fathom Posted August 16, 2008 Share Posted August 16, 2008 QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 16, 2008 -> 04:41 AM) Gavin's been throwing low fastballs to Cust all night that he's fouled off. He has to be careful this AB with him, as Cust has been just barely behind on that pitch. Exactly what I was talking about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gregory Pratt Posted August 16, 2008 Share Posted August 16, 2008 Hawk was about to say that Floyd has the best curveball in the American League when he gave up that homerun (off a fastball). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justBLAZE Posted August 16, 2008 Share Posted August 16, 2008 We have all seen this happen so many times, we get of to a nice start and completely fall asleep as game goes on. Offense better wake up and get Gavin out of there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Balta1701 Posted August 16, 2008 Share Posted August 16, 2008 Well, if you can get 6 innings, 1 run earned, 110 pitches out of Gavin in Oakland, and have him leave with the lead, I'd say you should be pretty happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daa84 Posted August 16, 2008 Share Posted August 16, 2008 (edited) last time we played oakland ESPN ran a stat showing Cust's numbers on the fastball vs. breaking balls....the jist of it was, Cust doesnt chase pitches out of the zone, fastballs or curveballs...but in the strike zone, he rakes fastballs, and hits breaking balls at like a historically bad rate fathom beat me to saying this exact same thing Edited August 16, 2008 by daa84 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This game is on the offense inabilty to do anything that has allowed the A's to stay in this game. I guess those high fly balls that went foul down the left field line didn't teach AJP anything. Oh well, let's see if our bullpen can step up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This game is on the offense inabilty to do anything that has allowed the A's to stay in this game. OPS of .912 last year in 124 games, .796 in 109 games this year.

The Sox should hire us and send about 4 or 5 to scout out teams, we'd be happy because that job would be cool, they'd be happy because they might actually get more advanced scouting.
