Anyone Hip to this guys swing?
Is KZ legit and going to keep this up or is this just another 'Small Sample Size'?
I like how Dye managed to run into the wall
5 seconds after the ball had already dropped.
The A's colors are green and gold.
Does that make him a grinder or is he still too black?

That is why I don't like the guy. He comes across as a "nice" guy

Actually, checked on DVR...
From their replay angle, which was down the first base line from home plate, it looks like it leans toward home. But checking the replay of the live play (from behind the mound), his front leg definitively goes to first.

My fears were reasonable
Embree is normally a 1 pitch pitcher, and a fastball is about the only thing Thome can hit this year. Embree isn't one of those funky lefties who is used as a LOOGY, either.
Great job by Embree and Suzuki to not throw Thome anything hard and/or straight.

Good glove (though Chavvy is great) but when you need a good AB ... uh, fat chance. He looks totally overmatched up there.

Start by putting your first halfway up the first base line,
then take strikes down the middle and bunt and everything in the dirt.

2 Runs Tonight
I've seen Buehrle look fabulous ... but not tonight. He hung too many pitches for the A's to have just gotten two. That key Crosby DB was the worst. I hope Huston closes the door but if he doesn't the loss is on the offense tonight. Pretty weak effort, not the least of which was the awful 9th ...
Smith sure looked terrific, though!
