Emil Brown

I'm starting to get the feeling that this years "Watasik" whipping boy is going to be Emil Brown. Given that he could very well only be a .700 ops corner outfielder, and given that CarGon is breathing down his neck, I get the feeling that every single strike out or LOB he has will have calls for his DFA.

Gotta love Gameday

Or maybe the rules in Japan are different... but according to Gameday, Brown walked after working the count to 6 balls and 1 strike.

No doubt

Any guy with 7 balls deserves to walk.

Yeah

he'd definitely need a pinch runner.

Not really - with the average life span

only 30 or so years, you'd run out of players pretty fast.

That's not the worst of it

Foul balls (then called foul hits) are NOT counted as strikes! And you don't get a base if you're hit by a pitch; it's just a ball.

Bad footwork by DJ.

by WaddellCanseco on Mar 22, 2008 10:47 PM PDT reply actions  

Grounder to SS, Donnie Murphy's throw...

is wide...Dan Johnson can't keep his foot on the bag...so it's ruled a hit. Now I'm just curious what IS an error. It's 10-2 ... If there's a one-hopper back to the mound, Braden should turn and fling it into the right field bleachers - just see how they score it.

Why is he not playing 1B? Did I miss something, or is it just because we're up 8 runs?

Pretty much everybody has been replaced at this point.

But in a few years we'd all go, remember that time a guy died in the dugout in Japan? And then we'd laugh for awhile, and then there'd be an awkward silence.

like half the A's players from last year changed their number, and half the new players took numbers of old players.
