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.

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

Jack Cust

Was a one-hit wonder. He had a good couple of months, but that will be the highlight of his baseball career. Billy/Dave Forst- Please, for the love of god get rid of him as soon as Buck is ready

Jack Cust

has been making dumb ass plays all week, He is useless if he is not our DH. Speaking of which, Frank Thomas is more than do to hit is first home run as an Athletic this season. I have a feeling that this is going to be a high scoring game.

Cust

How many times have we seen him do that? If you can’t catch a can of corn you don’t belong in the majors. Pathetic.

Serves me right

as after our 4 run lead with it muted, I just watched the end of the M’s game, all the while chuckling and feeling fat and smug about our lead.

who are condemning Cust, so I could call you on it later in the season when he is winning games for us.

Duke's ER this game

From what gameday says Duke wasn’t charged with any of the 5 runs scored that inning

by Coffee13eans on May 1, 2008 7:59 PM PDT reply actions   0 recs

Nope. They all came AFTER the error.

Does Bobby Crosby cRoss Dress for Less?

by ohtobe21likehuston on May 1, 2008 7:59 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

Yep, because none score if Cust catches the ball

Inning would’ve been over. That’s not to say Duke is blameless but none of it happens if Cust doesn’t show everyone how bad his glove is again.

Who was it on here that said at least Cust tries?

When we were having a debate about Cust vs Brown’s defense

I said then it was only a matter of time before Cust did something out there to cost us a game. Hopefully it would be tonight.

I have a feeling

That Cust will make his bat heard tonight before all is said and done. And big Frank is due!!!!

Yes, Duke should've sucked it up

but I was a pitcher and it can be really tough to bounce back when your defense betrays you

Well that's too bad

At some point you have to take responsibility for your game as a pitcher.

No CUST if we lose

although Jack screwup, if we lose you must charge this to the DUKE, he just prove me that he is not a money pitcher, one error with bases empty does notn loses a game!

sorry for Jack not for Justin!!!!
