Open Thread: Game 57 - A's at Giants (cont)
by baseballgirl on Jun 12, 2009 8:27 PM PDT
Email
PrintThe A's have had chances all night to score, but they have been denied all over the place. Tim Lincecum has singled in the first run for the Giants, and the first run that Mazzaro has given up. He got into more trouble with a two-run single, and it's 3-0 Giants; going to the sixth. The A's have no one to blame but themselves for not at least getting on the scoreboard.

This is supposed to represent the inevitable 3 runs the A's will score this inning, by the way.

Hitters 6 thur 9 are equivalent of NL Pitchers hitting
Hitter #1 is a #9 hitter
Hitter #2 is a good hitter
Hitter #3 is a #5 hitter
and Hitter #4 is Matt Holliday
You are correct, Giambi is #5 and he is a #6 or 7 hitter
Ah well at least I can go to work not worrying the game is in balance.

I think it's because the next time the A's would want a pinch hitter,
it will be the 9th, and that’s Brian Wilson. So Barton would be the pinch hitter there, Nomar here. Plus, Nomar can’t play in the field so he’s a good guy to send up when the pinch hitter will leave the game.

He had all day to do that.

100% agree
here’s a good example…
rajai gets hit by a pitch leading off. hannahan up next, followed by mazzaro.
hannahan should’ve taken a couple of pitches, so rajai can steal second cuz lincecum doesn’t hold runners well. instead, hanny flies out and we sac bunt rajai to second.
dumb.
To me, what was dumber was Cabrera bunting for a hit
with a runner at second and two out. I mean, nice bunt and all but…? I don’t really agree about the importance of Rajai stealing just because if he gets to second you have Hannahan to drive him in and then Mazzaro. You feel that gives you a great chance to score?

I do try to be fair
No one could make tonight’s lineup look good in any configuration, and the only questionable decisions were made by the 3rd base coach and the SS.

You are always fair Nico
it’s just not a sentence I ever thought I’d hear you say

There's also a chance Rajai is caught stealing or picked off
You may think stealing off Lincecum is automatic, but Rajai is extremely talented at failing in things he does well.

Yeah, but if you don't want to count on hits with RISP
then Rajai has to steal second AND third, AND Hannahan has to hit a sac fly.

And then hope for a hit with RISP from Hannahan or Mazzaro?
Isn’t that “hoping for hits with risp,” and from two unlikely sources?

Didn't he get on with one out?

what odds?
letting Hannahan, Davis, and Cabrera bat in the lineup?

I blame sending the runner
Could have had 2nd/3rd with 0 outs…
Shenanigans!

Normally, I'd support sending the runner there as it took perfect defense
But not with Holliday/Giambi coming up. If it had been Davis/Hannahan or Hannahan/Mazzaro coming up, I’d say it was the right call. As is, you have to be sure in order to send him and so I think it was a poor decision.

No fair! You can't have 1 pitcher go the whole game
Isn’t it against the rules? But Geren said…

I see improvement: The A's are now losing in only 2 hours.

One day we will have a team with some hitters on it
When I don’t know
Having said that, if we cannot be that geriatric Randy Johnson then there’s something wrong.
On Sunday, Anderson better pitch a hell of alot better than he has or we will be owned again. We got to Cain at the Coli that time but he usually owns us
We get to _be_ that geriatric Randy Johnson?
Cool!

Of course they do.
What I like is that I’m getting to see it. In one or two years I’ll get to say I saw it happen. I stuck in there. Thats important to me.
In other words....

Looking for some hitters in our system, we have possible answers!
Carter hit HR #9 for Midland while Weeks hit a grand slam (HR #4).

That was a fun game.
A great start to the 9 games in 10 series for you all. I think we take the next two.
