Series Thread: Let's take 4 from the hated A's!

[saddles]

Didn't Strasburg start pitching in the big leagues just barely over a year from the date of his TJ surgery?

Not completely......"I'm getting better actually."

Over my head I guess.

Did I hear that Coca Crisp was out for a while or is my imagination playing tricks on me?

You heard correctly. Reddick and Doolittle are also on the DL.

He's gone for 6-8 weeks.

I expect Holland to have an ERA of 3.20. Gallardo--4.10. Colby--3.95. Martinez--4.30. Detwiler--4.60

I think Perez starts pitching for us about July 28th and finishes the year with an ERA of 4.20. Chi Chi probably comes up when we trade Gallardo about the same time Perez arrives.

I think Gallo arrives well before September. Mazara is here in August. I think Alfaro starts about half of our games in September.

I am not really sure what to expect from Colby but I think his ERA will be in the 4's and I would be okay with that. And the way Chi Chi was handling himself this spring it will be hard to keep him down if he is blowing the opposition away down in the minors.

I wonder what is going thru Olt's head knowing Bryant will be called up in a few weeks.

Official prediction was sub .500, time to win 100 and show what I know!

Just realized today's game is at 9pm. Just weird given that it's an "Opening Day" game.

Based on Bennie's predictions, I don't think Colby's ERA is better than Gallardo's but we shall see

I would be ok with 80 wins and if they pitch better than I expect it could be more like 85

He has to be hoping for a trade.

 

[Bmurph]

I wonder what is going thru Olt's head knowing Bryant will be called up in a few weeks.

I think he is just glad to have cracked a ML roster for the time being, he probably gets moved to another team at some point. Bryant and Russell will be up and Castro will go to 3rd or get moved depending on whether Bryant is at 3rd or the OF.

Holland 3.20 - 14 wins
Gallardo 3.80 - 12
Lewis 3.95 - 11
Detweiler 4.15 - 10
Martinez 4.3 - 9

I will be feeling pretty good about our starters if that panned out. Now our bullpen, that may be another story. But we have been surprised before.

we need a predictions thread.... IMO

 

[BeaverShaver]

Lets go OAKLAND!!

Here's to a good season Texas fans...

And here's to Seattle underachieving and Anaheim Rancho Cucamungo failing in every way possible.

Here's to the A's returning to the dust from which they came.
