Larry Stone depresses us all
“Felix makes his penultimate Cy Young case against an A’s team that has won 16 of 21 games — an ominous development for next season. Ominous for Seattle, that is — the A’s have a lot of young talent that seems to be jelling, and they could be quite dangerous next year. "
Verlander threw 129 pitches.
That seems a bit stupid
So..?
He had no business being out there in the 8th and it nearly cost them the game
No he didn't, terrible defense was the problem in the 9th
Granderson made a fool of himself, as did Polanco.
Verlander in the 8th inning:
Weak fly ball, ground ball, ground ball, wild pitch, ground ball, line drive, ground ball.
Some bad luck nearly cost them the game. Verlander was all right.
It was a 5-2 game at that point though, right?
I just don’t see why he was sent back out there for another inning when he’d already thrown 115 odd pitches and they had a comfortable lead
I wondered, too, but looking at Detroit's pen . . . I'm cool with it.
And who knows, some guys are just horses. Verlander always seems to run high pitch counts without losing much effectiveness.
At least it's not a mustache.

Fuck Anaheim.
I like that part because of the giddiness in his voice.
And then the classic home run call is always a given.
His value is depleting before our eyes
GMZ better get on that extension
That's Rodriguez from last year, isn't it?

Nick Johnson has never been worth 6 wins even at the peak of his career
He’d have the be healthy for the entire season, play outstanding defense, regain his lost power, and hit for a career high in average to be even close to approaching that total.

Sometimes I wonder if we're too hard on Rob Johnson's defense, but for fuck's sake.
Not that the runner would have been out, but Johnson made it look like it was a 100 mph slider taking a bad hop.
