Kotsay cruises to a ball Sweeney plays on a hop,
Brown on two hops, and Cust is still chasing.

Nic -- I was just thinking the same thing!
Ryan Sweeney definitely plays that on a hop.

Irrelevant
If Kotsay’s in Oakland, the voodoo curse relegates him to 1/3 innings played and a season average of .000

Cust hasn't been all that harmful. We won the game with his error.

Why ease up?
The only baserunner is going to score anyway, and Sweeney is backing him up.

If you think you’re getting a fastball down the middle, let him swing. If you don’t, have him take.

you could hit M. Sweeney. If it’s first/second nobody out, F. Thomas (can’t walk him).
