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*

Gio's glove is pretty cool

Wow, nice, Emil.

That's a dive to make with 2 out, not leading off.

Be lucky to make it thru 4 innings
Nice to learn on the job but the poor kid is learning way before he’s ready.
I hate unproductive outs and the A's are producing them at record production

The whole team is frustrating
Gio is the future. We can’t unload on him yet.

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 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

Saarloos is the best way to lose this game.
Much rather see Gio than Saarloos.

Or he could light a fuse
and toss it into the Angels dugout and blow their team up.

No doubt the right move for the win...
but is it the right move for Gio?
The 2009 A's draft pick... getting higher every game.

Oh, and what does it say about Emil Brown
that he has a HR and 3 RBI tonight and I can’t wait to get rid of him? Something about an ill-advised dive and then walking over to retrieve the ball.

They show up in bunches, which in any other thread would be ok. But not good for the immediate reaction.

Wow. The guy really is having an “odd” year.
Looking forward to Spring Training and the hope of another World Series title.

Unfortunately, it looks like he will retire
So no draft choice as compensation. And I don’t see how any contender could possibly be interested at this point, though you never know. You have four days, BB.

I'm afraid that ship has sailed. I sure hope we didn't pass up on anything
that could have turned into something better than Old Embree.
