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

Baseball_tiny by baseballgirl on Comment 560 comments

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.

The easy answer is nowhere but

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

We are getting shut out by...

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.)

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

IBB was the right move

Beltran is hitting about .500 vs the A’s, and if anyone could get a fly ball, it was Beltre (and probably, a HR with Casilla providing the power).

Vidro was a good DP candidate. He almost “pulled it off”. Just a little too far from LS.

There is a quote about him from when he was playing

I’m paraphrasing, but it was something like:

“He doesn’t have any respect for the well being of his own body when he plays. Why should he care about yours?”

Dude was just mean on the field. Nicest guy ever off the field though.

stat of the day

Since June 22, Cust’s AVG is down .022 points.

In the same time period, Ellis’s is down .018 points.

They’re both out-machines who don’t deserve regular playing time!!!

But then we have no hitters that should be hitting 3rd, 4th or 5th

Ummm...

Rajai Davis, Wes Bankston, Jack Cust, Emil Brown, Rob Bowen, Donnie Murphy, Jack Hannahan.

Do any of these guys start on any other team in the league? We must be the most die hard group of fans in the league. I’m about to stop blaming the individual players, and start blaming Beane for having such an ineptitude to find an actual offensive player.

What about Barry?
