Open Thread: Game 55 - A's vs. Twins (cont)
by baseballgirl on Jun 10, 2009 8:56 PM PDT
Email
PrintThanks to Rajai Davis, the A's have taken the slimmest of leads. Braden went seven full, making likely the last play of his night getting an out on a bunt by sliding into it and making a strong throw. Web gem!
3-2 A's going to the bottom of the seventh.

So it's going to be Wuertz for two hitters, Breslow for two
Trouble is, I imagine Span will hit for Gomez (though he did leave the game yesterday, don’t know if he’s available), and Kubel / Buscher are also on the bench. So Wuertz may end up facing 1-2 lefties.

I've no issue with that.
Braden threw 100 last time out. He went 7 innings today, job done. It’s just unfortunate that Wuertz gave up a home run – he’d be the reliever I’d go to if you don’t trust Ziegler to get out lefties.
I don't mind it as much...
… But if he’s letting a pitcher that’s on his second start go over you’d think you’d let the guy with the most experience to do so as well.
Well perhaps and clearly there's an argument both ways as the game is now tied.
For mine though if you can’t trust the pen to get six outs you’re always in trouble. With so many rookies in the rotation Braden’s going to have to start the whole season, there’s no need to abuse him if you can avoid it.
Fire Geren Now
Braden was under 100 pitches. You want Kubel to stay on the bench. The key outs were going to be Mauer and Morneau— do you want Breslow? or Braden to face them?
STUPIDITY
Braden should have started the inning to keep Gomez in the game,
or they should have gone to Bailey for the 1-4 hitters because if you get through them you’re fat city. Wuertz and Ziggy needed to be avoided because Gardenhire had the ability to send up 4 straight lefties if he wanted.

The other way to do it
if he was worried about Braden’s fatigue— was have him face Gomez and Harris— who were a combined 0-6 against him, keep Kubel on the bench, then go to Breslow vs. Mauer and possibly Morneau.
Or just go to Bailey for those two -
go to your best pitcher there.

at least we have a chance for our first walk-off win. normally we’d have like 4 by now
Never, Never, NEVER give up
Don't get ahead of yourself.
We can’t walk off until next inning.
Hopefully we’ll score in this one.
Have we really had no walk off wins?

nice job matt
If you had a lineup of 9 Jack Custs who hit(Cust career average) .239 AVG, .382 OBP, and .475 SLG, then your team would score 6.12 runs per game-totalling to 991runs a season.The 08 rangers lead the majors in runs score with 901.
WOW IS CROSBY A BETTER 1B THAN BARTON?

if he hits HR, we’re in the division race and we keep him.
if he makes an out, we give up ’09 and trade him
if he gets on base, i just don’t know

It is everyone's first instinct
to blame Geren for everything that goes wrong.
But I didn’t think his decisions were unreasonable. And we know Braden’s stomach was bothering him.
Wuertz, at the moment, is our set-up guy. It’s not insane to hope a sinkerball pitcher won’t give up a home run in the two hitters he was scheduled to face.
And Bailey, our best closer, has been worse.
Why isn't Ziggy the set-up guy, though?

I have noticed
that everyone always gets mad at Geren, but everyone has a different idea of what he should have done.
27 innings, only two homers allowed
I didn’t feel like it was a big mistake at the time, so I’m going to blame Geren now.
okay, I'll grant his decision-making process has been okay tonight,
but in the meta-sense, do we win with Geren as our manager?

KK sums it up
Talking about the offense.
They suck this month. Hitting under .223. That is pathetic. But for the rookies and their great pitching, we would be 12 or 13 under .500 by now.
But they keep on trotting garbage for hitters out there so what do you expect.
This is what happens when you think it's a good idea to throw a guy out there all the time
He had like 3 straight days of 20 pitches, so many IP. He’s this year’s Ziegler.

I agree with what you are saying
but the way this team is NOT hitting, we won;t need Bailey tomorrow.
They need a swift kick in the arse (the hitters) for being pathetic
I think Cahill will pitch well tomorrow
we just need these pricks to get more than 3 or 4 runs
Totally agree. He is an absolutely horrible manager
He took over a team that had 8 straight winning seasons and has been a loser ever since,
The GM deserves alot of blame for this lame ass bullpen
Wow that was like watching your GF make out with the starting quarterback
and you cant go anywhere because she’s giving you a ride home. Painful!

whoa, during the giants/dbacks game
a girl just ran onto the field and she was grabbed by three security guards (one with a hold of her wrist, another with a death grip on the back of her neck, and the other running alongside) and quickly escorted away
I was amazed they showed it – I thought they weren’t supposed to

You can always tell when the A's are losing
by the directions and topics covered in the game thread.
It will always cover the important things in life.
Bad spellers of the world untie.
It cracks me up that you asked this question.
Nico: Okay. We have twelve hours to make a really big pickle.
was that a strikeout? Or a grand slam?
I’d argue the call.
Okay, I don't see the point of this
Giambi can’t hit a solo 3-run homer.
Hitting has regressed last 4 games
2 hits, 6 hits, 5 hits, 5 hits. Somehow we won 2 of those games.

Dear Trevor Cahill
Best of luck tomorrow, I sincerely hope you go 9 innings and give up only a couple of hits max.
You are so fucked with this offense if you think you are going to get any run support but good luck.
Watching my team's manager get schooled by the opposing manager:
Not my idea of a good time.

"No matter what I talk about, I always get back to baseball." - Connie Mack
Remember the spring previews?
From cbssports
[Beane] then made two under the radar signings in Russ Springer and Micheal Wuertz. This added some veteran arms to an already good bullpen and will give Oakland once again one of the strongest bullpens in baseball.
"No matter what I talk about, I always get back to baseball." - Connie Mack
I like Wuertz
He was set up to fail tonight, plus he made a bad pitch. He’s done a great job overall.

But "set up" is literally the name of his job.
I whine, but yeah, I’ve been digging his work this year as well.
