71 Pitches so far

If this was prison I would shank you.

he's got to be up over 70.

We need him to get into the 7th. Then Gaudin, then Marmol.

He could, but he'd rather do it this way.

I can’t say enough good things about Harden right now. And he’s really a contrast with Z – no emotions, not really interested in what he’s doing at the plate… one isn’t necessarily better than the other, but they’re very different stylistically.

The other thing I keep noticing is how YOUNG Harden is. He could be a Cub for a long, long time.

I has a blog. | Ask a sabermagician!

by cwyers on Jul 26, 2008 1:38 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

He is young.

Like I’ve said from the get-go, we could end up pulling off the deal of the century, or the deal that “could of been”.

He’s one hell of a pitcher. I don’t have a problem with the strikeouts, but I the walks is what stopped him from getting into the 6th and 7th innings.

Personally, Harden is my favorite pitcher on the staff. No offense to Z, but I think Harden is just more exciting to watch. We are so fortunate to have 2 #1 pitchers.

From an A's fan perspective - It is cool to see people recognize that Harden's so young

No one in A’s-land EVER refers to Richie as young. But he IS!

When I looked up his age and saw that he’s 26, I was shocked. A’s fandom acts like he’s 31…

wow too much good stuff this early! Love Harden

semi-intentional walk?

He walked Ramirez to bring Herminda up

Just so he could hit him.

He wanted to "hit" him with a change up?

If you are going to put the tying run in scoring position by hitting someone..you better use your fast ball and make it count

he's using the invisible

walk and THEN a HBP.

Not GOOD. I know he’s a great pitcher, but if he can’t go long for us…

Actually

Marshall is probably the bullpen pitcher I’m most relaxed about.
