Open Thread: Game 30 - A's at Angels (cont.)

Given that every A's hit counts for $1 off Sunday plaza level tickets, or so the radio guys keep telling me, some of the A's players are trying to get us the opportunity to go for free! Not happy with the back and forth battle we've seen all game long, the A's have broken it open, racing to a 13-6 lead, with a 7-spot in the 5th.

And today's would-be goat Jack Cust is actually doing very well at the plate. Two hits, including a bomb to lead off the inning, and two walks... raising his batting average on the season to a sparkling .200.

Go A's!

turns out Suzuki caught that pitcher, so

Suzuki already had a book on him.

Didn’t matter, he could not pitch a strike.

Tough beginning.

And, you know, compare that to Greg Smith. After Smith hit the first batter, and had some runs scored, he could have emulated the Adenhart fiasco. But, instead, he righted the ship and kept on pitching.

Greg Smith! Get used to it!
