very right, He walks more against LHP and has more hrs as well. For this year his BAbip splits are even more ridiculous. BAs BAbip vs RHP = .338 BAs BAbip vs LHP = .162 All of his homers have been off of LHP this year. I really mainly paid attention the avg something I dont usually do, thanks for correcting me.

CaliSoxFanViaSWside Posted August 16, 2008 Share Posted August 16, 2008 Alexei kills lefties . He should be batting 2nd all 3 games. He needs the AB's to be eligible for the batting title. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
