Open Thread: Game 8 - A's at Minnesota (cont.)
A's down 7-6 after Chavy's second home run of the evening. Fatherhood must be agreeing with him. Or Gerald Perry. Or perhaps Frank Thomas hitting behind him. Whatever it is, it's beautiful.
LET'S GO A'S!!!!!!!

I don't think it's Thomas.
I think the threat of him
Chavez also looks better at the plate...he looks like he has a clue up there. In other years it took at least a month for him to look comfortable up there.
I'll say it again...

What was Saarloos jawing with the ump about?
by GreenNGoldSooner on Apr 11, 2006 7:41 PM PDT reply actions
Could be interesting in the 9th
Kiko with the K!
Gamecast still has Saarloos in an Astros cap...
For such a good service they're really incompetent with the photos.

Good job, Cordero, I mean, Calero
Yes!
(I can't believe I have to start dinner now. Can't it wait until after the game?)
Let's ask Macha why he waits so long to bring on
The same thing happened in the first game with Zito. Patience is not rewarded in this game...unless you have a weak bullpen, there is no excuse for waiting so long.
By the time they get in, the hitters have too big a hole to dig out of.
well it's the 1st game of the series
our bullpen was rested though. there was no reason

You know See-Ball, Hit-Ball. Hit ball over fence get to sit back down and rest for a few blessed minutes.

No way we should have waited so long to go to the pen.
by GreenNGoldSooner on Apr 11, 2006 7:55 PM PDT reply actions
What a fun game.
even that we lost.

lost to seattle 1st game. won series
by Mr Athletics on Apr 11, 2006 7:55 PM PDT reply actions
Except in the playoffs!
by Coach Cleats on Apr 11, 2006 7:58 PM PDT up reply actions
Oh well
Ah well.
anyone else tired of being OWNED by the twins
we won the season series last year
As to the 2002 playoffs, well that's something we'll never forget.
Wow.
If you had told me last year that Tony Batista would beat the A's with a three run homer, I would have looked at you funny. But it sure is nice to see Chavez and Crosby put together good offensive games.
yeah
Perfectly good AB by Crosby.
You guys who are railing on Macha: Come on! The least impact a manager has on a game is those days when his starter gets roughed up.
The problem tonight? Throwing too many pitches down the middle to a team that had walked 12 times in 6 games, to guys like Tony Batista. Not Ken Macha's fault, that's for sure.
Exactly
by paige20 on Apr 11, 2006 8:01 PM PDT up reply actions
wel, wellll, who are we to blame?
You.
Okay, I will go to the closet
Blame Danny Haren,
sure, why let a little thing like costing us
JUST KIDDING = ) smiles, sunshine, unicorns
I'm glad Macha stuck with
This may be unfair
by nycfan @ Athletics Nation on Apr 11, 2006 8:06 PM PDT up reply actions
Totally fair.
Agree--
Kotsay is quietly awesome
