Open Thread: Game 4 - Seattle at A's (cont)
by baseballgirl on Apr 10, 2009 7:53 PM PDT
Email
PrintAnderson had a great 1, 2, 3 inning to start his debut, but he had no luck in the second inning. Seattle put five on the board, thanks to a walk, a couple of bloop singles, and a smash to left. Rowland-Smith gave the A's a run (literally) in the first, and O-Cab showed he could get a run home from third; something that the other A's are struggling with. The A's have missed some big opportunities to score more, but it's still early.
Going to the third, Seattle 5, A's 2.

No no,
quite the opposite. I was hoping for minions to stockpile munitions, which kinda sounds like a conspiracy-theorist Dr. Suess.

In general, I'd be happy to have a Matt Holliday AB with the bases loaded instead of a Rafael Bettancourt AB with the bases loaded.
But not tonight.

How I've missed Chavez at third. Even if his bat is still mediocre,
there’s just that reassuring feeling that it’s an out when the ball is hit to third. Much like when it’s hit to Ellis.
No doubt
I’ve adjusted my expectations for him because of his D. I don’t think he’ll ever become the offensive player we all expected and I’m okay with that now.

Might have thought the
2nd baseman was going to make the catch running away from the plate. He may have had a chance to tag up and score in that case.

No. He was too far down the line and had to race back to the bag
giving him no chance to tag. Horrible timing.

"Princess" Felix has a 2.56 career ERA against the A's
So yes, he is all that. The only reason why he hasn’t won perennial Cy Youngs is because he hasn’t fully developed as a pitcher yet. The dude is only 22.
