Open Thread: Spring Training Game 3 - A's vs. Brewers

Baseball_tiny by baseballgirl on Comment 307 comments

Cleats_small_medium

My new softball cleats would like everyone to know how dedicated I am to the team this year; they're not white, but they are green and gold. That's my contribution; I think it will really make a difference.

Anyway, there's a game today (who gets tired of hearing that?!)! The A's open in front of their home fans for the first time this Spring Training, as they face off against the Brewers (again).

We get our first look at Dana Eveland, as he takes the mound for the A's against Manny Parra, a ten-game winner for the Brewers in his first full season last year.

The A's are looking to score some runs, and not to knock the longball, but it would be nice to see some runs put on the board in a variety of ways today.

Lineups:

Brewers

Kendall, C
Duffy, CF
Hart, C, RF
Fielder, 1B
Nixon, LF
McGehee, C, 3B
Counsell, 2B
Lamb, DH
Escobar, SS

Athletics

Davis, CF
Buck, RF
Holliday, LF
Giambi, 1B
Cust, DH
Suzuki, C
Crosby, SS
Dillon, 3B
Pennington, 2B

Game Day Link

Let's go Oak-land!

I'm glad the guys in the cubes next to mine are all out of the office.

I get to turn my little radio on ‘speaker’ mode rather than wear headphones. Listening to the first broadcast of Spring Training gets me excited about the year.

I was on the ball this morning and sent in my radio question early

Asked about Mike Gallego on the coaching staff. I hope he can improve our infield defense. Gags was a great fielder; his only shortcoming was literal: couldn’t make a play on a ball hit higher than about 8.5 feet off the ground.

Is anyone else really excited to see Holliday, Giambi and Cust all in the lineup at the same time? Sometime next week, we should get those three + Chavez.

by HigherPie on Feb 27, 2009 11:42 AM PST reply actions   0 recs

I'm actually excited about the first 7 players in the lineup

Should have better offense than yesterday, which was too close to the ’08 performance (or lack thereof).

I haven't seen anyone on the A's propose Cust for the two-spot

(not that I’ve seen everything written about what the A’s people say!!) Most of the time I see Sweeney penciled in that spot, occasionally Buck (and he’s there today).

When Billy said the Angles were "the team to beat"

I was distracted by a thing and thought he said “The Angels have Hasheem Thabeet” which made me temporarily worry about our pitchers getting fastballs past him…

I don't know if you got that from the radio

but if you’re relying on gamecast for pitch counts I wouldn’t. They only show the hit where contact was made, or the three strikes of K.

well the a's had to finish batting first (6 minutes)

and then they had to take the field, so ~3 minutes.

and there’s no chance trot nixon or casey mcgehee could ever manage a base hit against any halfway decent pitcher, even one jinxed by you.
