Open Thread: Game 95 - A's vs. Angels (cont.)

Countdown_tiny by Taj Adib on

Duke is in embroiled in a 2-1 pitcher's duel with Dustin Moseley of all people. Time for the A's bats to scorn the crazy strikezone and put some more runs on the board.

 

A's still up 2-1 going into the bottom of the 6th...

LET'S

GO

OAKLAND!!!

Jesus. Can we catch a break?

Or rather, can Kotchman STOP catching them?

I love how the A's offense

makes every other pitcher they face look like Cy Young…...............

Left handed and dead?

Didn’t catch that about Moseley.

He looks lethargic and disinterested. I liked him better when he was getting RBIs all over the place and smiling all the time.

Oliver - slightly strained suck

Decided to pitch through it because he sucks anyway.

We've been "jobbed" out of 4 hits

in the last two innings. Now I want Duke-Ziggy-Street 7, 8, 9. But I predict an Embree sighting.

Tempting the baseball gods, here

But after seeing them a couple of times this season, I’m just not impressed with this Angels team. We’ve been over this, but still—how the hell have they done this well?

No clue and I agree 100%.

How have we done this well with our lineup? Pitching has been out-fucking-standing!!

Lots and lots and lots of wins in 1-run games.

Hence K-Rod’s astronomical save numbers. Plus, they have Justin Speier. He plays the game the “right way”.

by Taj Adib on Jul 13, 2008 2:47 PM PDT to parent up   0 recs

So how many times have the A’s been hit by other teams VS being HBP by the Angels? Cuz if Speier is actually right, you’d think that the A’s would be HBP constantly against every team since it’s their fault they get hit, right?

by drmmerchk on Jul 13, 2008 2:50 PM PDT to parent up   0 recs

Don't you know?

Only the Angels play the game the right way.

How?

Really good pitching, solid defense, winning close games, some good luck (not as much as some of the statheads think, but good fortune nonetheless)...

Did I mention really good pitching?

by bear88 on Jul 13, 2008 2:47 PM PDT to parent up   0 recs

Feh

The gentleman from Oregon is unmoved by the Angels’ pitching quality. Only Oakland shall be recognized.
