Open Thread: Game 30 - A's at Angels

Oakland Athletics at Los Angeles Angels, May 1, 2008 7:05 PM PDT
30 games already? Really? Wasn't it just yesterday we were acting like insomniacs, rooting on our A's as they played in Japan? Sure seems like it.
With a surprising 17-12 March and April behind them, the A's start their May play this evening against their rival LA Angels, looking to gain a split of the four-game series. True to form, after drubbing the Angels on Monday in a 14-2 romp, the A's bats have fallen silent, scoring only one run over the last two nights. Given the team's May records over the last few years, we're hoping this is not a sign of things to come...
To leave town with a victory, the A's are sending Justin Duchscherer to the mound with a 1-1 record and a sporty 2.70 ERA, to take on righty Nick Adenhart, who was called up from the Angels' AAA Salt Lake affiliate, after starting the minor league campaign with a 4-0 record and an 0.87 ERA. Tonight's game is Adenhart's major league debut. No pressure, rookie!

No Denorfia again eh?
I’d like to see what he’s got. At the moment, Ryan Sweeney isn’t showing any power or patience – and there’s no way his defence is better than Denorfia’s.

Ya, Beane seems to really like him for some reason
that mere mortals can’t see. He must have great intangibles or something.

Makes Duke throw more pitches, gets into a situation he never should have been in, and a mistake like that is only amplified.

I know Cust made an error
But Duke needs to suck it up and not lose his focus. He has no business hanging a pitch like that.
