And Sometimes, When It Seems That All Hope Is Lost...

...life tosses you a special gift of a baseball game.
Despite winning the first two games of the four-game series, the A’s looked in danger of earning only a split; enduring two devastating losses before a series against the Angels that could decide their season.
It certainly didn't start out like a winnable game, after the A's put R.A. Dickey on the ropes in the first inning and failed to score. Indeed, the A’s offense wouldn't show up until literally the last moment possible to extend the game.
But the real story is that it DID show up, in the unlikely form of three solo homeruns, leading the A’s to an extra-innings win, behind the one sharp bullpen arm; Huston Street.
Greg Smith and R.A. Dickey started the game locked up in a scoreless pitchers' duel that continued on into the sixth for Smith; the eighth for Dickey. It looked like the win was all but sewn up for Dickey when the Mariners scored a run in the eighth and one in the ninth to put up a huge 2-0 lead over the A’s.
After Ryan Sweeney, one of the few bright spots in the A’s lineup, left the game early after a head-first slide (diagnosis: dislocated pinky; you make the call on injury time), the A’s offense absolutely rolled over and refused to mount a threat against the knuckleballer Dickey, who has been sharp in his last few outings, including today. The A’s pitching staff managed to keep the Mariners off the board through seven, thanks to a little Houdini work by our Brad Ziegler, who threw the seventh and escaped without a run scored (keeping the streak intact), but the A’s couldn’t match zeros forever.
The A’s pitching struggled in the eighth (read: Santiago Casilla is no longer an effective set-up man), as Casilla allowed a leadoff double, which scored on an infield hit to give the Mariners the 1-0 lead. Blevins came in to load the bases, but induced a pop-up for the second out, and struck out Reed to end the inning after getting behind 3-0.
The A’s managed a leadoff walk again Dickey in the eighth to send him out of the game, but failed to move the runner from first. Until the ninth, the A’s had managed four hits; three from the Sweeney/Davis spot in the lineup, a hit from Emil Brown, and a couple of walks for Jack Cust.
Embree had his own trouble in the ninth, as he allowed a leadoff double to Bloomquist, and let him steal third. He scored on a subsequent double, and the Mariners held the seemingly insurmountable 2-0 lead going to the bottom of the ninth.
And just when you thought that the game was surely over, and ANers everywhere were starting to slink off to lick their wounds, Cust led off the ninth with a homerun, which did nothing by itself but highlight the solo runs given up by Embree and Casilla. And it looked like the A’s would lose 2-1, just to make it a little more heartbreaking.
But then the impossible happened: With two outs, Suzuki was called off the bench to pinch-hit and improbably, unlikely, and ridiculously hit a homerun to tie the game.
The game went into extra innings, where Huston Street had his chance to shine, as he shut down the Mariners in the 10th and 11th frames. And in the bottom of the eleventh inning, just to cap off the amazing day, much-maligned Emil Brown hit the final homerun of the day, sending the A’s to an impossible walk-off win, which earned them the right to start the series tomorrow at worst five games back. Of course, if Texas would like to help out again tonight, I don’t think they’ll get many complaints here.
Yes, the offense is still AAA level. Yes, Ryan Sweeney is a big question mark. But for one glorious day; one amazing baseball game, the A’s reminded us why we care, and why we watch, and rewarded us for our fandom today.
A’s take on the Angels this weekend; see everyone up in Oakland!!!!

Geren made some great calls,
including sending up the right-handed hitting Suzuki to hit for Bowen to go with “the better hitter overall,” and (I believe) planning to use Street for up to 3 innings when he threw only 14 pitches in the 10th and 11th combined.
Smoke and mirrors, baby!

Casilla...

Casilla seems like kind of a head case to me
He has the stuff to be dominant, and when he’s going good, he is. And then he just inexplicably turns into a replacement level guy with no control for a while.
I guess the one good thing is that as a bullpen guy, you can limit his leverage when he’s bad and use him in key spots when he’s good. Can’t do that with Blanton.

it's not really surprising
that following a near blowup of his elbow he hasn’t returned to be as totally lights out as before he got hurt. I’d give it a a little more time before deciding that Casilla is “no longer an effective setup man.”...how about “not yet back to being an effective setup man”?
I can’t blame anyone on the pitching staff, really….the A’s had no offense at all until the very end of the game …after the knuckleballer left.

That game was excruciatingly bad until the 9th
The game wrap we had a few days ago mentioning that the game was the kind that made non-aficionados hate baseball? This game was its ugly cousin.
But in the end, it was worth it for me to blow off work entirely and sit through nearly 4 hours of a “pitchers’ duel.” Suzuki reminded me that he is in fact having a good offensive season for a catcher, and everyone else showed that, even if the A’s are putting out their least talented squad of the year these days, they’re still better than the Mariner’s woeful payroll juggernaut.
There are some very big problems with this team as it is currently constituted, but if they really are getting back the players that are slated to return after the All-Star break, all these guys have to do is tread water for a while.

Prediction on Gallagher tomorrow:
He is a bit shaky for the first two innings, allowing a run and walking a couple, but then gets in a nice groove and finishes with something like
6.1 IP, 5 hits, 2 ER, 3 BB, 4 K

Even including today’s results, the Angels have outscored us by one whole run. Prior to today, LAA was out-OPSing us by a whopping .010. And they’re basically maxing out their production based entirely on AVG. They have two hitters (Vlad and Kendrick) I’d take over our positional counterparts.

It's not even close to the (Oakland) A's worst lineup.
Try 1979 when they had a team OPS+ of 80. Dave Revering and Dwayne Murphy were the only decent hitters on the team. On any given day, you could have Dave Chalk or Mike Edwards at second base, Mario Guerrero Rob Picciolo at short, Jim Essian or Jeff Newman behind the plate, or Miguel Dilone, Larry Murray, and Derek Bryant roaming around somewhere in the outfiled. It was brutal. I still loved going to the games, though.

He is one of my favorite players in the league right now. And he was a huge deal in HS and after he was drafted. It great to see him produce and make the impact that he has made.

He said "really hit"
Based on his contract and inability to play defense, he’s pretty much the least valuable player in baseball these days.A .395 SLG in GAB is really quite awful.

Every good hitter seems to be LH, that I can come up with. Well, hitters that would arrive leaving the A’s pretty much intact..
Mike Sweeney, if you’d stayed good with the knees, the Athletics would be 57-35 and rolling on top. So close!!!!!

One more thing
Today was the first chance I had to see Ziggy pitch in person as an Athletic and here he comes closer than he has yet to allowing a run.
That was a tense moment for sure. It’s just a testament to how well he’s been pitching that this is the worst trouble he’s been in so far.

Unless, of course, he homers. That’ll make the jogging easier.

But we are in second place within our division and we did hit three home runs in the ninth inning or later to first tie, then win the game. It’s not even All-Star Break and they’re gonna start dogging us like this?
Like Louis points out, we don’t rank ahead of NFL football rumors or Palo Alta, the “could be Ttitletown”? Even from a continuity standpoint, you have five games go eleven innings. You led with it. Show the effing games. Show us last of the five, perhaps, but not at the effing 45 minute mark.

Thank God
for my Extra Innings package. I hate SportsCenter (even though I still watch it from time to time when there’s nothing else on) and long ago gave up on trying to learn anything about the A’s from it.

Letter writen to ESPN
“We hit three HRs in the ninth inning or later to first tie, then win the game. There were five games that went eleven innings today/tonight. YOU LED WITH THAT STORY. You then showed the other four games in succession. At the 45 minute mark, you showed VERY abbreviated highlights of the A’s game. We are in second place in our division and it’s not even the All-Star Break. You need to do better. I am seriously considering breaking all ESPN ties, including mag. subscription and insider membership.”
Obviously abbreviated b/c they limited me to 500 characters, but I encourage all who feel like I do to write to them.

Can we stop with the ranting Harden diaries?
I don’t mind fans blowing off steam sometimes. But I’ve seen way too many that just say “This trade sucks!!!” without offering any decent arguments.
In other words, I don’t really care about your opinion unless you have something to back it up.
