Open Thread: Game 42 - A's at Cleveland (cont)

PrintWhat could be worse than your offense being absolutely SHUT DOWN for three straight games, you might ask?
Well, how about your number one reliever absolutely going down after throwing a pitch? Casilla served up a homerun ball and immediately left the field with an arm injury.
To say that is not good is an understatement.
Oh yeah, and it's 4-1 Indians as we go to the top of the eighth.

Good idea to use Street here.
Gotta keep it to a 3 run lead so that Betancourt can still qualify for a save.
Geren used the bullpen like a fucking idiot today.

No one
we’ll just play street rules. Any ball hit in that hole is a foul ball.

I vote for that.

And a fun with stats sort of thing ...
if Kobayashi can get the save here, in reward for recording one out and allowing three base runners, Betancourt will be credited with a hold …

Tease was right
You new and pathetic A’s offense at its best
Ok I'm taking full responsibility for this one. When I wasn't watching the game the A's
loaded the bases and scored on a wild pitch. I start watching the game and the two Sweeney’s strike out.
Sorry guys…...and the worst thing is talkin to the pretty girl was far more entertaining. I think we all lose today! :P

Apparently they said on the radio that everyone on the team thinks Mike Sweeney
is the best hitter on the team.
Everyone except Geren I imagine.
Strikeout there or not, he is by far the best hitter on the team and needs to be in there until further notice.
Barton cannot hit his way out of a paper bag at the moment which is sad as we all think he is good but he need to ride the bench or go to AAA. You have to play the best hitter unless you want to score zip and get an “L” in the column everytime an As’ pitcher gives up 2 runs because when that happens the game is pretty much over unless the opposition throws the ball away 5 or 6 times a game.
Offense is terrible with no real solution in sight,
I mean yeah Getting Buck/Gonz/Chavy up would help. We still have a crap offense. Doolittle/Carter amoung a few other are years away. Doesnt look good for our offensive future.
When will then be now? Soon.
We should have signed Mark Sweeney as our PH off the bench
Then maybe we could be the first team in the history of the sport to have 3 Sweeney’s strike out.
