    Harden returns for A's tonight...

    Guy is usually the nuts when he comes back from DL/Time off...

    Could easily see this guy striking out 8 through five innings and only giving up a hit or two..

    He struck out like 13 in about 8 minor league innings to get ready for his return..

    No question he will be back on the shelf soon, but thinking we might see a few good starts out of this guy starting tonight...

    Perfect day in the Bay Area today (Hitting Weather for sure)

    Gonna take a chance and go with A's First Five Innings...

    Good Luck..

    He's only 29. Hard to think he's done. I'm with iifold....I think he cruises. Probably get hurt if he pitches into the 6th or 7th though.

    Hard to believe he's only got 55 career wins.

    Think he is on a pitchcount of about 90 tonight..

    which could be 4 innings for this guy..

    Oakland cannot score with a trunk full of money and a car full of hookers.

    Didn't know Harden still played, though I am sure it won't be for long.

    Even pitching a shutout, his pitch count would be far too high to go that deep into a game. Guy has two complete games in his career.

    Harden is lights out at the MAC Coliseum.. Look at his career numbers.. Was untouchable when with the A's (And Healthy). Also remember him shoving it up their corn holes when he came back to pitch here... Where you from Oakland Smokin

    Totally agree. D-Backs take this one..........The normal play is on the home team over the weekend, but the Diamondbacks should have the clear edge in Friday nights matchup against the A's. Arizona starter Josh Collmenter has struggled in his last three starts, but if there is an offense to face to get back on track, its the Athletics. The A's are averaging just 3.5 runs a game this season and just 3.2 against right-handed starters. Arizona on the other hand is averaging 4.5 runs a game this season, and will only benefit from having an extra bat in the lineup playing in the AL. Oakland will send Rich Harden to the mound to make his first start of the season, and rarely will a pitcher just come out and throw like he has in the past after such a long layoff.

    Got lucky and cashed first five,

    Harden's velocity is nothing compared to what it once was.. but you can't complain with 1 ER, 2 Hits, and 0 Walks through 5 innings...
