Open Game Thread - Game 33: A's vs. Rangers

PrintTexas Rangers at Oakland Athletics, May 4, 2008 1:05 PM PDT
Greg Smith takes the mound to see if he can keep the Rangers to 2 runs or fewer, as the A's try to prevent a sweep of the weekend home series.
Starting for the Rangers is ... Feldman?
And their five starting second basemen:
Well, since the on-field and giveaway unis are flashback to the late '60s and the Rangers starter and second baseman are flashbacks to the mid '80s, I'm going to venture a guess that the A's may once again have trouble scoring runs today.
On the other hand, the Rangers starter is a mediocre double-A pitcher who none of the A's have ever seen, so ... uh-oh.

Not in ‘68, I don’t think.
My memory is the practice of pulling the stirrups way up began in the late ‘70s or early ‘80s.
In ‘68, I’m pretty sure most players showed relatively little safety sock.

Hello AN crew. The unis are off the chain and hopefully they
will bring a nice victory.
Pretty cool Sunday for me because I went to my gf’s hometown of Pratt which is only a half hour away from Greensburg. President Bush and his entourage passed us on the highway in about 7 Suburbans, a few Highway Patrol cars and two Sheriff cruisers. Bush isn’t very popular these days but I still thought it was cool to drive past him on a 2-way highway today!

Leadoff double by Roberts was caught stealing 3rd
Ramon Hernandez hit what he thought was a home run and jogged around and was thrown out at second
It does not matter
Trachsel is about the worst pitcher you could face if you are hoping for an Angel loss
He is throwing batting practice
Trachsel is an absolutely abysmal pitcher
O’s are in trouble. He might be the worst in the AL. Time to retire.
The A's colors are green and gold.
The vaunted Smith command hadn't really shown up
until today. He’s looking pretty awesome. Hitting the outside corner consistently instead of two inches off.
The A's colors are green and gold.
The Giants are honoring the "CSN+" rule
that says if we’re waiting for the A’s game the Giants must play as long a game as they can, going extra innings if humanly possible.

i was like watching the camera shift to 1B expecting a close play
and it wasn’t.
Jeremy was safe. He jumped over the tag.
how does park adjustment work?
his OPS+ is 99. do all of Oakland’s hitters benefit from park adjustment because of good A’s pitching stats skews Oakland’s park stats?
Jeremy was safe. He jumped over the tag.
A lot of that is offense for the league is down
so far compared to what it always is at the end of the year, so the league-wide OPS is 10-20 points lower. Last year also also skewed the park factor downward from what it normally is. A’s Pitchers don’t have anything to do with it.

If they get swept
They should be embarrassed.
Ellis, Crosby, Hannahan just to name a few look like (today) like they have no clue out there.
I bet Greg would like that pitch back to Duran but apart from that he has been great. Pity his teammates have no intention of helping him.
Because I like to add insightful analysis:
We really need to score.

and Geren for your total incompetence

Good managerial decision, bad outcome, IMO.
I like Cindi. A. She never pretends to know more than she does. B. She has unbridled enthusiasm for her "Hotties," and isn't afraid to show it. -IM4Oakgal
Ellis needs to be dropped to lower third
Right now he’s killing the A’s with his popups and groundouts.
Hence the problem
If we had other worthy candidates I don’t think Geren would hesitate to drop Ellis down in the order. But you want Hannahan #2? Ryan Sweeney? Me neither. The only thing I can think of is to go:
Suzuki
Barton
Cust
Thomas
Brown
Crosby
Ellis
Hannahan
Sweeney

That's one of the reasons I wouldn't run for Thomas, btw
But not a problem!
I like Cindi. A. She never pretends to know more than she does. B. She has unbridled enthusiasm for her "Hotties," and isn't afraid to show it. -IM4Oakgal

You know what Geren should do?
Davis to the OF, give up the DH, pinch hit for the pitcher if the #4 hitter comes up again.

My thought is Davis to LF (in the #4 spot)
Embree bats in Cust’s spot, Mike Sweeney pinch hits for Embree in the bottom of the 8th. Street should be coming in anyway. Denorfia, Murphy, and Bowen still available off the bench.

i was just saying can't put davis in for r sweeney
and have sweeney assume the ‘DH’. M sweeney could pinch hit of course for the pitcher
Jeremy was safe. He jumped over the tag.

Street to Jeff Nelson:
“I’m thinking! I’m thinking – I’m not talking to you!” Apparently, Nelson was having an argument no one else wanted to have.
Nice win, les bitches.
