This is a discussion on Tuesday 6/13 - Thursday 6/15 Mariners @ A's within the Oakland Athletics forum at Strike 3 Forums; Johnson with a leadoff double....
No but he was running pretty slowly and ackwardly; he was getting high fives in the dugout and I think it's just the same bad wheel he's been dealing with. I'd like to get far enough over .500 to give him a few days; that and we need Chavez to heat up to do that IMO.
when isn't he running slow and awkwardly? And Chavez is having some issues with that hamstring and his lower back that have been slowing...he's actually played through a lot of nagging little injuries that probably would have shelved other guys.
yea...and he had and still has I guess the shoulder issue, but it doesn't seem to be as bad this year...
also, there was some unofficial "report" on baseball prospectus that Harden would need TJ surgery...the A's vehemently denied the report...who knows...if he can't come back at all this year, then I don't think we'd go far in the playoffs.
Well I'll worry about the playoffs if and when we get there but it is a scary thought without Harden. 7-1 A's so I think you're safe to catch some sleep.
