Open Game Thread: Game 121: A's vs. White Sox
by notsellingjeans on Aug 15, 2008 6:15 PM PDT
209 comments
The A's open a three-game series against the White Sox tonight at the Coliseum. The 55-65 A's send Dallas Braden to the mound, while the White Sox counter with 6'5", 230 lb. right-hander Gavin Floyd. Floyd has been successful thus far in '08 (12-6, 3.84 ERA, 1.26 WHIP), but has been roughed up for five earned runs in each of his last two starts.
If you see the lineups up before I do, feel free to post them.
Go A's!

I'm struggling with that
On one hand, I think Ellis is on a decline and his offense isn’t anything special anyway. He’s replaceable for sure. On the other, the A’s probably can’t replace his defense and they have pitchers who sorta require infielders who can pick it up.

Nice at bat, stolen base, and he picked up Ellis (another failed Ellis at bat) by tagging on the pop up to shallow right. I guess that makes up for running into a double play in the first inning.

Two great ABs, rabbit speed to steal second and again to get to third. Everyone else, unfortunately, sucks.

I agree, except for the boneheaded running straight into the tag in the first inning
If he stops, there’s almost certainly no double play.

That's not true, though - it's a DP either way
Sharp two hopper to second, pretty basic 4-6-3.

He still made the wrong play
Once Ramirez committed to the tag, Patterson is supposed to stop. At that point, Ramirez either has to chase him down to get the out or go to first and hope they can get Patterson at second on a tag play.
People like to ridicule Hawk for a lot, but when it comes to fundamental stuff like that, he’s usually spot on.
by thejd44 on Aug 15, 2008 8:08 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs
We struggle with this particular scenario quite often.
It’s not about whether the DP play will be avoided. It’s about putting forth your best effort to “try” and avoid the DP.

Exactly
It’s not the worst play in the world. It’s not as bad as one of Emil’s blunders. I guess boneheaded is a bit harsh. But there’s a lesser of two evils in this scenario, and he didn’t do that.
I just want somebody on the A’s to not just be fast or a base stealer, but a great base runner.

fitting in very well with this team when there are cheaper options available during a rebuilding project.

That pitch was a good 8 inches inside at least
It tailed back “over the plate,” but AJ caught the ball inside.
The one strike to Hannahan was high, too. Yay bad home plate umpiring!

Sorry, but that was 1000000% Hannahan's fault
He had 6 days to make that throw and he again threw it like someone just took a sledgehammer to his right arm. Barton saves him most of the time. He’s not always going to pick that ball out of the dirt.

It's not always the fault of the 1B if he fails to make a clean pick
In fact, it usually shouldn’t be. You just see it happen so often you take it for granted but throws in the dirt or off the cutout can be difficult to handle.

Unbelievable...
Ok, I’ve got to “vent.” The A’s get the leadoff man on every inning and yet can’t score? Oh my golly that is pathetic. Can’t they at least try to move the runner over with fewer than two outs? Hannahan’s act is getting annoying too: “Hannahan steps out… taps his right spike, taps his left spike…grabs his right sleeve, adjusts his right batting glove, adjusts his left batting glove…walks toward the plate, stares at the barrel of the bat….steps in…AND…AND…AND… flys out like a first grader. "HE GONE!” For once I think the Hawk Harrelson is right on the mark. This is a team that has scored 130 fewer runs than the Sox and they don’t even play like they want to win. By the way, can someone from the A’s please give Hannahan a pair of gloves that fit, so he DOESN’T HAVE TO KEEP ADJUSTING THEM!!!
by Flamethrower on Aug 15, 2008 8:24 PM PDT reply actions 0 recs
I think the A's have had a runner in scoring position with less than 2 outs three times this game
Moving them over isn’t the problem.

Then Barton chases a bad ball on 2-1, takes strike three
and acts like he knows the strike zone better than the ump.
