Open Game Thread - Game 97: A's @ Yankees (cont.)

A's trail the Yankees 2-1 going to the 7th. Chamberlain and Gallagher both were impressive (albeit profligate with their pitches) today, with the exception of the bottom of the 2nd, when the bottom half of the Yankees order nailed Gallagher for a couple runs. Game's now in the hands of the respective bullpens.

he's been in a hole the last month or so

can't we get

a hitting coach who can teach the bare bones basics of bunting??

Maybe I’m not a detailed enough observer, but it sure seems like the times when we try to bunt go horribly wrong. Is the skill really that hard?

The glare was not practiced. I would get into the game situations, and when that happens, there comes a level of concentration that most can only imagine but can never achieve. You become what you are doing, and that is what you see on my face. -Dave Stewart

Unfortunately he took the 3-2 pitch, which was obviously a strike.

Ziggy could have pitched another inning & won this one

just like he could have won the last game against the Angels!!!!!!
Ooops….I forgot..that is too much “outside the box” thinking for Geren.

That Huston Street is done as a closer?

by mrod on Jul 19, 2008 1:42 PM PDT reply actions   0 recs

No

Because the brains trust will keep him pitching

Just think where we would be without him, Blanton (gone of course), Embree and Foulke

no, that's ridiculous to say just because he's sucking just now

yeah, he’s done.

Note to Geren: a 1 run lead with street on the mound is equivalent to a tie ballgame, act accordingly
