Open Thread: Game 38 - A's at Rays (cont.)
by louismg on May 21, 2009 2:56 PM PDT
419 comments
After 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 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).

Garza is back out with nearly 100 pitches
in a 1 run game, I like that. I wish we would try more of that.

A good effort
That last inning took the brilliance of it a little
We should still be in front or at least tied had we someone who could hit the ball out of the infield in those situations.

I wouldn't say brilliant, in that he's made a couple costly mistakes,
but very, very solid yet again. He’s pitching like a solid #2.

Have Buck PH and then send him in RF, send Giambi to 1st and BoCro to 3rd. Not sure if the rules allow us to take Giambi out of DH and add Cust to DH…

No, but you just lose the DH and the pitcher is in the batting order
Which is a pretty good alternative to losing.

Better Rajai in the 11th of a tie game than Hannahan in the 9th of a game you’re losing.

And it’s not like there’s a great option off the bench. I’d rather have all the guys on the bench still available than make such a minor upgrade.

But then Omar signed Sheffield, so there’s hopes.
