Open Thread: Game 38 - A's at Rays (cont.)
by louismg on May 21, 2009 4:00 PM PDT

9th Inning drama thread (to be open for potential extras, of course)...
The A's, having never led in the game, are now knotted at 3-3 with the Rays, following an RBI single from Orlando Cabrera that plated Bobby Crosby. Hannahan, unclear what to do in his rare appearance on the bases, was unable to extend the lead to 4-3, so we head to the 9th frame with the game up for grabs.
Braden, though he pitched well, has left the game, and will gather a much-desired no-decision.

OAKLAND — A’s Outfielder Rajai Davis has been placed on the 60-Day DL, retroactive to May 21st, following an MRI which discovered a major detachment of the frontal lobe from his medulla oblongata. Doctors claim the injury has been seen only once before in the previous 20 years, hearkening back to the famous Jeremy Giambi case.

Yeah, but who knows where people would've been if Davis scored on Giambi's hit?
Holliday’s probably at third and Giambi at second, and on Kennedy’s single Holliday would’ve scored instead of Davis. Maybe Giambi’s held at third so Sweeney’s walk would’ve loaded the bases instead of bringing Holliday in there. Or he might have scored, or might have been thrown out.

The one sure thing Beane was supposed to do, build a decent bullpen, he has failed at as well. Wonderful.
What about Barry?

I don't make anything of the WBC
Games were infrequent and practice time sketchy from what I understand. Before he got sick, Ziegler was pitching very well this season. He’s much more hittable than what he showed last year but he’s always going to be someone who has to rely on the defense to make plays, along with where the ball is hit. He’s not going to overpower anyone like Bailey can.

I’d have begun the ninth with Bailey as well. He’s a better end-of-game pitcher than Ziegler because of his stuff.

Depends on the situation
I’d like to keep him for spots where they need a double play, but it also sets up failing a lot and letting a lot of inherited runners advance or score if he can’t get it. I don’t like the idea of hoping so much that he can get two on one pitch that if he doesn’t it’s akin to failure.

What the game comes down to is that the A's
should have scored 8-9 runs. Crosby failed twice to make basic contact, once with the infield back and another time swinging through two BP fastballs with bases loaded, one out. Davis’ mistake was huge, because two runs would have scored on that play alone, with Kennedy and Sweeney coming up (singled, walked respectively as it turned out) and the inning spiraling out of control. Cabrera gave away the last out in the 8th against a pitcher who had nothing and wasn’t getting anyone out.

Am I trippin'?
Are we the AAAA’s? I really feel the decisions toward the end of the game were something of a minor league team. Did Geren manage the Rivercats? Maybe in the minor leagues it is common practice to have a different closer several times a week. For some reason, pitchers need to be told what role they have or everything goes to shit. There Geren goes again getting all happy thinking he can put anyone in in any situation. Bailey is great. Is he your middle relief or your closer? Brad Ziegler did good enough to save the game pretty quietly yesterday, and I believe would’ve been good enough today. Instead, Geren turns it into some minor-league type competition for a closing job and we lose the game. I’m pretty confident Ziegler is great when he pitches in closing situations, and he sucks when he doesn’t. Evidently, the same is with Bailey in mid-relief. It’s to bad you just can’t pawn them around like the minor leagues and that there really are consequences.
