PrintA's have two men on, one out in the bottom of the eighth with CarGon coming up to bat.
Game tied 2-2. At least Cameraman Chucker won't get another win at the Coliseum.
LET'S GO A'S!!!!!!

When Ken refers to the pitcher,
I keep thinking he’s saying “Bobby C.” like it’s some sort of nickname for the most popular kid in a ‘50’s high school. Unfortunately, the reality (“Seay”) isn’t nearly that cool.

I dont have a prob with them taking walks..
but sometimes it looks like they would rather walk than hit. Walks are good but eventually you have to hit to score runs.
When will then be now? Soon.
With the bases loaded in the 8th inning
of a tie game, a walk is actually pretty darn good.

What was up with Rodriguez getting so excited behind the plate on every strike in that at bat...
He was back there pumping his fist….....
There is no A in OFFENSE!!
he was actually threatening the umpire
"The two of them deserve each other. One's a born liar, the other's convicted."
psyching out Barton
and preventing the ump from giving the batter a close call….

That was a good AB by Barton
The 3-1 pitch was in the low part of the strike zone, and coulda even been called a ball. And then he put a nice easy swing on the 3-2 pitch and hit it hard to CF.

Here is what makes no sense...
...one of our best outfielders is now the DH! Did we have to pinch run for Cust? Opinions?
A's, baby!
Yup -- right move
and if Emil’s little grounder had moved Davis to 2nd, instead of forcing him, then MaEl’s single woulda driven in the go-ahead run.
But I kinda think that if you PR there, you should at least start the runner, if not call for a straight steal.
"And Julio Franco is batting right-handed!" -- Wayne Hagin, A's radio play-by-play, mid-80s
Or if EMIL BROWN WOULD TAKE A PITCH

yes, because Brown may have actually got a base hit
