Open Thread: Game 132 - A's at Angels (Cont.)
Rajai Davis made his impact known in the first at bat of the game, lining a single of Joe Saunders' hand, and quickly following with a stolen base. Whether rattled or bruised, Saunders never really recovered, giving up a run in the first, and a glorious five-spot in the second, including a two-run double by Bobby "All he does is hit doubles" Crosby and a two-run tater by Emil "I am a born 3rd place hitter" Brown.
Now up 6-0 in the bottom of the 4th, the A's are looking to add on, while Gio Gonzalez quietly goes about his business, keeping the Angels offense off the board, with only a single hit.
Shhh - don't disturb the mojo! *quiet* go a's */quiet*

This is terrific managing, IMO
Instead of going to a long-reliever (Saarloos), Geren is treating it like this inning is “the inning” and going for immediate damage control – actually my choice would have been Ziggy, which is why I don’t like him closing. But Embree can go 2 IP, and if he’s on his game can diffuse the rally.

I was recently promoted and our CEO from our parent
company came to town. I was trying to stay out of the dinner conversation until he mentioned that he lived in the Oakland area during the late 80’s and early 90’s. We dominated the conversation the rest of the night with stories of Eck, Moore, Stewart, Welch, Weiss, etc.
I brought a picture that I took with Korach the next day and I think I’m on his good side! Still avoided much discussion about the new bonus plan :-(
Looking forward to Spring Training and the hope of another World Series title.

drinking lots of alcohol since the dinner meeting lasted about 3 hours.

Kind of funny to see Geren playing this game like it's
the 7th game of the World Series.

Besides the series win issue
Bob has probably looked at the September schedule and realized that the A’s won’t play a single game that means diddley-squat in the standings after this Sunday’s game vs. the Twins. So, sometimes you have to manufacture a bit of intensity.

Given that Ziggy was just stretching, I wonder if
Geren’s plan is Street/Ziggy the 7th/8th and Devine the 9th. That’s more along the lines of what I’d like to see in general.

Ziggy could be far better used as a fireman or whenever Geren needs him, really.

This wouldn't be a bad time to pinch run
and actually try to steal a run – except for the fact that all our pinch runners happen to be in the starting lineup.

Quite frankly...
a team like the A’s can’t afford to carry any players as ‘pinch runners’. They have shown a great inability to ‘steal’ a run throughout the season. Maybe we should carry a couple of ex-cons on the roster to ‘steal’ those runs!

One would wonder....
why Rajai Davis would not have been put into the lineup more often this season, given the A’s constant offensive struggles. It seems like they don’t ever factor speed into the equation as it puts pressure on the defense in several different ways. Maybe once Rickey is back in the fold there will be a return to an emphasis on speed in the offensive game.
