Open Thread: Game 29 - A's at Tampa Bay

PrintYou ever listen to KYCY-Billy's "Super Sluggers Who Can't Hit .270"? It's my personal favorite.
Bill Beane and David Forst were a duo known as "Moneyballers" when they drafted this Swisheresque pop bubblegum favorite from June of 2002, who reached out and hit #5 as KYCY-Billy's "Super Sluggers Who Can't Hit .270" continued ...
Swisher tries to keep shutting up the Tampa Bay Hecklers, and Joe Kennedy tries to shut down the D-Rays. And a Poetic Interlude after the jump.
[Note: still no on-field Jack Cust sightings scheduled. Swisher apparently not in field-ready shape, DH'ing today.]
A's
Stewart LF
Ellis 2B
Chavez 3B
Swisher DH
Johnson 1B
Crosby SS
Buck RF
Kendall C
Snelling CF
Tampa Bay
Baldelli DH
Dukes CF
Crawford LF
Wigginton 3B
Upton 2B
Young RF
Cantu 1B
Navarro C
Harris SS
On the mound for the A's, Joe Kennedy. For Tampa Bay, Scott Kazmir.
Gameday Poetic-Cinematic Interlude
"Stuck on the DL with You," by Swisher's Wheels
[Original here. A clip of Larry Davis practicing his training skills on an Athletic to the song is here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=awMQC...
Well I don't know why I brought a glove tonight,
I got the feeling that something ain't right,
I'm so scared in case I fall on my derriere,
And I'm wondering how I'll get down the stairs,
Klown to the left outfield,
Bradley to the right, here I am,
Stuck on the DL with you.
Yes I'm stuck on the DL with you,
And I'm wondering what it is I should do,
It's so hard to keep this smile from my face,
Losing control, yeah, I'm all over the place,
Klown to the left outfield, Bradley to the right,
Here I am, stuck on the DL with you.
Well you started out with injuries,
And you're proud that you're a self made man,
And your friends, they all go crawlin',
Breakin' their own backs and say,
Please.... Please.....
Trying to make some sense of it all,
But I can see that it makes no sense at all,
Is it cool to go to sleep on the floor,
'Cause I don't think that I can take anymore
Klown to the left outfield, Bradley to the right,
Here I am, stuck on the DL with you.
Well you started out with injuries,
And you're proud that you're a self made man,
And your friends, they all go crawlin',
Breakin' their own backs and say,
Please.... Please.....
Well I don't know why I brought a glove tonight,

Bradley to the right, here I am,
Stuck on the DL with you,
Yes I'm stuck in the middle with you,
Stuck in the middle with you.

Fuck the TV schedule.

For anyone else watching this on MLBtv...
Does it seem like they are using some kind of local cable community access show film crew? The camera is bouncing all over the place, they sometimes forget to show the batter when when the ball is pitched, etc. Its bush league.
not to break the cardinal rule
of not replying to your own post, but this camera-work is terrible. They aren't showing wear the hit is going until after its fielded. what the hell.
by ClutchSteinbach on May 5, 2007 4:33 PM PDT up reply actions
yeah its horrible
they can't follow the ball in play.. I especially hate the view of the batter while he's batting, can't see if its a strike or not..
Fosse and Korrach were just complaining about it too..
Crosby should hyphenate
AHHH NICO
I must agree with you. Bo CRO looks and has looked very rusty this year.

The Double Pl-A's
if Kendall isn't hitting above the Mendoza line
by the all-star break do the A's bring up Kurt?
Honestly
Is there a chance Suzuki could be coming up soon...?
by Chavinator on May 5, 2007 4:36 PM PDT reply actions
statistics
does anyone have any statistics on how many double plays the A's have hit into in comparison to the rest of the league, and how many of them are were by kendall??
kendall must die
when could we bring up suzuki without starting his clock or whatever?
on that same day, we need to bring him up to be our catcher, kendall can be the backup, melhuse can back up closser in sacto.
First chance Kendall gets...
he inflicts as much pain as humanly possible on the Oakland Athletics.

If we didn't suck in May, we couldn't streak

No shame in that AB. No runs, either.

If Crosby gets angry at the plate
will you say there's no shame in the AB? Just curious.
Doyle has scored in 50% of his ABs with A's,
Kendal in 5%. Sample size is a problem, yes, but so is the minute size of Kendall's talent.

I've got a catcher's mitt
too bad women not allowed in mlb
so...
at what point to you finally say, ok Kendall, it's over. We're bringing up Suzuki. I mean, that slump he's been in since the beginning of the year is starting to look like what we're gonna get. When can we finally say that a slump is just a player over the hill?
at least this is the last year of his contract.
by jayefbe on May 5, 2007 5:17 PM PDT reply actions
can we trade for a better
medical staff and a hitting coach?
I'd give some slack to the hitting coach....
But the trainers...We certainly couldn't do much worse than what we have.
by opiewannabe on May 5, 2007 5:21 PM PDT up reply actions
here's the plan
Kendall plays every day, thus gets injured, goes on DL. Then they can bring up other catchers with no loss of face.
They have been trying to speed it along by keeping him from the medical staff, but that is bound to backfire.
Note/Plea to Geren: please don't wearout our pen
.. if Kennedy's pitch count stays low enough and he continues to pitch this well ..

Kennedy has only thrown 44 pitches in 4 innings

by Randy Bell on May 5, 2007 5:27 PM PDT reply actions
apparently
this kazmir guy is not so bad?
Isn't he supposed to be the best DRays pitcher?
Why is Chavez so bad?
He was supposed to be a superstar. He's had a few injuries, but he hasn't improved one iota at the plate. Did the A's just get unlucky here? Why is it impossible for Chavez to improve his game?
hard to improve on defense but ..
I assume you mean his hitting ..
by Randy Bell on May 5, 2007 5:29 PM PDT up reply actions
Your lack of faith, inverse to that of children
who clap to revive Tinkerbell, has killed him.
I love Chavey defense......
He is a five or six hitter not 3 or 4
by opiewannabe on May 5, 2007 5:31 PM PDT up reply actions
I had faith.
For several years. It was maybe '05 or '06 when I realized that faith in Chavez is obviously misplaced - much like how Chavez batting third in the lineup is misplaced. I agree with opiewannabe, he's a #6 hitter, but seeing him at #3 reminds me of how little he has advanced as a hitter since about 2000 - in fact, he's regressed. Disappointing.

No reason not to send him back out in the 6th.

In 6 starts, Kazmir has thrown between 102 &114

The ONLY reason I can see to keep Kendall
on the team and playing regularly, is because he 'handles the staff well'. That is to say, he is partially responsible for the Starting staff pitching in the 2's... then again, he is thus equally responsible for the bullpen meltdown, so go figure.
Is Suzuki ready yet?
I wonder if we can trade for Salty and have a catching platoon of Salty and Suzu.

when there are more than five games going on at once?
Crap
Just tuned in. Not shocked that I saw a homer off Kennedy. The 1-1 nailbiter was less expected.
Monkeyball, I like your song. Kinda reminds me of Tarantino. Sorta like this picture does.
not so much a nailbiter
Kennedy has been dominant (supprisingly), and the offense has got on base a lot, but are doing their usual choke job.
Hmm, the pic previewed but isn't here.
You just knew the A's
were going to have to score more than 1 run to win this thing.
if JoKe gets out of this inning ..

on the bright side?
Doyle since joining the A's:
2-5 with 2 Walks
Thats a .400/.600/.400 if I am not mistaken.
Kennedy
84 pitches after 7 innings. I let him go back out to start the 8th. Get the bullpen stretched in case he gets into trouble.
Keep Kennedy in
either Navarro or Harris gets on then make sure Calero or Duke is ready to face Dukes.
Whatev...
Joe K has already won this game. 7 innings 1ER against the 3rd best hitting team right now, wow!
1 down...
Can you please get at least one hit tonite Chavvy? Please don't pop out...
I really hate May Chavvy...
you don't want to know what tosk means

there will be multiple HRs this inning
WE ARE DOOMED!!!!!!!
This guy's name is RYU?!
His scouting report says that he throws a splitter, cut fastball, + change, and the ever illusive HHHHHHHHHAAAAAALLLLLLUUUKKKINNNN!!!!!!! Just wait until he throws his tiger uppercut. I don't understand why they didn't start this guy! He appears unbeatable!

I disagree with this move
Kennedy should have started the 8th inning.

No, a cutter that ended up middle-in, just above

Don't forget the strike outs
Kazmir had 8 K's in 6 IP. That usually limits the damage.
Hey!! We still got a chance to win!
If we can hold them scoreless until....
...the 16th or so, we should accidentally get a run across.

At this point, I think the A's
I think Chavvy homers..
and tells all the naysayers off!
That Devil Ray Mascot...
...must be the ugliest in the bigs.
Who the hell designed that thing?
In fact, who the hell thought this entire franchise was a sensible idea?

Um, that's Blanton
LOL
...but I'm pretty sure there's an easy way to tell them apart: the Rays' mascot gets better run support.

Only one Street could win today...
and he's a horse.
Why???
If Street can ever get out of this fucking inning he should have enough to pitch the 10th.
He's used Duke and Embree
I'd start Street in the 10th and get Marshall warmed up.
phew... Street is killing me...
Cantu was batting .100
whew, we got out of it ...
Cantu is out of the game because pinch run for him ..

and Josh Paul in to catch - Navarro out
by Randy Bell on May 5, 2007 7:01 PM PDT up reply actions
that would have been on Blooper reels...
for years to come, especially if it got stuck in his hair...
Alrite! Extras! Time to win this shiznit!
