Open Game Thread: Game 17 - A's vs. Mariners (cont)
by louismg on Apr 17, 2008 8:18 PM PDT
Email
PrintThe game didn't start out all that pretty for the A's, as Lenny DiNardo fell apart in the 3rd inning and exited the game partway through what would be a five-run frame, seeing the Mariners jet out to a 5-0 lead. But the A's, with any luck, just might be clawing back, as Emil Brown plated Jack Cust from third with a triple, and the A's now trail 5-1 after four full innings against Carlos Silva. It's not the kind of crooked number we were hoping for, but it's something...
Let's go A's! Time to get that offense started!

Oh great - they just announced
that the Royals are listing Bannister, Greinke, and TBA for the weekend series. That’s 3 pitchers we can’t hit.

But not against Silva - not the right guy to
try to get deep in the count. Better to hit into lots of DPs.

opposite, I say
We’re too patient. The guy throws only strikes, meatballs even, yet we insist on taking them till we’re down 0-2, then we K.

You have to swing at the 1st pitch with this guy
Taking pitches just digs a hole with this guy
They have been aggressive at the plate lately and their team BA is dropping like a lead balloon
better to try and draw a walk if you cant hit the ball where the defender isnt.

But maybe if they're really patient at the plate
they’ll miraculously become talented before the AB ends.

I have been watching their games, almost all of them in hopes that they will lose. They have some real good young players. Kotchman, Kendrick, mathis and Napoli are all solid players

Is everybody else
getting between-inning breaks consisting entirely or either (a) PSAs or (b) promos for CSN’s other programming? Their ad sales for A’s telecasts must be truly awful.
I keep getting the "Kitchens by Karl Rove" guy on the CSN promo
And what did we do once we discovered a rift in the fourth dimension? We launched a monkey into it. @('.')@
Considering Action 36 would sooner run
re-re-re-re-reruns of “That ‘70s Show” than the A’s game, I’d say sales aren’t exactly brisk.

I know
but it is more out of hope. We have to hope for something good because as soon as our current pitchers give up a couple, then the game is over
Like I said, we all want the A’s to win but the current cast is not getting it done.
Time for Carlos Gonzalez. Let him learn on the fly. He can’t be worse than what we have here at the moment
yeah but is his back?

I dont even want him coming back until the bats pick it up a little
losing 2-1 and 3-1 suck more then the blow outs

Don't tease me.
"Hasn’t the foggiest inclination toward winning ‘tall. Hates to win. Likes to be buggered."
Yeah, to think I was complaining earlier
about not seeing the game. Now I’m just mad the radio broadcast wasn’t pre-empted by the Tiddlywinks League playoffs.

When did we get Devine?
For Kotsay? I can’t remember.

Yes, it was for Kotsay.

You try to take something positive from every game
but to be honest besides Cust not striking out 2-4 times this game there is nothing positive to say. Cant hit, cant field and cant pitch.

If you don't have Sabathia on your fantasy team,
that’s a positive…My word, a 13.50 ERA with 32 hits and 14 BB in 18 innings – R U kidding me? Too bad we can’t hit starters #2-#75 in the AL, but…

warm fuzzy human interest story
one of my nephews is diabetic. Morrow is also diabetic. I used to take my nephew to Cal games and he noticed Brandon’s pump. Brandon (who wears his pump while playing) is my nephew’s favorite baseball player. Cute.

In terms of what is analogically televised
The Sharks are on their way to a playoff victory, or so we think…

Oh boy. A's Postgame Live
for those of us with digital cable. Radio programs on TV are not a great idea, in my opinion.
The candy and the baseball all night long: )
Only one more to go!
This has been painful.

persuades them to drop the black unis forever, it’ll be worth it.

No TV tomorrow...
rolls eyes…this sucks!

I can solve that problem
by going to the game.

I guess I could too.
But I’m so bummed out I don’t think I can do it.

It's baseball
It’s, like, better than no-baseball… ya know?

Thank God that is over
from 8-4 to 9-8
Better luck tomorrow.
Maybe we get 5 hits tomorrow

Chavvy can't field ground balls.
I’m no expert, but that could pose a problem.
Can we keep small-sample-size Bobby Crosby? Please? -Joey C.
but he can throw, so just have hannahan field then toss to chavy
then chavy makes the good throws…. we dont need a catcher…. just have the umpire stop the balls. He would have a better chance at throwing runners out than Zook
I shouldda
went to the game. I would have loved to see him pitch. Oh well.

Mariners fan here.
Last year, Morrow was basically throwing 100% fastballs with no command. His secondary stuff sucked.
In that inning he showed some really nasty splitters and sliders.
