still chafing over the “no play” call on Johjima’s should’ve-been-error, Ray calls Crosby’s error a “no play.”
Follows it up by saying, “Looks like it took a funny hop…changed direction suddenly…after it hit off of him…”
It's never easy.

Anybody know if Holliday misplayed the double?
Or not? I’m beginning to think he’s really, really mediocre defensively.
I needed a team so I wouldn’t turn into one of the eighty million pink hat-wearing Bud Light-drinking mulleted idiots at Fenway.
he played it perfectly fine.

I’m not listening to the radio … he didn’t look so great out there last night.

You must’ve missed the throw he made to cut a double into a single. He didn’t play anything that badly IMO.

Someone answer these two questions for me:
Why was Outman pulled so early and why the hekli s Crosby at third? I haven’t been able to watch intently today so I’ve missed something, clearly.
Yeah, why the hell was Outman pulled so early
and why did Garen leave him in so long???
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
Outman gave up about 6 rockets for outs
and more rockets that drove runs in
At least now people should see why he wasn't pulled

I prefer to call him 'special' utility.

Outman pulled because he was starting to get pounded
Crosby in to pull Giambi for better defense and to rest Jason, I assume.
Cedeno is a scrub...
why didn’t he come up to bat with bases loaded and no outs…

Did he REALLY just swing on 3-1???
With a pitcher who walks a TON of people!?!?!?

You need to take a strike there.

We were not a strong mental team last year
and I was hoping that would improve this season. Very frustrating.

I’d pay to see that.
Unless it’s fat baseball fans. Ugh
why are the A's grounding out on 3-1 counts?

To have a lead on Felix with Josh Outman pitching...Thats a win that you have to complete
Horrible loss

If you just understood baseball better all your other questions your, your... the, uh... the aliens, the conspiracies they would all, in their way be answered by the baseball gods.
look who is hitting...lol

Hey did you all notice all of the fans yesterday? He got a big cheer when they announced his name.
So is this the Tease?

nothing is impossible when it comes to double plays for Crosby
except on defense, of course.

Per Gamecast:
‘Orlando Cabrera advances to second on defensive indifference.’
Har.
He was drunk and exhausted, but he was critically acclaimed and respected.
Angels have bases loaded, two out, 5-4 B9
for Kendrick.

Crosby flys out
(big supprise)
(No I mean it, I thought he would make sure he got 2 outs)

i thought he hit the ball pretty good, opposite field.
just went right to someone

A's Lose
Chicago. Where the Dead can Vote. Where the Voters of Tomorrow are found in the Obituaries of Today.
Especially skipping Bailey and trying to stretch Casilla and Ziggy out
6 out save with no outs and bases loaded = fail
This is the 2nd game this year in which Bailey has NOT pitched
His arm will fall off by May if he pitches in 80% of our games.

We’re 2-3 just like the Angels are.

I wouldn't mind the Angels wearing out Papelbon
before he gets here Monday.

that was some at bat by Kendrick though.
thank goodness for that at least

How the f&%#$ does Papelbon not bury a splitter on one of 8 0-2 pitches?
a hitter is fouling off? Great battle, though. The Red Sox got very lucky.

Yeah...
Lineup is bad…Bullpen use today was worse.
"Their Triple-A rotation, led by Trevor Cahill and Brett Anderson, could be better than some big-league rotations; Michael Ynoa is the best Latin American prospect of the decade; 2008 draftees Jemile Weeks and Rashun Dixon bring much-needed tools to an advanced group of hitters." - BaseballProspectus.com
+1
bat Cust lower in the lineup!

I agree
The decision to bring in Crosby and move Nomar to 1B was bad. And then we have Crosby booting a sure groundball out, which is far too much reality for the fragile psyche of Willy Santiago Jairo Garcia Casilla

hey beane
can we get a refund on the harden, blanton, and holliday deals?
I just "watched" the entire game on gameday
what a waste of 3 hours. I can’t stand losing when I’m watching on tv or on the internet. at least at the game I have fun.

theres no upside in keeping crosby around
cabrera has played 150 games + in 7 of last 8 yrs.
crosby is being forced to play unfamiliar positions.
he still cant hit.
cut your losses, call up hannahan/petit/pennington
agreed. I think Billy needs to admit failure with Crosby and move on.
Just cut him loose already.

And Cust finishes on the on deck circle
Isn’t it a great idea for him to be batting so low? And TBuck, please start hitting again. I have faith in you. Where is the guy Nico proclaimed (and I agreed) “the best doubles hitter I’ve ever seen”?

Tbuck...redux of 2008 unfortunately
If Nomar and Matt Ho were stroking in a lot of runs, then TBuck would relax. Seeing Gee, Nomar and esp. MattHol fail, Buck starts feelin’ it…..and failing.
