Open Game Thread: Game 79 - A's vs. Giants
by notsellingjeans on Jun 27, 2008 6:53 PM PDT

The A's open a three-game series at home against the Giants tonight at 7:05 p.m. My fellow Cal Poly Mustang alum Kevin Correia takes on Dana Eveland, as the Giants look to avenge the A's series sweep at AT&T Park earlier in Interleague play.
Chavez and Sweeney remain out of the lineup, replaced by Rajai Davis, Emil Brown, and Jack Hannahan.

The (potentially) good news is
Correia has already made 2-3 mistakes, including a “drive me!” hanging slider to Crosby and the 0-2 pitch that Gonzalez popped up. If he keeps throwing a few of those, the A’s will be in good shape.

That was a terrific at bat by Rajai
9 pitches, battled hard, and if one of the best defensive CFs in baseball wasn’t out there that ball might have dropped in.
Correia is over 80 pitches already, and that Giants bullpen is really quite terrible.

Knocking a pitcher out by scoring 6 runs in the first is always better
But the A’s offense did a decent job of working the count. Now that they’re into the bullpen for the final 4 innings, they need to take advantage of that.

So if an ex-catcher is a manager...
Bochy, Geren, Sciosa…
..if a pitcher just ain’t got nothing, throwing meatball after meatball, does the catcher look in the dugout, give a “secret sign” (like rubbing his mask with his forearm, or yelling out, “He sucks bigtime!!”) so that the manager doesn’t have to think twice, just bring the hook..??
Anyone know?

Nah
He became my favorite player in 2001 when he first got called up by the Sox and I saw him play defense a few times. There was a game against Tampa Bay where Mark Buehrle took a no hitter into I think the 8th inning. In that game he made two absolutely ridiculous catches that prolonged the no hitter. From that point on he was my guy.
Plus, if he’s gonna get hurt, he better be the one making the catch.

Some announcers are charitable and ignore the fine points. Fosse lets it fly, verbally, when players don’t measure up.
