  1. One thing that really irritated me yesterday watching Iannetta catch is when Bedrosian was pitching he looks like was gonna get out of it if it wasn't for Iannetta dropping a foul tip ball out of his mitt. The dude had it and dropped the freaking ball. Stuff like that and of course his "stabbing" at pitches. It's the little things like that that makes a huge difference.

  2. Well said Doc, agree 100% with what you said. I wish just a handful of our hitters had the same approach as those guys. Amazing that Oakland is doing what there doing with the payroll they have. Hats off to them. Dipoto needs to build our farm teams in the A's philosophy.

  3. I see we got some riveting discussion going on here. But my two cents are we should sign Garza especially at this 4 year 55 million deal if possible. What we need are consistent quality starts. And if you have a career 3.80 ERA thats pretty good these days. Add in Skaggs and Santiago potential and I think we would be in contention. The key here is quality starts are Garza would give us this.

  4. It's really hard to believe that we are in such deep trouble regarding the pitching situation, but we really are. It's gonna be really hard to trade for a pitcher who can actually be useful to us. Not many teams trade those types of guys. So we are gonna have to hit the jackpot and get really lucky that a pitcher who isn't that sought after turns into gold for us. I still think we should go all out and get Tanaka regardless of price.

  5. he struck out that ichiro look-a-like a couple of times.

    sign him and put him in the capable hands of butcher. he'll be 7-16 with an era of 5.37 before you know it.

    Lol..Sadly I agree. Our coaches seem to hurt our players more than they help them. Oh well

  6. Well said everyone. Just wanted to give my 2 cents on this guy. I cannot stress enough how important it is to have players like this guy who shows a high IQ batting approach. He puts himself in good hitting counts by working the pitchers. Good things will happen when you do this. Guys like Aybar, Howie, Trumbo, Hamilton don't do these things. Which is why we struggle to to score runs. We need more players like Calhoun on our team.
