It's about time for the A's to bust out of their teamwide slump and get some hits in against Nolan Ryan Jon Garland. Cargon just made a highlight-reel catch. Let's build on it guys!
Angels 2, A's 0 going into the bottom of the 5th.

Angels totally have the pitching talent
to punish our offense
If we take pitches, they locate well enough for 1st pitch strikes and get Ks without getting deep into counts.
If we swing at 1st pitches, we tend to get into fast outs, keeping their pitch count low.
Overall, a bad combination for us.

Someone posted this on ESPN board and I think it has some merit
The A’s young hitters either regress or don’t develop further. This organization needs to alter their hitting strategy. They take way too many hittable pitches, putting too much pressure on the hitters.

What I was trying to say in the post that got eaten
To the people who were declaring the game over before it was actually over: What the hell? It was a dramatic finish, that could have been walk-off victory or game-over on the last at-bat. Baseball doesn’t get any better than that.
I mean, sure, I can understand being pissed when it’s over and we lose. But during the final at-bat?? If you can’t enjoy the excitement of a finish like that, why the hell are you even a fan? To me, that’s what baseball is all about.

At the time when our hitters were being made to look like 5 year olds
did you really think they were going to erase a 5 run defecit when up til then all they could do was get 1 hit every 10 plate appearances?
We all want to win so bad but I think being pissed off up to that point was very valid. Our team was stinking up the joint in all facets of the game.
I myself hate losing period. I can accet losing when getting out slugged but losing on errors, not blocking the plate, not playing fundamental baseball, that is unacceptable and deserves many negative comments and the wrath.

I'm talking about when you're down by
three with two men on base, with two outs in the 9th. Sure, the odds are against you, but you gotta be excited about the possibility. If you’re such a pessimist that you can’t even enjoy rooting for our guy to come through, and you post things like, “it’s over, we lost” before we even lost, then yes, I seriously wonder why you even bother following the game.
I know it’s a free country and an open forum and you can post whatever you like. But to me, people who post that crap are pissing in the punch bowl and spoiling the fun for the rest of us.

I wasn't referring to your post, Trainman.
Someone else did post “game over” when it wasn’t over yet.
I guess part of the reason it pissed me off so much was because I listen to the MLB Radio feed and a lot of times I really am several seconds behind, so I figured he must have heard the final out before I did.
It’s one thing to say “we’re gonna lose!” if you’re pessimistic, but to actually say “we lost” when we haven’t yet, that ticks me off.

At least we didn’t have to watch Suzuki bat in the bottom of the ninth, he definitely would have finished the game with a weak grounder to short. With Carlos Gonzalez at least we felt he could have won the game.

My real problem tonight besides bad fielding
not blocking the palte, etc…..
Is the A’s do not play solid fundamental baseball. Not advancing the runners when the odds are on our side, less than 1 out when trying to get back in the game, and late in the game….....why did Geren not try to have Davis even fake running, let alone hit and run, especially when Car-Gon had a 3-1 count!
Chances are K-Hole is gonna throw a fast ball, which he did. And if Geren is on top of it, he sends Raj whether or not Gonzales hits the ball or not. It just seems like a waste to even put Davis in at that point…..why not put some added pressure on the pitcher, especially when the A’s have a history of making life tough for K-Hole?????
Maybe it is just me but sometimes I feel that Bob Geren lacks imagination and preparation in games like these and Sciosia is a step ahead of him just about every single time in close games….........Fuck to holy hell, I am so frustrated~~
Alright, time to breathe…..........Go A’s!
