Open Thread: Game 152 - A's vs. Angels

PrintLos Angeles Angels at Oakland Athletics, Sep 18, 2008 12:35 PM PDT
After last night's awesome, very satisfying come-back win (well, all except the part where our Ziggy got hit by Teixeira; who is no longer a favorite of mine), the A's look to sweep (yes, I said SWEEP!) the Angels, and take the season series, if you can believe it.
Shoddy defense by the Angels helped ice the game in bottom of the ninth last night for the A's, and while I understand being done with the season, I was still shocked at the poor play shown from a team headed to the playoffs, especially from Anderson. I hope it continues.
Josh Outman will get another start this afternoon, following his very nice starting debut against Texas last week, where he went five innings and got the win. The A's will be facing Joe Saunders, one of the few pitchers that they were able to hit in the terrible month of August.
September is a whole new month for the green and gold, as the A's have won seven out of ten games, and look for their fifth straight in today's contest. They certainly have been more fun to watch, and there are promising signs for next season and beyond.
LET'S GO OAK-LAND!

Ahhh!
No Ryan, no Travis, no Dale?! Oh well, it’s not on TV anyway. They can all be BFFs on the bench today.
Harden right now has given up no hits, 1 R, and has 80+ pitches
maybe Gallagher and him was more even than any of us imagined

I get everything set up, figure out a way to get the radio working in the office to listen to the game, and for some reason it isn’t on here.
Even a bad lineup is better than no baseball.

"I was right and you were wrong." - Ray Fosse
Maybe
they got pissed off with my fanpost accusing them of hiding an injury, so they’re going to have Harden throw his arm out in a totally meaningless game.
by VORP is too nerdy on Sep 18, 2008 12:51 PM PDT up reply actions
It was a weird one
As for the walks – word is, he was nibbling (not being wild) and the umps were squeezing him. Gameday showed that to generally be the case. He was hitting 94/95/96 at times, which is a little reassuring, and didn’t sit in the 80’s as much as he did in his last outing. It seems like he’s gone back to throwing his slider a good amount, though, and that’s worrying as I thought he said he’d scrapped that pitch awhile ago because it puts too much strain on his arm.
Leaving him in for 115 pitches was retarded. I wanted to go see him pitch @ NYM next week but chances are his arm is no longer attached to his body.
NIce job by Outman there
Finally got that curve over a few times. Took a few pitches to get a feel for it

Speaking of this...
How often is diving for a ball/running into a wall really worth it, compared to the likelihood for injury?
by VORP is too nerdy on Sep 18, 2008 1:15 PM PDT up reply actions
It's a lot easier to crash into a wall when you usually start out 6 feet from the warning track
by thejd44 on Sep 18, 2008 1:17 PM PDT up reply actions
And that starting position opens up the possibility of diving catches infront
of him for web gems. Of course, when he gets it wrong Kotsay rounds all four bases. :-D

After a couple of good games against LAAA
it appears that the A’s have turned their attention to getting themselves tuned up for the Mariners series this weekend.
You'd think that the young A's
would have been ready for that play since they more recently played Little League.
Well I wasn't paying attention to the start of the play (much like the A's),
but it was a pickoff I believe: ended up with the guy on first being caught in a run down and Hunter breaking for home – only nobody was covering first. So Hunter stole home and the runner got back to first.
Jario throws to 2nd then sat down on the mound
to watch the dandelions grow.
Quinlan on 1st..hunter on 3rd...
Quinlan goes halfway….Jairo steps off..throws to first…..runs him to second as hunter goes home….2b chases quinlan back to first..no one covering and too late to throw hom.

The same reason why john lackey started the other night.
You can’t just simply shut it down once you clinch a playoff birth because that would be just stupid. My point is that when people say that K-Rod has been overworked they are completely wrong, the fact of the matter is that the Angels just happen to win a ton of close games.
