Open Thread: Game 21 - A's vs. Twins

In a matchup of two pitchers who always come up big, Joe Blanton matches up against Livan Hernandez tonight. This Tuesday night game against the Twins, in which the forecast calls for cold weather with a chance of showers, is expected to draw one fan. Oh, you're not going? Never mind. :-(

A's-Twins games are known for being low-scoring and close (come to think of it, one may have to do with the other), so you could see the managers playing for one run more, or earlier, than usual - especially considering that the Twins are without Michael Cuddyer and the A's are without Frank Thomas anyone like Mauer or Morneau.

One other roster note: With Keith Foulke going on the DL, the A's have called up lefty Dallas Braden to help bolster the bullpen. It would be interesting to see Braden tried more as a LOOGY, as in his stint in the big leagues last year, Braden had success against left-handed hitters (.214 BAA, 1.02 WHIP) but was eaten alive by right-handed hitters (.324 BAA, 1.78 WHIP). However, with DiNardo having been pressed into starting duty over the last 10 days, Braden wiill likely be saved as a long-reliever, at least for the time being.

  Minnesota's lineup:

Gomez - CF

Harris - 2B

Mauer - C

Morneau - 1B

Young - LF

Kubel - RF

Monroe - DH

Lamb - 3B

Punto - SS

  Oakland's lineup:

Suzuki - C (We totally have the division's second-best leadoff hitter named Suzuki)

D. Barton - 1B (I put the "D" so that you'd know it's Dale)

Ellis - 2B

Cust - DH

E. Brown - RF (I put the "E" so that you'd know it's not Andrew in RF)

R. Sweeney - CF (I put the "R" so that you'd know it's not Mike in CF)

Crosby - SS

Buck - RF (late scratch, shin splints) Denorfia - LF

Hannahan - 3B

The A’s on the radio and a tasty frosty beverage. Life is good.

This thing rocks, man, it works, put in ice and plain water and in five minutes if will freeze to slush. I’m on Gatorade’n all, but life is still very good.

Woohoo! Go radio, you can do it!

I hate CSN.

Their chess-playing has attracted so much notice that one teammate -- they're not sure who, but they have a guess -- has begun hiding pieces, which are then discovered in odd places. The kings remain missing, so they're playing with Eric Chavez Bobbleheads. "Chavvy does have six Gold Gloves," Brown explained. "That's good enough to be king."

I think that they will use Braden as a LOOGY since they already called up Los Kirk to be the long reliever.

Partially good, partially rained out

It was a flight exam with the FAA—there was an oral exam and a practical flight test (also a written, but passed that a while ago). I got through the oral, but by then the weather had deteriorated so the flight test is postponed.

I actually like the bunt there

assuming that Ellis saw the 3rd baseman playing back and was bunting for a base hit. Puts 2 on with only 1 out and Cust coming up with a chance at a 3 run shot. If he gets out, we get our contact singles hitter in Brown coming up with a chance to drive in a run with a base hit. Puts both those guys in good situations.

Kubel crashed into Suzuki, who had the ball

but he didn’t technically tag him.

I’ve never actually seen somebody called safe on that. Usually making contact with the catcher in that fashion is going to get you called out if he maintains control of the ball.

Bobby Crosby strikes out.

Neither.

I was pissed off because SOMEONE LEFT TWO END PARTS OF THE BREAD IN THE FUCKING BAG. I was so disgusted, I almost couldn’t eat it.

That was a nice hit by Denorfia

and it allows us to clear the Hannahan of the lineup.

Thank you for being a friend...

Bounced to second and back again…Your heart is true (not so much your liver)

I like Cindi. A. She never pretends to know more than she does. B. She has unbridled enthusiasm for her "Hotties," and isn't afraid to show it. -IM4Oakgal

Emil Brown comes up with another big hit...

Who would want him playing on a regular basis??? I know I sure wouldn’t want a player that consistantly drives in runs.

by bdemartin on Apr 22, 2008 8:44 PM PDT reply actions  

Emil Brown is SO CLUTCH...

HE HR’S AND SCORES 4 2ND PERIOD GOALS

Jeremy was safe. He jumped over the tag.
