Open Game Thread: Game 31 - A's vs. Rangers
by notsellingjeans on May 2, 2008 6:33 PM PDT
Email
PrintJoe Blanton vs. Vicente Padilla. Cupcakes vs. Alcohol.
What is it about Friday night A's games and compelling human-interest stories from the opposing starting pitcher? (Also, what is it about awkward run-on sentence constructions?)
Padilla has been publicly lambasted for being a headhunter, too. Last year he got into this fracas with Nick Swisher . However, I don't think you'll see that tonight. It's nice having Frank Thomas, Mike Sweeney, and Jack Cust in the dugout - it tends to cut down on bench-clearing pitches when you have three bouncers on your 25-man roster. Pitchers haven't really messed with Sweeney ever since they found out that he uses his helmet as a weapon when he charges the mound .
The 18-12 A's, fresh off a split with the Angels, take on Ron Washington's Rangers tonight at 7:05.

Yes, its very nice having players in the dugout
who could take the time out of their considerably busy schedule to injure themselves BEFORE reaching the brawl.
I haven't said it lately...
but thanks to the AN front page crew. You guys are awesome.

At least these A's can pitch
Teams that can pitch but can’t field are frustrating.
Teams that can’t pitch and also can’t field are simply unwatchable (as A’s fans from 1996-1997 know all too well).

not that they didn’t deserve to score
Jeremy was safe. He jumped over the tag.

A lot...
I remember, without looking in up, a game in the ‘80’s when the A’s made 7 errors…including 2 by Jose Canseco on one play (he muffed the ball, then picked it up and threw it into the 3rd base dugout).
I was thinking 5 errors by Scutaro. Could that be right?

Over the course of the season.
havent we only lost like 1 from errors?
but won a bunch from good D.
Jeremy was safe. He jumped over the tag.
That may be the case
But we have 2 unearned runs so far. Furthermore the pitchers have to throw more pitches and there is no exscuse for ineptness.
Someone needs to make this team take fielding practice every day until it ceases
they are making the biggest deal of that first called strike
looked like a strike to me
