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

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.

What about Barry?

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.

Embree and Foulke
are done. They’re past any redemption and could easily just go away. The other two…I’m not so sure of that. Hannahan, although he’s 28, hasn’t played even a full season yet. Granted, he will probably not even be more than a journeyman, but in fairness, that was supposed to be his role on this team—the Scutaro all-purpose infielder (with scrubbing bubbles!). Blanton…Joe may just need to come in to camp in better shape next year. He’s got skills, he’s not worthless.

Murphy
wth his .188 average is about the least likely guy for a walk-off, but what the hell…

walked 4 pitches ago.
Not that I’m complaining.

Probably better to have a good 3Bman in the 10th
Not yet close enough to winning to “go for it” at the expense of defense. (Plus Petit’s not a good enough hitter)

It's cool, Hannahan is up.
For some reason, he can’t hit 98mph fastballs at his eyeballs.
I hope he lucks into one.
