Open Thread: Game 29 - A's at Angels

Baseball_tiny by baseballgirl on Comment 393 comments

Oakland Athletics @ Los Angeles Angels


Same time, same place again tonight as the A's try to rebound from yesterday's tough loss (it's hard to waste a pitching performance like that and be too happy about it), and earn at least a series split to keep a share of first place in the West.

Taking the mound for the A's will be Dana Eveland in his first career start against the Angels. Things don't get any easier for the A's offense, as the Angels will throw yet another great pitcher; this time in the person of Ervin Santana, who is 4-0 on the year. Look for Daric Barton to be back in the lineup tonight as the A's try to split the series early, and look to tomorrow for a chance at a win.

Lineups:

LAAAAAAA:

Figgins, 2B
Matthews, LF
Guerrero, RF
Hunter, CF
Aybar, SS
Rivera, DH
Kotchman, 1B
Mathis, C
Brown, M, 3B

Your 2008 Oakland Athletics:

Suzuki, C
Ellis, 2B
Barton, 1B
Thomas, DH
Brown, E, RF
Cust, LF
Crosby, SS
Hannahan, 3B
Sweeney, R CF

LET'S GO OAKLAND!!!!!

I've been planning my work and errands

around being able to see (and tonight and tomorrow, unfortunately, only hear) these games.

Can anyone figure out

why Santana so thoroughly dominates us?

He dominated the guys who were on the team 2-3 years ago

(and who knows if he actually dominated those 2-3 particular guys?)

The A's colors are green and gold.

by mrod on Apr 30, 2008 5:18 PM PDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

And can anyone figure out why

when the A’s score a ton of runs one night they practically get no hit the next night. This happens way too many times to be mere coincidence. I can’t even think a logical explanation.
Unless it’s the answer to the Santana question: They fear it’s going to happen so it does happen.

because Garland and Bootlick suck, and Saunders doesn't?

Only Mike Scioscia

would bat Aybar 5th and Casey Kotchman 7th. Best manager my ass.

It must be Kotchman's 1.329 OPS against LHP that scared Scioscia off

I know it makes me a vanishingly small minority here on AN,

but I like Scioscia, and I do think he’s a very good manager.

Batting order, I shouldn’t need to remind people here, is such a small part of what makes a good manager.

True

Batting order, especially in the small sample size of one day, matters very little.

Whining at every close pitch that's called a ball/strike not your way

can be a bit irritating, though.

Looking up the boxscore, he did give up 3 runs in 6 IP

Not bad, but it also quadrupled the run total he’s allowed for the season.

catch me if I'm mistaken

but didn’t we face him twice? Five outtings, including today. Two of them us. So… still, mostly us. But YES definitely everyone. Which is why I added C.Lee to my fantasy team. That doesn’t make me like him. Just makes me feel better that he’s scoring points for me.

Why couldn't we have saved some of those runs from Monday?

Why? Someone said it, but I think it’s true. The A’s never score any runs the day after putting up big numbers. Sometimes it takes them a couple of games to recover. It happens a lot.

Maybe the Baseball Gods were pissed not because of the touchdown

But because of the denying the Le Grande Herido a chance at the cycle.

Here's the numbers for last season

Key: # runs scored : avg # runs scored next game (sample size)

0 : 4.60 (10)
1 : 4.31 (13)
2 : 3.95 (21)
3 : 5.14 (29)
4 : 5.05 (20)
5 : 3.88 (17)
6 : 5.25 (20)
7 : 5.75 (8)
8 : 3.00 (4)
9 : 4.67 (6)
10 : 1.50 (2)
11 : 7.00 (2)
12 : 3.00 (3)
13 : 3.00 (1)
14 : 6.00 (1)
15 : 4.00 (1)
16 : 1.00 (2)
17 : 8.00 (1)
all 10+ : 3.77 (13)

It does trend downward a little bit at the end, but I don’t think it’s significant. Looks to me like virtually no correlation between today’s runs and tomorrow’s.
