Open Game Thread: Game 82 - A's at Angels (cont.)

A's are up 2-0 going to the fifth inning.  Greg Smith has looked much better tonight so far.  But is it him or the poor Angels offense?  You decide.

LET'S GO A'S!!!!!!!

actually, I'm all in favor of retaliation when it's deserved

So long as the ball is thrown well below the head.

But on a crappy changeup that Garland obviously just lost control of? That’s paranoid/hysterical. So, yes, Kendall would advocate doing that. Or Scioscia.

I'm dead serious here -

Pinch hitting for Cust (with E. Brown) would make a lot of sense, given the situation, a LHP coming in, and the fact that Cust should be leaving for defense in the bottom of the inning. Then you put Brown in the OF for Cust, or Brown and R. Davis for Cust and R. Sweeney (he looks like he’s hurting a bit).

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

Yup - I would have pinch run Davis for Sweeney

and pinch hit Brown for Cust, then left those guys in to play defense.

Better than striking out.

Sounds like they thought Sweeney would try to score on it, too.

I think they should have run for Sweeney

if they wanted to score the run – not fair to ask him to run in that situation.

I don't know, I'm pretty worried.

The Angels have scored as many runs tonight as in their last three games COMBINED. How can we hope to win against such an onslaught?

Extra bonus:

Juan Rivera is one of their few good hitters, and this contributes to them continuing to not play him.

The Angels could have walked Chavy

and had Arredondo pitch to Crosby with the bases loaded and one out – glad they didn’t.
