Open Thread: Game 38 - A's at Rays (cont.)
by louismg on May 21, 2009 2:56 PM PDT
Email
PrintAfter five full innings, including a thunderstorm-related power outage, the A's and Rays are deadlocked at 2. Highlights thus far have included Braden's Ryan Sweeney impression to snag a failed bunt attempt, an RBI single by Adam Kennedy, and a sac fly by the aforementioned Sweeney. Despite the tie, Garza is racking up the K's, with 7, and has claimed Hannahan, Suzuki and Cust twice each.
Should the A's capture today's game, it will make for the season's first three-game win streak. Go A's!

It's pretty criminal that they're hitting right next to each other in the order.
"I’m Joey Devine, I’m what Joba Chamberlain would be if he was good and nobody had ever heard of him."
Eh
I’m not a huge fan of 2 auto outs right next to each other like that.
"I’m Joey Devine, I’m what Joba Chamberlain would be if he was good and nobody had ever heard of him."
A friend told me
that the reason my manager moved me down in the batting order, wasn’t because he thought I sucked but because they wated more consistency throughout the line up. Whatever. Apparently, he thinks i’m Crosby.
Bring Jerry AND Gio back!
baby, you can be my leadoff hitter anytime.

when you get your pitch, hit it! That was phat, he should have swung. In fact, I think he thought he got all of it, the way he hesitated. shiiiiiiiiit.

Not that kind of game
It worse when you never score never score never score, and the pitcher is wild, giving up hits.
Garza is looking decent. We just need the right guy at the plate at the right time…
…which is NOT Crosby (2-for-21 with RISP).

Here's a tip
When Bartlett comes up don’t look
a ground rule double followed by three unproductive outs, sounds like my sex life - dayzd toe
It was just a horrible pitch to Bartlett
A hanging slider on an 0-2 pitch in a “no HRs” situation (2 out, bases empty, “make ’em get three singles to score”).
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
Is there ever a time for a hanging slider?
It’s a bad pitch, morning noon, and night.
Just like every situation is "no HRs"
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
not really
Bases loaded, tied game, 2 outs in the 9th.
a walk is as good as a HR for the home team.
Unless we're hitting.

but he may get lucky and walk
Roundabout way of saying Hannahan is automatic out.
Sort of like “game over” when Eveland comes in. You just gotta know Trainman-speak.

Hannahan was trying to hit a home run from the on deck circle
He got this…

If a tree falls in a forrest and no one here's it...
If a Hannahan is not real hitter, than can he be in a hitter’s count?
Single works for me
Cabrera-time
Oakland Oakland!

We need more
Offense Explosion anyone?
Oakland Oakland!
Good, but really bad baserunning by Cabrera
Wheeler can’t get anyone out this year – his stuff looks terrible – and Suzuki was on deck. Just take the first and third and let Suzuki hit.

Can Braden pitch another inning?
This offense needs to give him a W
No, the Saag's commercial made me sad.
I’m happy with the top of the 8th inning.

F*&^^ing Hannahan....
he might have scored if he was paying attention. But then again, he didn’t suck at the plate. Which is probably confusing the crap out of him.

He had two throws to take a shot at coming home
I mean, at some point you have to.

A run down with two outs
means you make the attempt no matter what. But hell, being a third base without a glove was probably confusing the hell out of him.

Well, ultimately it's Cabrera's fault
Hannahan is probably doomed either way.

Maybe Cabrera was thinking Jack was going to draw a throw?

Not just you. I say they just bounce them to the plate from now on.

I’m tired of reading Cabrera out at second
