Series Preview: Oakland Athletics @ Texas Rangers - Last Gasp of the West

PrintHey Oakland, yeah, over here. So you want to win the AL West, right? You're looking for a nice post season series as a reward for your 162 games of hard work I'm sure. Well, allow me to tell you how you can achieve your goal. But first, I have to inform you that there's a team in Texas that is doing you 8.5 games better for that opportunity. But don't worry; I'll walk you through this. So, let's say the Rangers reach their predicted 92 wins--not just Nolan Ryan's predicted 92 wins but BP's PECOTA adjusted prediction, as well--that means you, the A's, with your current record of 63-63, will have to go 30-6 the rest of the way to outpace the Rangers with a 93-69 record. Sounds simple enough, right? However, let's say the Rangers are on pace at the moment to only win 90 games. Now, you're only looking at having to go 28-8 the rest of the way. That's even better! You're getting closer already. But we can go one further. Let's say, for a moment, that those Rangers hit a rough patch, and they finish their season playing only around .500 ball. They go 17-18 the rest of the way to end up with a record of 89-73. Now you only have to go 27-9 the rest of the way and that division is all yours!
You can thank me later.
In the meantime, let's look at some series outcomes, shall we? Here are the four possible scenarios that can come from this series:
- A's sweep - Rangers lead by 5.5 games with 32 games remaining
- A's win 2 of 3 - Rangers lead by 7.5 games with 32 games remaining
- Rangers win 2 of 3 - Rangers lead by 9.5 games with 32 games remaining
- Rangers sweep - Rangers lead by 11.5 games with 32 games remaining
If you're going to win the west, Oakland, you probably want to go with the first scenario. That would be my advice.
Friday, August 27 7:05: LHP Brett Anderson vs. RHP Tommy Hunter
*Saturday, August 28 7:05: LHP Dallas Braden vs. RHP Rich "Huge Dong" Harden
Sunday, August 29 2:05: LHP Gio Gonzalez vs. RHP Colby Lewis
*- LSB Suite Night
Of course, the A's might have the pitchers going to do just that. Sure, none of them are named Trevor Cahill, thankfully, but all of the A's starters in this series hold a particular advantage in that they are lefties and that's like Texas Ranger lineup kryptonite. In addition, worse than Cahill, the Rangers are getting their first look of the season at Brett Anderson. Brett Anderson is really, really good, y'all. He's 2.90 FIP with a .307 BABIP good. He's probably-going-to-win-some-Cy Young Awards-really-soon good. I hate that Trevor Cahill has made it a personal mission to be amazing against the Rangers while the A's also have Brett Anderson just being awesome at the front of the rotation. It makes me concerned about the future and that's not nice. However, both Cahill and Anderson look like fat baby-men. So now we can laugh through our tears over the next five years at the very least.
The Rangers, always the contrarians, have their all-righty brigade going. Isn't baseball funny? Colby Lewis will be pitching against the A's for what is like the 28th time this season. I'm not even trying to make a joke. Every time I turn around Colby Lewis is pitching a game against the A's. Luckily for him, this time, it isn't against Trevor "I hate you, Texas!" Cahill. However, he is facing off against Gio Gonzalez and Gio is no slouch himself. In fact, Gio Gonzalez is having a better year than Trevor Cahill.
Overall, I would favor the A's in the first game, though home field for the Rangers makes it closer than you might think, the second game is a crap-shoot considering no one knows which Rich Harden will show up other than a sexy one, and the third game likely favors the Rangers but not by much. All things considered, it is going to be very difficult for the A's to come in and sweep this series on the road which is likely the only play they can make to keep themselves even on the margins of the playoff race.

Questions to Ponder:
- Is Daric Barton the AL West's most underrated everyday player? He's been more valuable than any Angels player. He's .1 WAR behind being more valuable than anyone not named Ichiro if he were a Mariner. And besides Josh Hamilton and Nelson Cruz, he's been more valuable than any Ranger.
- Over/Under: 3.5 plays Kurt Suzuki makes in this series that Bengie Molina is too fat to make?
- Better career: Derek Holland or Trevor Cahill?
- It's March 2011, which team worries you most as the Rangers prepare to defend the AL West (AL? MLB?) crown? An Anaheim team with money and a full year of Dan Haren? Or the Athletics with their young starters and a full year from Brett Anderson?
- What happens at Suite Night stays at Suite Night, yes or no?

Yeah if Oakland gets some hitters in the off season they could run away with the west next year
of course a lot will depend on what the Rangers, Angels and Seattle do in the off season as well, that Oakland starting pitching is amazing right now, they don’t even seem to go into slumps, what is the record they have going about giving up 3 runs or less in several games in a row?

Depends what your definition of "running away" is and as of late August, we're not doing that this year.
If we drop the hammer this weekend and end up with 12-15 game lead on October 1, I’d call that running away.
All we’ve done since August 1 is dribble out the clock.

You don't get to "dribble out the clock"
unless you’re “running away.”

in late August is running away with the division.

Why, though? They're not a particularly talented offensive team, and their best offensive players have already figured it out
Barton is a stud, Suzuki is solid, but the rest of that roster is not really a group I’d want to go to war with and trust to “figure things out.”
Having one or two of Rosales, Ellis, Pennington, Patterson, Davis, Sweeney, and Crisp is fine. But you can’t be a good offensive team when you have ALL those guys.
THE RANGERS ARE FULL OF UNBELIEVEABLE SUCK GIVE UP NOW IT DOES NOT MATTER GOOD BYE.

Young teams are teams that can improve in a big hurry
and they seem to have solved the pitchiing equation.
I don’t think the Rangers will take a step back next year but I also don’t see taking a quantum step forward.

Because of a correlation of getting Reyes syndome from aspirin...
Tylenol is thought to be safer for children before the age of 12. (Yes including fetuses)
After the age of 12 (or not pregnant)… take asprin under most circumstances. However even then there are a few times when tylenol is safer, like if you have an ulcer or kidney failure.
Otherwise Tylenol does a huge number on your liver.
I had a friend who died of that sadly

The question about 2011
Is very simple. Who’s going to hit the ball. They desparately need a bat. someone who can hit the crap out of the ball and, then, another bat who can hit behind him.
I’m thinking Dunn and Thome, or something like that. Their offense just sucks too badly right now to think about them contending in the AL west. Even if the Rangers don’t sign Cliff Lee, their pitching should still be effective next year. If Feldman bounces back and Holland ever gives us a full season, then we could have a VERY good rotation. but lots of ifs. the A’s park is going to help their pitchers look better than they really are, but it also hurts their offense, which doesn’t need to look any worse. Otis Nixon bad, I tell you.
Mal: Well, quite a lot of fuss. If I didn't know better, I'd think we were dangerous.
we also have kirkman, feliz and other options for starting rotation
not to beat a deadhorse or start a discussion but our possibilities with rotation-bullpen for 2011 are endless.

just like this year, huh?
When we can’t find a 5th starter and were starting to worry about the 4th.
Dont worry about them getting Dunn or Thome becuase the dont have the money/balls to sign them
Plus my gut says that they will trade at least one or two starters for prospects this off season because they say they cant afford to keep them.

We could hope.
To be frank, this oakland team is not that young offensively.
Barton is going to be a pain for a long time, sweeney’s only 25, and that’s it. you have to look pretty far down on the bench to find the youngsters. Heck even the great Chris Carter is only 23.
Their rotation OTOH is scary. Gonzalez, Cahill, Anderson and Mazzaro are all 24 and under. Dallas Braden is their greybeard at 26. Bailey is 26 and the rest of their bullpen kinda sucks, but bullpens are bullpens.
Mal: Well, quite a lot of fuss. If I didn't know better, I'd think we were dangerous.
OT: I met Chuck Greenberg last night.
It was pretty funny. I was at the Lonestar Beer Booth and I turned around and he was kissing someone’s baby… I started laughing and finished purchasing my Ziegenbock and walked over to introduce myself. He was cool and gladly had a good hand shake…I was afraid of a Hank Hill moment.

Speaking of pissing off other team's fans
We had a "woo"er Twins fan up in our section last night. And I mean, high pitched, annoying, piercing “WOOO!” No variety, no other words, nothing.
It lasted about FOUR innings before the lower rows of my section and the section next to her (she was on the end) started mocking her. By "woo"ing in the same piercing tone for everything good a Rangers player did.
Eventually she cut it out. I sort of feel bad…. yeah, no, I don’t. I didn’t even mention the heinous outfit she was in – short cutoff jean shorts should NEVER be worn by a woman who weighs 250+, not to mention skintight tshirts. The knee high black socks and the pigtails (her hair was really short, too) just capped the whole freakin thing off.

I cancel your vote out
because I like him, especially when he is hitting and keeping MVP kid out of center field.

Other than 3 weeks in June Judy Borbon has been a pile of shit.
April, May, July, August, since the AS Break, last 7 days, last 14 days, last 28 days…it’s the same thing and that doesn’t cover what a dumbass he is on the bases or his vagisil-filled throwing arm.

This discussion is so beaten.
I propose a fanpost for Josey’s hate for Borbon. He can go on his rant and then anytime it gets brought up, the parties can go there and discuss the shit out of it. It’s giving me tired head to the nth degree
Old School Brutha keeps putting Judy in the line-up and he
continues to suck a giant dick.
A .640 OPS is really bad but Judy’s OPS in the second half is more than 150 points below THAT and it’s not like Judy has hit in bad luck, if anything, he’s hit in pretty good luck.
To put him out there v Duensing, Liriano (0 for 6, 4ks, 2 gash like pops to SS) and now Brett Anderson is ridiculously stupid.

No I mean....
Unless you are at the game, have the MLB.TV ability to stream games on the internet, its moved to a night game, or FOX picks it up. You won’t be able to see it.
Thus if they clinch that day, a majority of Ranger fans won’t be able to see it.

I will be at the games from 9/17 to 9/19.
And that is when they will clinch.
You people have seen plenty of Rangers games, you can deal.
If FOX has the daytime rights, it's blacked out on mlb.tv even if FOX doesn't show it.
Just like when the Rangers play on Sunday night when it’s not on ESPN.
Someone will pick it up
Theres no way we clinch our division for the first time in over a decade and its not on tv
I don’t know when FOX has to decide but I would imagine if theres the slightest chance they clinch that day they pick it up. Or if they don’t I bet Greenburg/Ryan petition MLB to either move gametime to be able to show it or allow them to show it locally even during FOX national time
They piss me off...they're annoying little gnats.

I don’t want some cheap one they sell at Buckles or something…I want a legit, high quality belt that I can put a buckle on…with designs, red roses, etc.
Tandy Leather still around?

What’s the LSB opinion of Jim Knox? I’ve seen him in the Dublin a few times and he looks like a little prick. I know a couple of ballpark employees who say I’m wrong, that he’s a really BIG PRICK.
Thoughts?

post where they were telling Rangers fans to “stay classy” for those dudes dancing on Greene’s Hill the other night said Josh’s BALLGAME was only a recent phenomenon and a part of the new bandwagon Ranger effect in the North Texas area.
They’re so silly.

idk if im a people person
it takes me awhile to warm up to ya if im not familiar with ya but ive talked to a bunch of these guys on a basketball forum for the past 5 years or so. we talk about everything and have done a shitload of podcasts together so it helped a little with the familiarity of it
so we got a cheap deal at a casino off the strip and watched the nba draft inbetween our drunken (and token) plights and gambling

It's almost always weird at first and then remarkably cool.
You have to get over the strange part where you know this person despite never shaking their hand before, and then after that it’s cool because you already know this person.
I did have a weird experience with a girl who I had met online when we found out we’d be coworkers and then when we actually met she was, like, quiet and awkward. And then I found out she’d developed a crush on me.
Should have just told me, I wasn’t seeing anyone at the time.

Came into town last minute… Is there any extra capacity?
Actually it’d be rad I could bring my sister too.
I’ll ask in the morning post too.
But yeah, that’d be most excellent.
