Open Game Thread: Game 93 (cont. 2)

PrintSean Gallagher fanboys are emerging from mothers' basements all over the Bay Area. Five innings pitched, nine strikeouts, great composure and confidence on the mound. I'm excited to watch this for several years to come.
Hannahan has hit a bomb, Matt Murton got his first American League hit, and the A's lead 9-2 as we head to the sixth.

Nothing wrong with this guy at all
Looks a whole lot better than he did when he faced the Whitesox
Good FB, Nasty off speed. Made several Angels look pathetic which is a good thing. When he gets more experience, he is going to be way, way more than adequate.
Certainly makes Joe Blanton look like a total gascan but then that is not saying anything,
Huh? How much does he weigh?

You knew it when he compared Murton to Joe Rudi

Nobody said he wasn't good. People have been saying that it wasn't enough for Harden and Gaudin.
Why are people trying to come out with the “I told you so” posts?
Plus, it's one game. Today DFA's looked really good (at the plate at least).
Let’s give him time before deciding if he’s good or not.
Thank you Chicago.
For giving us a good lookin future.

why hit aybar, wouldn't they want to hit someone a bit more important?

3rd one was the kicker
right after a home run, trailing 9-2, and knowing they have no chance because their bullpen is spent from the previous 2 nights.

I'm not a big fan of retribution
because I think players typically overreact and often bean batters when the original beaning was questionably intentional.
In this case I am 100% sure it was intentional. Not paying them back is going to send a signal that we are a weak team…if we are not already though of that way.
I’ll be very dissapointed if we do nothing.
Can't we run over their infielders instead?

I'm in agreement.
Normally, I think the whole plunking thing is bullshit. But for the Angels, tonight, I’ll make an exception.
Is this Heaven? No, it's Iowa. -Field of Dreams
I agree with your first paragraph.
I’m normally very against retribution. Even now I’d still prefer no payback. But if we do payback tonight I wouldn’t object as strenuously as I usually do.
That said, if there was going to be payback, they should have done it promptly. Waiting until several innings later when it doesn’t matter (1) is chickenshit, and (2) invites abuse.

As a Cub fan I will miss Sean and Matt they are good guys and good ballplayers. In Sean your getting a good young arm and a great person after a game last month he actually stopped and signed and took a picture with my little girl. The best of luck to both of these young men, you have a new A’s fan here. They had a great game and we took care of the Giants for you. Good night.
