  • A's News Clips, Monday, September 19, 2011 Oakland A's Split
    A’s News Clips, Monday, September 19, 2011 Oakland A's split series with Detroit Tigers after 3-0 loss By Joe Stiglich, Oakland Tribune When Kurt Suzuki found himself in a nasty first-half slump, he tried hard to work his way out of it. Perhaps that was the problem. The A's catcher, a workaholic even when things go swimmingly, logs even more hours when the going gets rough. Often that digs a deeper hole. "I think I put too much work in," Suzuki conceded. "I was trying to figure stuff out. I could say it pretty much jumbled my brain up. It really got me away from doing what I do. You've just gotta hit the ball hard, hit the ball into the gaps." Suzuki has found his stride at the plate in recent weeks. But as will be the case with many A's hitters, his overall numbers won't be pretty when the season wraps. Suzuki is batting .241 after Sunday's 3-0 loss to the Detroit Tigers, and it's taken a turnaround for him just to get to that point. He was hitting .215 as late as July 2 but has batted .279 over his past 53 games. He's shown good power with 14 homers, one off his career high from 2009, but he's driven in just 42 runs. That's down from a team high-tying 71 RBIs last season and a career-best 88 in 2009. "All players who are around for a while, they're going to have good years, they'll have average years, and years that aren't so good," said A's manager Bob Melvin, himself a former catcher.
