This is a discussion on 4/7/05: Haren vs. Bedard within the Oakland Athletics forum at Strike 3 Forums; yep and Haren has pitched pretty well against that lineup....
Haren is a fiesty guy man. I have seen him animated tonight. he "beaned" Sosa. Then later on in the game I saw him cussing at Tejada after he apparently got pissed from a groundout. i like Haren's spirit and drive to play hard right now.
Man I feel so sorry for Kline. He really had guys hitting him, but he also had absolutely zero back. the defense completely sucked in that inning for the Orioles.
Yeah, Kline's usually a very dependable lefty arm in the bullpen. I was really hoping the Yankees signed him in the offseason but it was a nice pickup by Baltimore. That play by Roberts was inexplicable though.
Harden is my new favorite player...I also like how he wears 24. He had a great outing today for his first start. Hope to see more from him...PS Beane is the master.
Team's looking good so far...especially the pen which was an Achilles' heel last season
Player of the Game goes to Haren. Pitched very well and got some retalitation for the nonsense that transpired yesterday. Nice clutch homer by Byrnes too.
