Open Thread: Game 106 - A's vs. Royals
by Nico on Jul 29, 2008 6:32 PM PDT
Email
PrintHoping to shed himself of the nickname "The Nibbler," Greg Smith gets the call tonight against Royals ace Gil Meche. In Smith's last outing, the lefty retired his first nine batters, then later followed up a disputed HBP by surrendering back-to-back HRs in a loss at Tampa Bay.
Don't look now (ok you can look now), but Carlos Gonzalez is batting .280 and the more he's hitting the fewer strikes he's getting and the more he's walking. Gonzalez' line now stands at .280/.318/.429 and he is batting in the clean-up spot tonight. And rather remarkably, Oakland's #2 and #3 hitters are both .300 hitters. If there is reason for optimism in the coming years, tonight's 2-3-4 goes a long way to providing it.
The lineups:
DeJesus - CF
Aviles - SS
"Grudzie" - 2B
Guillen - LF
Butler - DH
Gordon - 3B
Teahen - RF
J. Buck - C
Gload - 1B
Patterson - LF
R. Sweeney - RF
Suzuki - C
Gonzalez - CF
Cust - DH
Ellis - 2B
Hannahan - 1B
Crosby - SS
Conrad - 3B

why did Geren put our power hitters...
at the bottom of the order?
Foolsh, the most insane regular poster on AN since oaktoon left - salb
Because there is nowhere else to go
We have 2 guys that should be batting in a #2 spot, 1 guy batting #6, 2 batting #7 and then rest should be alternating between the 8 and 9 hole in practically every other MLB lineup.
So somebody has to step up for spots 1,3,4, and 5
The Stockton Ports pitching staff is better than the Orioles.
All I know is I'm glad that ugly-ass mouthbreathing mofo Lackey...
...lost his no-no tonight.
It was close, but seeing Lackey lose it trumped seeing the Red Sox getting no-hit at home. Barely.

That no-hitter disintegrated fast
in the blink of an eye, gone was the no-hit, and gone was the shutout
Good day so far for the Rays:
Tampa Bay beats Halliday and the Blue Jays, Boston loses, Yankees down 6-3 in the 9th.
I like Cindi. A. She never pretends to know more than she does. B. She has unbridled enthusiasm for her "Hotties," and isn't afraid to show it. -IM4Oakgal
only one possible outcome of this game with all those factors.

I have a feeling we'll be seeing that name a lot in the cleanup spot...
...and not so much of that name in the 3rd spot (not a knock on him; I got real mad at him awhile back and wanted him replaced in the next few years, but he’s been on fire for a long time).

I'd think so
Ellis had to go to his right onto the grass just to glove it, then he made a running, off-balance throw that bounced and skipped up on Hannahan near the letters. He couldn’t react quickly enough and was unable to hang on.
And the error was given to him. How that’s not a hit all the way I have no idea, but the official scorer the A’s have often has the attitude of “if you get a glove on it at all you should catch it.”

Nothing tilts me like a .300 hitter comment
Sorry not directly against you Nico, but this idea that the number .300 is somehow more special than .299 is quite frustrating.
Can't get enough of the Oakland A's? Visit Oaktown Awesomer's
I guess I would be happy with a couple of .299 hitters
so .300 is good too.

You can't pass a 45 degree angle towards the plate
Leg has to be off the ground to do that. Answer is no.
The A's colors are green and gold.
I could be wrong, but when it comes to lefties I've always heard the rule is...
...if your front foot crosses your back leg you have to go home. If it doesn’t you can throw home or to first.

Also true,
it’s 45 degrees going forward, but you can’t go back at all. Smith doesn’t have a “going back” move, though.

that scorer can give an E even if the throw bounces, if it was a “true” hop that the fielder really shoulda had. Scorer tonight, interestingly, is David Feldman.

I’m picturing Kubrick’s “Path’s of Glory” here.
They want to steal the land papers which is why they have tried to break in. But they had to give up after being bitten by Chhotu.

Why is Conrad on a major league roster?
I’m sure he’s a great guy, but he’s not a major league hitter. Or a major league fielder. Or a major league player in general… Plus he’s 28, so it’s not like he’s a prospect either. Please send him back down and bring up someone useful.
If they are playng him everyday at 3B anyways
why NOT call up Petit and have him play 3B…
facepalm.jpg
Play Cap'n Jack at 3B where he belongs
He’s a plus defender there. Bankston or Barton should be at 1st. I don’t care if Barton’s been a disappointment this year, he’s still better than Conrad and actually projects to be part of the future. Once he’s healthy, he should be back up

I had never heard of Buckethead until 3 hours ago when I looked up the wikipedia page for “Colma” and now you mention him…
The A's colors are green and gold.

Guillen was great for us
Played the stretch run with a super-painful broken hamate bone, and played great. The A’s got everything they could have hoped for in that pennant-drive trade.
