Open Thread: Game 42 - A's at Cleveland (cont)
Well, I'd like to say that the A's broke Cleveland's scoreless innings streak, but I'd be lying. Cleveland broke it themselves with an error, giving the A's their lone run.
On the pitching end, Smith looks less than sharp, allowing three runs already in this game. It's bad, but if not for a diving catch by Cust (yes, really!), it could be a lot worse.
We go to the fourth, 3-1 Cleveland. A's still looking to score a *real* run.

Hooray for small miracles.
What about Barry?

BoCro sure screwed that by popping up a 3-1 pitch. When can the A’s get a real shortstop?

Just cuz I'm feeling hopeful
Maybe we’ll knock the ball around a little and Smove will get it together. It’s happened before.
OR
Is Casilla available?

The A's May Not Score an Earned Run The Rest of This Road Trip!
Cleveland has the second best pithing in the AL and the Braves the best in the NL. Combined with an enimic offense…well you get the drift.
Also, Murphy and Davis had their chance to show they belong in the bigs. Both have underperformed. Look for them to be DFAd when Chavy and Buck return.

Donnie Murphy can start on a good team in the majors
He hasn’t had ANY chance to show anything.

I don't know about Murphy. He has a little pop, a cannon of an arm and decent athleticism.
Not sure he’ll produce enough with the bat though at 2nd (he doesn’t have the range to play SS everyday).

I don't trust ML numbers of guys who never get regular time
but Murphy’s minor league numbers are better than, say, Hannahan.
I think people underestimate Murphy’s range. If Ryan freaking Theriot is an everyday SS, Murphy can be one.
