Open Thread: Game 70 - A's vs. Giants (cont)

PrintThe only rule about facing Tim Lincecum: Don't give up any runs. Mazzaro opened the game with two, 2-run innings, putting the A's in a 4-0 hole. Giambi has homered to get one run back, but the A's have six innings to score three more.

It is not [Hawk Harrelson's] fault that his genius goes unappreciated by uncultured louts like you. -Nick
Well, how many of you really expected to have a chance against Lincecum tonight?
"If Vin Mazzaro comes anywhere near me with shaving cream he’s gonna be coming away with a bloody stump" – Dallas Braden
He is throwing too many strikes
and too many good pitches for this lineup to get much of anything
Which boils down to: he's a very good pitcher and this is a group of very bad hitters.

I mean, we’ve “tipped our caps” to much, much, much, much worse.

By tipping your cap you mean cursed out our offence, right?

I can live with losing to Lincecum
It’s getting shut down by Correia, etc, that bugs me

agree 100%
Lincecum is a tremendously good awesome pitcher. I mean, the guy won the CY Award last year while playing for a real bad team. Losing tonight, while painful to watch, would not exactly be a surprise. Last Sunday’s loss was much harder to take.

For the Gnats?
I would assume Molina.

It's a trade that's not working out for either party.

Certainly I suspect he is over-rated
Has Coors-itis

I think it's AL itis.
Just look at Manny – he turned into a monster in the NL. He was always one of the better hitters in the AL, but last year he was otherworldly for the Dodgers.

Wouldn't even think about offering him one.
Some motherfcukers are always trying to ice skate uphill - Blade.
He turned down a king's ransom from the Rockies.
He’s going to want similar terms here and quite frankly he’s not worth it.

No im not not saying the A's
will sign him, and I dont think they ever were…
but if I was a GM and needed a LF to push my team over, I would definetly pay him what he is worth.

Last time these two pitched against each other in S.F
the game lasted 2 hours and 2 minutes. Shortest game I ever went to. This game may be the same.
Those Mulder-Buehrle games were quick ones
when they faced each other
If you use career numbers as a baseline
than Holliday should get smoking hot at some point this season. Unfortunately it will probably happen after he is traded for another “prospect” that never pans out.

Take away the Coors factor
and add the AL factor and he will need to get very hot to be worth what he and Boras want.
The economy will not help much either
Things may get a hell of a lot worse before they get better. I believe they will.

Good for Geren, Nomar blew it.
Yeah, but with Nomar you know what you're going to get:
He’s going to swing early in the count, make contact, and probably hit the ball hard. (And with Lincecum-Hannahan, you’ll get a K.) So you take Nomar as he is and hope he finds a hole; he didn’t.
I like Cindi. A. She never pretends to know more than she does. B. She has unbridled enthusiasm for her "Hotties," and isn't afraid to show it. -IM4Oakgal

You need someone a bit patient at that point and someone who can actually run. Nomar is neither. And Normar is too rusty to rely on.

ok, so, like, that was never out
but Geren’s running toward the umpire with arms outstretched in supplication was one of the funniest things i’ve seen in a while
Great catch.
FUCK
These ain't your father's A's.

Only two LOB this time.

That was a very bad call
by a good ump (Mike Reilly). Reilly had a clear look, too.
I like Cindi. A. She never pretends to know more than she does. B. She has unbridled enthusiasm for her "Hotties," and isn't afraid to show it. -IM4Oakgal
Didn't appear to actually look at the transfer.
Which is probably why he missed the call
"I’m Joey Devine, I’m what Joba Chamberlain would be if he was good and nobody had ever heard of him."
The "neighborhood play" gives him that
If he had caught the ball cleanly, we wouldn’t have any issue with where his feet were.

I need to stretch somebody’s hamstring.

really fucked us
I want the league to see, the drunk opium pig, worst call I’ve seen in a decade, easily.
Although I do think you're being a little harsh on alcohol and opium.
Those are good things
I don't know about the worst call ever
umps always give infielders a break when I runner is trying to break up a play.

I agree it is the wrong call
but it happens very fast. I’m more mad at the hitters leaving all those guys on base.
