Around SBN: 2012 Budweiser Shootout Entry List Released

Open Game Thread - Game 122: A's vs. White Sox (cont.)

A's trail 2-1 going to the bottom of the 5th. Nibbles has been nibbling, Danks has been, uh ... danking ... and the game has crawled along uneventfully for nearly 2 hours at the halfway point.

After thinking about it

Ziggy would not be a good closer option because he is so capable of getting a DP in tough situations. I would also like to see him for two innings when necessary.

I would rather keep Ziggy for multi-inning situations

since he has shown his capability to pitch multiple innings in tight situations. Designate Devine as the conventional “9th inning closer” guy.
