Evan Grant on the catching situation
For those of you who don't get what the Rangers are doing with the catching situation...Evan Grant agrees... He suggests Adam Melhuse should have gone on the 60 day d.l., because it sends the wrong message to potential 6 year free agents to flat release an injured player, and called up Max Ramirez...
Saturday morning stuff
Rangers win, Mavs win, Stars win...it was a good night last night. Even if the Rangers win was still a little bit...disjointed. Richard Durrett says the game was preceded by a players-only meeting, with the emphasis on forgetting what had happened in the first 23 games and starting fresh. ...
Good news and bad news
Richard Durrett with some good news and some bad news... Good news...Salty is up for good, and Adam Melhuse will be let go. Bad news...Brandon McCarthy has had a setback, and won't start throwing until the ASB, at the earliest. Ugh.
Saltalamacchia will be active tonight
Jarrod Saltalamacchia is in D/FW and will be active for tonight's game, per Jon Daniels (via the S-T). No corresponding move yet to clear a spot on the 25 man for him, but my guess is that Luis Mendoza goes to the d.l., and they wait a day or two to see how Adam Melhuse is. If he's only going to...
Melhuse makes the team, Salty to AAA
T.R. Sullivan reports that Adam Melhuse has made the Rangers roster as the backup catcher, and Jarrod Saltalamacchia is heading for AAA. I think the writing has been on the wall on this for a while now. Sullivan also says the only roster issues unresolved are who the last two relievers will be...
ANtics Episode 3.16: Summer Surge
For some reason, the A's of the last few seasons have always saved their best efforts until after May was over. With that ugly month behind us, the team has surged forward, taking 3 of 4 from the challenging Red Sox and SWEEPING the Giants. It's a story we've seen before... Click to See Larger...
Melhuse, You Got It Only Half Right...
Look out everyone, the A's have a new leading home run hitter. After seeing his lengthy locks shorn in the most recent homestand, I was concerned that Nick Swisher would have seen the source of his power drained away with every scissor snip. But we've learned that when all else fails, a quick visit...
ANtics Episode 3.11: Lineup Shuffle
They say sometimes you can't tell the players without a program. In the case of the A's the last few weeks, I doubt even the program gets it right. Exit Kielty. Enter Putnam. Exit Swisher. Enter Langerhans. Exit Langerhans. Enter Snelling (DOYLE!). Exit Piazza. Enter Cust. Or something like that....
ANtics Episode 3.09: A Yankee Trilogy
Wow! What a series! 3 games, 33 innings, 2 walk-off wins by the A's, and the continued heroics of a player known only as VMC. After an extended sabbatical, Joe Blanton and Adam Melhuse return to critique the three part series against the Yankees in the A's "This Week at the Movies". Click to See...
