Open Game Thread: Game 58 - Tigers vs. A's (cont.)

Oakland_tiny by Blez on

A'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!!!!!!

A walk is as good as a hit.

Actually, a hit likely scores two.

But I like a walk just fine all the same

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.

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….....

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.

...one of our best outfielders is now the DH! Did we have to pinch run for Cust? Opinions?

by Coach Cleats on Jun 2, 2008 9:43 PM PDT   0 recs

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.
