Open Thread: Game 54 - A's vs. Twins (cont)

PrintAnderson has settled in, and is pitching a gem, just like our pitchers do in Mazzaro World. But our offense looks terrible against Baker (except for a nice double by Rajai). That needs to change. A's down 1-0, going to the bottom of the fifth.

That run shouldn’t have scored, really. Cust’s throw should have gone through, Cab should have had that ball…

AN was so much better before I got here.
I am constantly amazed
At Kuiper’s stupidity. He constantly makes mistakes like this – calling things home runs when they’ve been caught, screwing up the count or how many outs there are, etc. Everything about him annoys me.

Not surprising - any start where you can't get your pitches down,
you’re going to run out of luck sooner or later. And I wouldn’t have pulled him till now either. Bringing in Casilla is just asking for a run-scoring WP. Either Anderson was going to one more out in him or he wasn’t. Bleah.
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
Anderson has been the least impressive of the rookies to date
Very, very hittable and makes more mistakes than the others so far
That's basically true.
But for a young guy, I think he’s still got potential.
A free society is one where it is safe to be unpopular.
He hasn't been the least impressive to me, personally.
But he has certainly had the poorest statistical results.

Depends how you're judging it.
Cahill had no clue where the ball was going for the majority of his starts. He seems to have turned a corner though. Anderson is clearly just very close to being dominating, but can’t quite figure it out.
Exactly - well put.
Anderson has a great ability to pitch on the inner half of the plate, but he didn’t do it much tonight.

Twins cooperated
And the A’s are sending up Hannahan, Davis, and Crosby.

This month before tonight
we have scored 44 runs in June which is good for second.
We are hitting .230 before tonight and now .217 for the month.
In other words, our hitting sucks goats balls and our great pitching has carried us this month
After one game?
Win 7 – easy street. Lose 1… shake things up a bit?

I think Sunday for Buck
unless they keep him in the minors like last year…
Ellis to start rehad soon I think. Nomah not even running yet, but took swings the other day
Yay, Hannahan!
Bring him home, Rajai!

If that happens tonight, I'd expect the entire Twins pitching staff to be DFA'd tomorrow

Raul Ibanez has 20 home runs in the NL
I know Philly is a homer haven but the NL would make any AL hitter look good
How many lawn-darts has he thrown?

This game is a great example of how baseball should be implementing
my excellent ideas, one of which is a hole just bigger than a baseball somewhere on the OF fence that if you hit it through it’s a ten-run HR.

Makes this feel like a win for me. I’m okay with the win streak and not getting shut out at home.

4 walks, 3 hits and an error, all with a 10-run lead.

Should I keep the Rally Cotillard coming?
I feel like it’s getting kinda old, but I don’t want to mess with success…
For the love of Flying Spaghetti Monster
YES

Nathan vs. Hannahan
That should go well. Then Rajai Davis can tie it with a HR.

Oh that’s right, Rajai and Hannahan aren’t major league hitters.

oh, right
our fill-ins are bad at hitting. I forgot for a moment.

Not really. He inherited a situation that was spiraling out of control,
threw 7 pitches and made it look easy.

Expecting Hannahan to reah base twice in the same inning
is like winning the lottery without buying a ticket. It aint going to happen.
This guy better not be playing in an NL park. Having him, Davis and the pitcher is going to be pathetic.
Good to put some runs on the board and use their pen a little.

I'm going to applause for the effort
even though I didn’t follow the game till the end
I saw 10-5 and thought it was over… till I noticed “bottom of the 9th”… OMG
Maybe it was me who snuffed the rally cause I went on Yahoo MLB when Hanny was batting again :(
Oh well, it was fun at the end anyway.

i wish we had a pinch hitter
cant we fill in a spot on the roster with some fat dh who cant move but can hit a homerun every once in a while
i am willing to bet that the a’s are the only team in baseballl who would keep a raja davis equivalent in the game in that situation
