Open Thread: Game 29 - A's at Angels

Oakland Athletics at Los Angeles Angels, Apr 30, 2008 7:05 PM PDT


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!!!!!

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?)

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.

by SportySpice on Apr 30, 2008 5:22 PM PDT reply actions   0 recs

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

And what did we do once we discovered a rift in the fourth dimension? We launched a monkey into it. @('.')@

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.

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.

Hmmm

pitchers who are white = 75%?
pitchers who have curly hair = 35%?
pitchers who are butt-ugly = 25%?

So we’re talking, what, about one out of 14?

It really stinks that CGon has gotten hurt

not once but twice because he is looking awfully close to ready for prime time. An OF of Buck, CGon, and Cust/Brown/Denorfia and you’re in business.

I'm being realistic - there is NO WAY

that this team, as is, could possibly continue to compete. My hope rests on hanging in there long enough to see Buck, CGon, Harden (in theory) get back into the fray.

He should hit him.

Every single time he comes to the plate. He’d still be on base….but maybe the bruising would slow him down.

If a guy is hurt enough to call the training staff

He should just be pulled out. It’s like his secret code that he needs to come out. If he calls you out, and you come out and look at him, and he laughs and shrugs and throws a practice pitch that would be a HBP if there was a batter standing, you pull him out and don’t force him to beg himself out. Especially when he missed most of last season with injuries. I don’t get this machismo.

Jeremy was safe. He jumped over the tag.

I agree, keep the kid healthy

But i’d like to hear the trainers reasoning for keeping him out there. Hes still throwing 88-89

by Cochran86 on Apr 30, 2008 7:58 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

I have a feeling we're finding out whom Harden will replace

Sounds like Eveland is not 100% and is pitching his way towards the DL. (I say that not having seen him throw, so I’m going on Ken/Vince and common sense.)

The hard hit balls up the middle were not a good sign

I wish they had taken him out but then we would have got Braden out there

Eveland's Body Language is Extreme Discomfort

After the last strikeout was a very violent looking “YES I GOT HIM” but angry with himself/frustrated gesture. Followed by shaking his arm as if it hurts him bad. It’s really ugly they let him stay in.

Jeremy was safe. He jumped over the tag.

He’s also given up 3 runs, so what’s the point?
