Open Game Thread: Game 59 - A's vs. Red Sox

PrintThe A's and Joe Blanton with his 5-3 record and 3.81 ERA take on the Boston Red Sox and Curt "The Mouth" Schilling and his 5-2 record and 3.91 ERA. The A's are trying to break out the brooms and sweep the Red Sox.
I mentioned this in the thread last night, but I'm honestly surprised with the A's. I really thought that the A's would at best split the series. But they've stepped up and controlled some of the Red Sox best hitters and shown that their pitching is even better than we thought. I keep waiting for the other shoe to drop with the pitchers on the staff not named Haren and Gaudin (and even then, I didn't think Gaudin was this good). Yet it's nearly 60 games in and that shoe remains firmly on the foot.
The A's send out this lineup to take on Schilling:
Stewart
Ellis
Swisher
Chavez
Cust
Johnson
Scutaro
Kotsay
Kendall
I love the fact that Geren continues to tinker with the lineup, moving the suddenly struggling DJ down and the hotter Ellis remains in the second slot. Perhaps DJ regains his stroke a bit without having the additional pressure of hitting third. It'd also be nice if Cust was starting to regain some of his magic as the league had obviously made an adjustment to him.
The Red Sox try and salvage a game with this lineup:
Lugo
Youkilis
Ortiz
Ramirez
Drew
Lowell
Varitek
Cora
Crisp
I think that the key for Blanton this year has been when he has his curve working and he's throwing it for strikes, he's incredibly effective. When he's missing or hanging his curve, he becomes very hittable. Let's hope that he has it working well today and the A's sweep the Red Sox away.
LET'S GO A'S!!!!!!!!

I don't mean to pick on Blez
because a lot of baseball fans/scouts/analysts/etc often say something to the effect of
When he's missing or hanging his curve, he becomes very hittable
about a lot of pitchers
My question, is there such a thing as an "unhittable" hanging curve? ;-)
As in 'nothing to fall back on'
if the curve is not working, he's toast because the other pitches work off that?
Whereas for some other pitchers, the curve is a nice addition, but not core.
(speculation on my part here.)
Let's go A's!!

Electronic Strike Zone anyone???
Well, yesterday was just another example. It's like parking tickets on a windshield. How many (examples) do you need to finally move your car? (get this part of the game fixed?)
You just have a buzzer in the ump's pocket. If it buzzes, it's a strike (and he'd better call it). If not, it's not a strike.
Dan Iassogna was calling strikes differently every inning. What can be done to remedy that?? Then we get a manager thrown out too. If I want to see arguing, I'll stay at home and pick one. At least I'd be "in the game".
What is more ridiculous than watching argumnets over balls and strikes???????

Hi Everybody!!
LET'S GO OAKLAND!!!
aw, criminy
DGAANG, and who's the only guy who gets the day off? Right, of course: Crosby. (Though if I had to guess, I'd hazard that Cros has awful numbers vs Red Light Curt.)
At least Geren still has K&K 8&9. Though that means we're giving away 1/3 of our PAs.
actually, make that 5/9
I forgot Stewart. And Chavez is 1/17 lifetime vs Schilling.
Trivia question: who, on the A's current active roster, has the most career HRs vs Schilling.
Score??
1-0 Red Sox
2 outs now bottom of the 1st
Actually..
Stewart hit it hard to RF, and Ellis flied out to center. Swisher flied out to right center and Drew and Crisp couldn't decide who would catch it. Drew made the catch over Crisp's head basically.
We got it out of the infield all 3 times... hopefully next time they'll find gaps!
That David Ortiz, guy, I think he might just make
it.
by theblackpearl on Jun 7, 2007 12:53 PM PDT up reply actions
He's OK
I guess.
He slipped past Jack Cust in OBP
..in the last ten games, so it looks like he'll find a home in the Red Sox lineup.

Schilling pitching a no-no so far!
It was close on Stewart's fly ball, though.

Jeesh, no wonder I was confused
I've got gameday up and it shows the A's batting, but the score still says 0-0 and no hits for the Bosox. I thought maybe you were all talking about the "potential" of David Ortiz, not an actual homer.
Trivia question
Who, on the A's current active roster, has the most career HRs vs Schilling.
If your asking, it must be Kendall, all those NL
East battles of the Keystone state.
by theblackpearl on Jun 7, 2007 1:00 PM PDT up reply actions
He also
went 5/10 with two doubles off of Schilling last year.
Trade him to the Yankees!
< pulls pet trade out of mothballs >
yup: 3
Kendall actually has impressive career numbers vs Schilling ... with the bulk of them accumulated, of course, back when he could actually swing the bat unlike a 12-year-old girl.
I can't believe
they've only done 20 picks in the draft so far.
I know...

I like it...
Makes it a lot more interesting to actually hear about each guy and see highlights. Much more interesting then when they fly through.
Forget the draft
instead, write MLB and complain about
(1) April games in Cleveland, where it's snowing, while West Coast teams are "on the road" instead of hosting games in decent weather.
(2) World Series delayed until November, and mid-week, all to satisfy the NFL and television. Talk about tail wagging the dog.
The schedule for all of MLB is NOT created by a computer, as so many people think. It is created by a husband-and-wife team who KNOW NOTHING about baseball!! All they seem to know, is that you must avoid same-city teams having home and home games...
Otherwise, they know NOTHING!!!!

Define "important"
Maybe if MLB actually showed some "backbone" and confidence they could outdraw a singing contest for unknowns, the ratings would follow.
Can't we have SOMETHING in this country not "media and money" dictated ??

actually....
The Husband and Wife did it up till a few years ago, and they did a decent job.
Then they switched to a computerized system. Its been since then that the schedule has been fucked...
Are you sure?? I heard they
did it, and are still doing it.
You may know more on this than me. Please give me a link where I can read about the switch to a computer.

A sampler from those nice people
at Sons of Sam Horn(last night):
"I hate this team."
"Anybody want to take a shit in a FedEx box and send it to Dan Iassogna? If you have hepatitis A, that's even better."
"Schilling needs to right this f**** ship tomorrow.
" --And he can start by planting a fastball in Mark Ellis's ribs. Lean into that, you little shit."
"Please tell me that we're not going to look back at Abreu's catch off Pedroia as the turning point of the season."
"We're going to blow the entire large lead we've built up, aren't we?"

by One won lost won on Jun 7, 2007 1:20 PM PDT up reply actions
there is a systematic bias in this game
up to this point. i dont mind how big or small or up or down the strike zone as long as it is consistent for both sides because the calls even out in the end. that's not true so far. hopefully, the ump gets the cue.
by oak1 on Jun 7, 2007 1:23 PM PDT up reply actions
But how about the batter?
Here's what dawned on me with that comment:
"The Lost AB"
So sixty games through the season, you've only batted for yourself (obviously!) and you know, better than any individual, or group, what's been called a strike on you.
After 100+ ABs where that same pitch has been called a "ball" FOR YOU, some "Dan Imanasshole" rings you up strike three. First time! Now you've lost an AB and a walk, because.... whose fault? YOURS?? The batter?? So WHAT if that's what the guy's been calling all game?? You had to "give up an AB" for no good reason!
This is the fundamental benefit of an electronic strike zone. A player can actually benefit from having a good eye, and build on experience. If subject to an ump who cannot see because of a big catcher, etc., it's basically a roll of the dice.
by One won lost won on Jun 8, 2007 1:36 PM PDT up reply actions
Are you getting video or depending on radio?
I heard A's announcers says Blanton was giving the ump somes stares, but didn't mention arguing.
i'm watching the video on NESN
Blanton was definitely squeezed the first 3 innings.
and now he's starting throwing the ball down the middle of the plate to compensate. luckily he didnt get hurt in the 4th but there were a couple of good swings by the sox hitters.

Says Baseball America:
Simmons was a high school teammate of San Diego's Josh Romanski, a sophomore lefty and the Toreros' No. 2 starter. Simmons has been UC Riverside's ace since his freshman season in 2005, when he won at Oregon State but was academically ineligible at midseason. He followed a good sophomore season by dominating the Cape Cod League last summer, posting a 1.18 ERA. Simmons has worn the label of ace even more comfortably as a junior, winning a much-hyped duel with Cal State Fullerton rival Wes Roemer in late April, when he pumped up his fastball to 93 mph. Usually, Simmons sits at 89-90 mph, but he commands the fastball better than anyone else in college baseball in 2007. Scouts give him 60 or even 70 grades (on the 20-80 scale) for his command. He pitches off the fastball, both a sinking two-seamer and firmer four-seamer, and works all quadrants of the strike zone. Some scouts don't like his secondary pitches as anything but fringe-average, but his slider and particularly his changeup find some takers. His slow curveball needs significant improvement. His toughness and above-average makeup endear him to all scouts. Simmons will go as high in the draft--and as far as a pro--as his fastball command takes him.
Says BP
Gonna move quickly, but never going to be anything more than a three or four....The A's like California collegians almost like the Braves like Georgians, and Simmons is a real good arm. He's Jason Windsor with better stuff, better command, and less tear on his arm. This is an Oakland A's type of player.
They need to spend some money sometimes. They
should have taken a flier on Porcello.

Kendall will get his 4th HR
next inning.
(maybe...probably not. Heck, I said Ellis could complete the cycle in the 10th and it worked...)
That would be so awesome.
As long as Blanton keeps pitching like this, the
A's are still one swing away, even if it is the only hit if the game, if it comes after a walk

I clearly saw the top edge of the strike zone move up and down. Am I hallucinating?

Ortiz bunted, Kendall fielded it

Apparently, Papi was bunting!
David Ortiz was bunting with the shift on.
They didn't get Youkalis at 2nd, and Youkalis sprinted for the uncovered 3rd base. Scutaro took the throw, and I think somehow Chavez got back in it, and applied the tag? Or did Scutaro?
Anyway, now two out, Ortiz at first, pitching change, Colby Lewis in.

I think Schilling
...he is an "unfavorite", and make it a double, any "baseball mercenary" playing for the "Rent Sox".

Even if he can't run
can't Milton Bradley hit???
He's gotta be more formidable than Kotsay or Kendall???

I heard he was blasting the ball in BP
on Wednesday. Deep shots.
And now, he can't pinch-hit?
...for someone hitting .194 and ONE HOME RUN in about 600 games?????????
