I started it an inning ago, but it took a while to write
but yes, for the past batter or two, I was hitting refresh on the main page waiting for the thread to open up…. ;)
By the way, I’m having fun with frosting tonight. You will all be the beneficiaries of this on Friday.

See I really like him, I think it's the doubles swing he showed in his
first trip to the majors. He’s been terrible since though.
the only reason i can think of
is his hair.

Clearly you're looking at the same plate as the umpire.
That barely caught the outside part of the plate, and that’s very questionable.
Maybe not right down the pipe, but there is no doubt that you
have to at least swing at that pitch. It def caught some of the plate

It was unearned
Why the A’s are trailing:
- Dropped fly ball, not caught/saved throw on a steal = 2 runs allowed.
- Man at third, less than two outs: called out on strikes 3 times (Chavez, Buck, Holliday), DP one other time.

But it could be much worse. Randy Johnson gave up a 3 run homer to the Brewers pitcher today.

Honestly, I’d let Giambi, Chavez, and Cust hit and save Nomar for maybe Buck if it gets that far.

"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
