Open Thread: Game 30 - A's at Angels

As_kings_cal_tiny by louismg on Comment 432 comments

Oakland Athletics @ Los Angeles Angels


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!

New gimmick

At the end of the game, we can order tickets online using the code HITS and get a discount of $1 per hit for plaza level tickets to Sunday’s game.

and yell “SUZUKI!!!!” as he leads off the game, dude behind me (in red) says, “Ah, a Seattle fan, eh?”—I say, “Nah. Titans.” (Cal STate Fullerton). Red dude chuckles.

So does Jack Cust just not work on his defense at all?

Cause he hasn’t improved at all since last year.

Hannahan seems to have great range,

but can’t make the throw from third. He needs to be a middle infielder.
