is anyone else watching the a's game?

[Leiter Fan]

Does anyone know why Lilly was pitching in relief? Has he lost his spot in the rotation? if so, to whom?

[pkarr5000]

i dont think he lost his spot, maybe it was lefty vs. lefty, i didnt watch the game

[GSes]

They skipped his spot in rotation so Lilly came in because his next start isnt till Saturday.

[pkarr5000]

overall the start wasnt that bad but i was expecting so much more from harden. i know his whip but does anyone know his game era?

[Lofunzo]

3.00. 2 runs in 6 innings. Not bad but not what I expected either.

[GSes]

wow, guys he won and gave up 2 runs while striking out 6. Great fantasy stats, stop crying.

gosh

thats not "great fantasy stats" i dont know about you, but im in the heat of a race, and i need better numbers especially when its against a team that is literally worst than a high school baseball team. i have high standards for pitchers opposing the tigers, especially from a future ace, 2 runs 6 ip, against the marlins, sure thats good, against the royals, wow, nice job, but against the frickin tigers, i dont think so, he could have done better.

Agreed. Those are good numbers. Relax.

Yes, I understand that some people need better numbers right now, but Harden is a rookie. He is going to have ups and downs. If this is a down, I'll gladly take it.

This is only the start of a fabulous career for Harden. I just can't wait for future years to see just what this kid can do. I keep on hearing that he has faced very poor teams so far, and yes he has, but I can't wait for those more experienced clubs as well, I think that Harden will shine there as well, but that is just one man's opinion.
