Open Thread: Game 92 - A's vs. Mariners (cont)

Baseball_tiny by baseballgirl on

Well, we have a pitchers' duel in this afternoon's game, as Smith has held the Mariners scoreless through six innings. The A's are coming to bat in the bottom of the sixth, trying to get on the board.

Oh, and in the awful news of the day, Sweeney, R was hurt on a head-first slide. It looks like more DL time for one of our best hitters.

say dislocated pinkie for RySween

Bring back Hammer.

Why does he have pinkies?!!

Why not 4 fingers just like the rest .. of ….. us?

I bet he actually does this

When you have a chance to get a guy like Sean Gallagher, you take it!

The easy answer is nowhere but

If DFA was to be trade where could/would the A’s be looking to send him?

by A'sfaninNC on Jul 10, 2008 2:16 PM PDT   0 recs

We are getting shut out by...

R.A. Dickey. I can just hear Fosse now: “You just have to tip your cap to the guy.”

What about Barry?
"Barry who?" Forst said, and I felt like I was in the middle of a knock-knock joke.

by KMoAsFan on Jul 10, 2008 2:17 PM PDT   0 recs

I'm tipping it now

Let the hitting commence!

Wow, he is so far behind the discussion here.

The trade may or may not be bad, but not for any of the reasons he states.

Hook

Why’d they pull Smith? 89 pitches sounds like one more inning to me. Are they worried he is reaching his yearly max? (I don’t have TV or radio, fyi.)

by Mark Borgschulte on Jul 10, 2008 2:23 PM PDT   0 recs

That's what I came in to post.

Worried he’s hurt, too.

Nah. He is just making it interesting.

He's trying to get the Mariners

to bat Suzuki for Bloomquist.

Mariners, in their wisdom, decided not.

Yes, but I don't like it when they boo our Ziggy

I thought they might be booing the ump?

Otherwise they’re stupid.

I don't usually agree with broad statements like "otherwise they're stupid"...

... but in this case, +1

Oh yeah? YOU'RE stupid.

Switched the day game to Thursday, sheesh.

This game is so dumb.

It's definitely a "moral loss"

Glad I opted out of going to today's game

Swooney hurt, 0-0 after six innings, and the pitchers are simply finessing guys..not like Duke, but simply and with entertainment.

Just as good to get some real work done today.

Back to Smith for a second

Why did he come out after 89 pitches?

by A'sfaninNC on Jul 10, 2008 2:31 PM PDT   0 recs

Maybe he's pitching in the Future's game
