Open Thread: Game 98 - A's @ Yankees (cont.)
The Duke is gutting-it-out on the mound today against a good Yankees offense. Of course, the A's are once-again K-ing at a mind-blowing rate and trail the Yanks 1-0 going into the 6th innings. Come on guys! Make some contact and the game interesting at least!

will be nice to get a walk
Seems like A’s walk rate has gone way down too.

Saw a bit of news in today's paper
Bleacher seats in the new Yankee Stadium will be $50 a game.
Good Lord.

Wow, a Hannahan hit!
I thought for sure he would be late on a 88 mph fastball again. Thank goodness they threw him a breaking pitch.

Can we have Sweeney bat every time the A's have RISP?
Is he the only guy on the team that gets how to hit in those situations? No watching two strike pitches, no trying to do too much with them. Just serves the ball into center.

No surprise to see Sweeney come through
Also no suprise to see Crosby kill the inning. If they traded him, I would not be sad at all.

I wouldn't be sad if they cut him.
Nobody wants him in a trade, for what he costs next year. Even his defense has taken a significant turn for the worse this year. There is absolutely nothing useful about his game.

Is anyone else watching this on Comcast

It's bad enough going up against Kazmir
but then I noticed Eveland was pitching so I won’t be so upset at the result.
Of course Kazmir might be off and we could torch him for a run so you never know.
