Open Thread: Game 85 - A's at White Sox (cont.)

As_kings_cal_tiny by louismg on Comment 254 comments

Just when it looked like Javier Vázquez was going to shut the A's out and strike out 20+ in the process, Jack Cust happened. With one Custian swing, the ball soared majestically into the right field seats in ChiTown, tying the game at 2-2. But the A's weren't done, as super-sub Donne Scutaro Murphy smacked a shot of his own into the left field bleachers, giving the A's a one-run lead.

Meanwhile, Cust and Ryan Sweeney have been doing their part in the outfield as well, keeping Duchscherer and team up by a single tally going to the sixth. Let's go A's!

I think Duke starts the 7th,

maybe have Embree/Casilla ready if needed, Ziggy for the 8th, Street for the 9th.

If Street can get a 5-out save,

he should have started the 8th inning, IMO.

Whether it works out or not, let's chalk this one up to...

...another example of bullpen mismanagement.

I know he’s a rookie but as long as Ziggy is getting people out he should be saved for late-game situations from here on out. Instead Geren opens with Embree and goes straight to Street after Embree gets into trouble.

except no way he does that. Street would want to strangle Geren. Not that that is a bad move either

1.96 ERA now

Who woulda thunk that four batters into the game.

That showed true grit to settle down. Barton helped with that line drive DP but apart from that DUke was very happy except when he saw Embree come in.

Duke

is GOOD AWESOME.

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

especially, listen to MLB. com

Gameday comments on the highlights of the first inning. The dissed Cust bigtime. Switch on the “Dye RBI double” and listen.

Then Cust gets the HR. The call was akin to noticing a beer vendor was throwing change to a customer…
monotone, flat..
