Open Thread: D-Rays vs. Angels

by baseballnut020 on Aug 6, 2005 7:26 PM PDT Comment 131 comments

Alright, louismg did this last night so I figured I would do it tonight. With our blowout of the Royals tonight, we're back within 1/2 of the Halos and have pushed our lead to 4 games over the Yanks in the WC. With a D-Rays win this evening we'll have a share of the AL West lead for the first time in... awhile.

Lineups:

Tampa Bay:

Gathright
Crawford
Lugo
Cantu
Huff
Lee
Gomes
Hall
Gonzalez

SP: Hendrickson

Orange County:

Figgins
Cabrera
Rivera
Guerrero
Anderson
B. Molina
Kotchman
J. Molina
Kennedy

SP: Bootcheck

GO D-RAYS! We want a share of 1st TONIGHT!!!

Can't watch the A's or Rivercats unless it's a national telecast or when the A's play the Angels.

Glad to help

I'm on the other side of the country, so I'm always on the lookout for chances to catch the boys. :)

Ooo -- Rollie Fingers in the booth in the fourth! All the more delightful. I hope they talk about how Huston just surpassed his A's record for saves in a rookie season. I would imagine so, since Huston saved some games in the PCL championship for the River Cats last year.

Conor Jackson just his his 1st major league home run. In 6 ML games, he's 4-12 with a homer, double, 2 RBI and 1/0 BB/K. Boy would he look good in an A's uni.

Funny thing about tonight's RC battery

They were traded for each other earlier this year. But Gregorio had some pre-existing injury, so the trade was voided and the A's took Ziegler back. Then some weeks later, the A's acquired Gregorio again for cash, and here they are tonight. Baseball is odd sometimes.

by sarajune13 on Aug 6, 2005 8:18 PM PDT reply actions 0 recs

Man

I wonder whether Billy Beane and Bill Stoneman made those deals himself or whether they relegated that to their respective assistants.

by OaktownTribesman on Aug 6, 2005 8:24 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs

It was weird

I was puzzled because the original trade happened right around when Rheinecker, Meyer, and Harden all went down with injuries. I wonder if that had something to do with the trade being rescinded...but I'm kinda surprised the Angels gave the A's the man they wanted in the end.

by sarajune13 on Aug 6, 2005 8:37 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs

It seems

Like it's the kind of deal Beane would do while sitting on the john or out golfing. Merely an afterthought.

Is that head-to-head? If so, that's 3-3, right? Is the second tiebreaker home record or record against division?

Andre Ethier: The One.

Actually...

They did use a tie-breaker in 2001 for the NL Central. St Louis and Houston finished tied for first with 93-69 records. However, they did not play a one-game playoff for the title because had they played it, the loser would have gotten the wild card anyway. So, they used a head-to-head tiebreaker and gave the Cardinals the better position in the playoffs.

Maybe, just maybe,

tonight is the night for a 1st place tie! (knock on wood) Hopefully the Rays can keep this lead...

How 'bout we root for the Twins/Tribe to

overtake the Angels and Yanks and win the WC. We win the WC with third best record overall. And we play Chicago.

here's the plan

twins/tribe take the WC, play us in the first round, since we'll have the second best record by the end of the season. We then get the White Sox in the ALCS. And, uh, the Padres in the Series.

Darn!

The wild card would have given us a better matchup in the first round. Doesn't matter cause we'll make it to the WS anyways.

I was distracted for a while and forgot that I hadn't checked the Angels score-- but thank you Tampa Bay, first place feels GREAT! Ahhhh. I like the view from the top. :D
