Open Thread: Game 29 - A's at Angels

PrintOakland 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.

I've been planning my work and errands
around being able to see (and tonight and tomorrow, unfortunately, only hear) these games.
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.
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?
And what did we do once we discovered a rift in the fourth dimension? We launched a monkey into it. @('.')@
It's a coincidence.
Seriously.
Put down the tinfoil hat and step away from the television. :p
Your 2008 Athletics: It's Nothing Personal.
I’m going to the game! Hopefully we’ll catch the breaks to win tonight, I’m sure it’s going to be another pitching duel.
Have fun and yell loud so we can hear you ;)
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."
That amazing Toronto offense
is in the process of getting shut out yet again tonight. They should cut Halladay.

Only Mike Scioscia

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.

If it makes anyone feel better
Cliff Lee killed the M’s today. So it’s not just us. It’s just mostly us.
Things could be worse. Suppose your errors were counted and published every day, like those of a baseball player.
It's actually everyone - He has dominated everyone
every time he’s pitched. Go figure.

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.
It could be.
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

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.

Figgins = great fantasy guy
They have him listed at like 6 positions.
Double play ball…..coming
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
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.)
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
he doesnt look ridiculously hurt or anything
isn’t throwing ugly, but how knows what kind of permanent damage he might be racking up…
Jeremy was safe. He jumped over the tag.
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
Lets get the out here and hit this Santana out of the park a few times
Oh Well
Who would have thought we would have ever been in first place this season These Angels are good !

All I wanted from this series was a split
I still have hope even if we lose tonight b/c I have faith in the Duke.

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.
I agree. He didn't look happy out there.
