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.

This just in: A'S MOVE RAJAI DAVIS TO 60 DAY DL
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.

So the right play for Rajai in that situation
is to go to 3rd and stand there. If it’s caught, go back to second, if not you can walk home. It’s pretty simple.
