Series Thread: M's vs A's Aug 13th - 15th

I think the A's need a good old fucking, right in the face.

Couldn't have said it better myself.

I was checking the splits to see if maybe some sort of platoon would make sense at 3B, but the difference is minimal and I believe Seager provides more value defensively at 3B than Healy.

I've been a fan of Healy and still have hope for him, that's why I wish there was some way of keeping him in the lineup or trading him for something of value. After coming off the DL he hit all 22 of his HRs over the course of 94 games. That's 38 HRs when you distribute it over a 162 game schedule. His OBP is abysmal and his average over that period (.248) is mediocre, but he still does offer a substantial threat to go deep whenever he's at the plate.

He still does have room to improve IMO.

.

yeah that is exactly why ..they will keep him..for a few more years....and hope his ave goes up

there is no trading cano either....so a platoon is probable...

if........ there is a trade on pos players ...my guess would be seager.......but only after they got a player to replace him
or something like that...for sure not untill the end of the season


and maybe that is why...they had cano...at 3B...maybe seager to the bench

how are those splits????.......and cano maybe not bad at 3B..let's check it out....lol

 

[ulmax]

if cano to 3b...became an evary day thing then i could see a seager trade...even sooner

and they would need a ss/3b/1b who could hit better than seager...and romine

leonys hitting 250 for the last two years is comparable to heredia..but heredia is down to 222 right now

Didn't think about Cano at 3B.

He definitely has the range for it, but does he have the arm? Throwing from 2nd is much different than throwing from 3rd to first. One of the things that made Adrian Beltre great as a 3B was his cannon of an arm. They probably would've considered it, but Cano likely doesn't have that kind of arm.

Dee Gordon (shoulder) scratched from lineup

Dee Gordon (shoulder) was a late scratch from the Mariners' lineup Monday.

Gordon had been slated to return to action after missing one game with a sore left shoulder, but evidently he's not quite ready yet. He should be considered day-to-day for the time being. Andrew Romine will get another start at second base.

And the defense starts off cold as ice already.

And the defense starts off cold as ice already.

Pretty much been the same for the offense too. A's jump out to 1-0.

bad 1st inning gonzales seems ..rolling now

I think Cano will do well at 1B. IMO he's still an above average 2B defensively.

 

[WizardHawk]

Of course we have to have Romine in a game of this importance.

 

[Lineman16]

Hey Romi the little white thing is a baseball your suppose to hit it

 

[seahawksfan234]

Wonder why Dee Gordon is now pulled for an injury?

First 54 games: 19 SB (3 CS)
Last 53 games: 8 SB (5 CS)

Must be playing through an injury if they aren't running him as much.

Worth noting that his batting stats haven't changed much though.

 

[seahawksfan234]

Segura will have a nice bruise after that slide into him.
