A's are up 3-2 in the bottom of the sixth, but the Indians are rallying. The bases are loaded with two outs and Joey Devine has just walked in a run.
Casey Blake is up.

Whew!
Threat is over. Blake grounds out to end the inning. A's up 3-2 and now up to the plate in the top of the seventh.

Is when I constantly become the second person to post redundant info.

Geico (insurance runs); AFLAC (supplemental insurance runs).
But considering we're talkin the A's, maybe it should be Kaiser/Blue Cross/HealthNet for the insurance runs.

Just to be a spoilsport ...
Crosby: still swinging at sliders away, still swinging too big/too hard. He's hitting great now, but he's still displaying several of the fundamental problems that have brought his performance back to earth before.

But he is MUCH better swinging at sliders away, hence the 1 K. His plate discipline is night and day from the last two years. He still has a terrible swing.

yes, but ...
1. Small sample size
2. Ah, yes, relying on AVG
3. Crosby's established MLB perf level
4. Once word gets out that Crosby has made one major adjustment (moving closer to the plate), the whole league will go back to busting him up and in, and we'll be right back where we started
He does look a lot better in certain respects, but we'll have to see if he adjusts to the league's inevitable adjustment to him.

He has been calmer at the plate
That's the biggest thing to me, as far as hope he might sustain some of this success.

I don't know...
He's shortened up his swing, he's staying back on pitches. Sure, he goes out and gets one on occasion, but it seems to me he only goes after pitches he has a realistic chance of making contact on. Not to say that he can't turn to crap in an instant....but so far, not to bad at all.

I think he's staying on balance much better than before
He stride and swing used to basically make him fall over, towards the plate. Now he's balanced throughout the swing, he's more relaxed, and he's not overswinging in a desperate attempt to catch up with the ball.
