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

Martin_brodeur_300_tiny by Blez on Comment 255 comments

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!!!!!!

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.

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.
