Open Game Thread - Game 12: A's vs. Indians

Oakland Athletics at Cleveland Indians, Apr 12, 2008 4:05 PM PDT


On what promises to be a soggy, sloppy day in the Mistake by the Lake, the Green and Gold hope to keep the Doubles Train rolling through it's tour of the Midwest tonight with their 5th consecutive win.  Lenny "I guess you can call me Pecs" DiNardo goes up against Fausto "I like my option years by the bushel" Carmona. Expect a game chock-full of boring ground-ball outs and rally-killing double plays as over their careers Lenny and Fausto have a combined 62% groundball rate...so this one could be a snoozer.

Usually, extreme sinker-ballers have great success against the A's, but this isn't the case with Fausto. In 4 starts against the A's, Carmona has a 5.73 ERA in 22 innings pitched, with a less-than-stellar 18-12 strikeout/walk ratio. Fausto has already had problems with control early this season, so look for the A's to be extra patient in the early going against him, hoping to grab some early offense for the second night in a row. Also, look for the lineup to be lefty-heavy (including Travis "I'll say I have shin-splints to avoid facing Sabathia" Buck), since lefties have batted a combined 73 points higher against him in terms of OPS over his career.

As for Pecs, he's got some decent career stats against the Tribe: in 12.1 innings pitched, he's got a 3.75 ERA and a typically DiNardian 6-5 strikeout-to-talk ratio. Not great numbers, but just about right for the swingman who should give the A's a decent chance of winning tonight.

As for the offense, let's hope a second straight helping of Cleveland pitching can awaken Jack "Trail of Tears" Cust, who's batting a putrid .118 on the season, but who sports a career line of 17-for-47 against the Tribe (.347 batting average), with an unheard-of slugging in the .850 range and 7 homers to along with three doubles.

The chance of rain tonight is 50%, so this could all be moot, but if the game begins as planned, let's hope the A's can jump out to another big lead and get 5 innings of quick work from Pecs to get this one in the bag before Jacobs Field gets washed away into Lake Erie!

So

I see that Taj "I like to give out long nicknames" Adib gave out some nicknames to the team. Hopefully we win tonight. And hit a home run.

so true

I just love seeing the bases loaded GIDP / 0 outs scoring one run. That is what makes it all worthwhile.

Rain, rain, go away, Come again another day.

Rain, rain, go away.
Come again some other day.
Little Oakland wants to play,
In the meadow by the hay.

Rain, rain, go to Spain,
Never show your face again.

Rain, rain, pour down,
But not a drop on Cleveland town.

Rain on the green grass,
and rain on the tree,
And rain on the housetop,
but not on me.

Rain, rain, go away,
Come again on washing day.

Rain, rain, go to Germany,
And remain there permanently.

Rain, rain, go away,
Come on Martha's wedding day.

Rain, rain, go away,
Come again another day,
If you don't, I will say,
Rain, rain go away.

Rain, rain, go away,
Come again some other day,
We want to go outside and play,
Come again some other day.

Rain, rain, go away,
Come again some other day,
If you don't, I don't care,
I'll pull down your underwear!

Go A's!!

I heard our own 67marquez

on Marty Lurie's show earlier, talking about his book. At the end of the interview, Don mentioned that AN was raising money for Ken Korach's charity and pledged a dollar per book sold from now on (in addition to what he already pledged). Very cool, and I hope it brings a few more contributors to the effort.

Carlos Gonzalez report

Wasn't sure were to post this so I'll just do it here. Went to the Rivercat home opener last night. First time I've ever laid out $90 for minor league tickets but all they had left was two seats right behind home plate. My daughter and I really wanted to check out Carols Gonzalez so we figured what the hell. First off they lost 9-3 but who really gives a damn about the score of a minor league baseball game? We saw what we came to see. Is CarGon the real deal? Yes, very much so. His 2 for 3 night isn't what caught our eye, even though it was impressive seeing him go the other way for both hits . Stories are already flying around town about him being lazy and shows a lack of hustle. One ball in the gap was all it took to see where this is coming from. When the ball came off the bat, the only question we had was if it was in the park or not. Extra bases was the best case scenario. Gonzalez not only got to the ball, but did so in a manner so smooth it looked like he wasn't even running hard. But this cat was MOVING make no mistake. Later there was another shot that did get into the gap, it was a up and over the left fielder (Danny Putnum) maybe 10-15 feet to his left. As the ball came off the wall on the first hop Gonzalez beat Putnum to the wall, as arriving in full "glide" to take it and fire it back into the infield. He throws and swings much the same way as he runs. Smooth really should be this cat's nickname. Things just look so easy to this dude that some people are going to be mistaking it for laziness. There's a lot of talk about making him a right fielder due to his arm strength. I really do think that would be a mistake. The amount of ground he covers makes him extremely valuable in center. But wherever he plays one thing is for sure, it's not going to be in Sacramento for very long.

But, soft! What light through yonder window breaks?

It is the east, and Baseball Girl is the sun!
Arise fair sun and kill the envious moon,
Who is already sick and pale with grief
That thou her maid are more fair than she.
Be not her maid, since she is envious.
Her vestal livery is but sick and green,
And none but fools do wear it. Cast it off.
It is my lady, oh, it is my love!
Oh, that she knew she were!

As a mamber of the Choctaw Indian Nation......

It really doesn;t matter. Those Native Americans that make a big deal out of the whole thing are just trying to bring attention to their individual tribes. People should take their guidance from the Seminoles and allow their names to be used as it is one of the few ways specific Native American Tribes get noticed for their proud cultures

really?

As a member of another nation, I whole-heartedly disagree with you. And your promotion of your own tribe. And your reliance on your membership to speak for all NDNs.

By no means do I speak for all "Native Americans"

The term "Indians" is more derogatory than any mascot could ever be, but I do speak my mind. What is the most well known Native American Tribe? The Seminoles! Why? Because Florida State respects them and involves them in the program.

by 0akFoSho on Apr 12, 2008 4:31 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

BS

The most well known tribe is Cherokee... because everyone's grandmother was a Cherokee princess.

I'm not here to argue. Truth is truth! I will do my best to find the statistics for you, and yes the well Cherokee tribe is very well know as a result of the Trail of Tears. They are also one of the biggest organizers and I appreciate that as they have joined with us in several endeavors over the last 10 years.

Is Native American the term you prefer

Or do you prefer to just refer to your tribe, or something else?

My wife's 1/4 cherokee but doesn't really think about it at all, and our kids think it's cool but really don't know anything about it.

it's sad to me that your wife doesn't know her own history. Sad to me that your children don't.
As for what to be called, I prefer that people be polite. It's almost always polite to ask. But everyone has a different opinion on what they want to be called. Depending on how many Indians you know, it could get hard to keep track of. That's all I was saying.

I agree

there were some troubles in the family, her mom moved away, got married, and started a new life far away from the family, then developed a severe mental illness and really isn't capable of passing the culture along. Her father has tried but has no connections to the tribe. Anyways, cool talking about it, but let's go A's!

The reality is, most Native Americans view each other as one large tribe, as there are so few of us left.

But we are all very proud of our specific heratiges......

at least those that are educated on their histories. They are often long, and in most cases stories of dire transition and survival, and its hard not to be proud of that.

I think Sweeney's injury will be very telling

If he does indeed have a pulled hammy, and will be out, say, min 10 days.

If the A's medical staff has changed, Sweeney will head immidietly to the DL, and the A's will call up an outfielder.

If the A's medical staff hasn't changed, the A's will keep Sweeney on the active roster, effectivly playing with a 24 man roster for over a week, bring Sweeney back a bit too early, and Sweeney will stay injured for at least a month.
