Open Thread: Game 132 - A's at Angels (Cont.)

As_kings_cal_tiny by louismg on Comment 320 comments

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.

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.

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.

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!

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

Cust

Because he’s the one playing for the A’s right now. Why would I want the Phil’s to win?

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.
