Open Thread: Game 89 - A's vs. Angels
by Nico on Jul 18, 2009 12:45 PM PDT
Email
PrintVin Mazzaro has a national audience to which he will throw today. Jered Weaver, slightly more accustomed to these things, brings a 10-3 record to the mound in a season where he, like the A's Dallas Braden, has stepped it up to another level in 2009.
Following an Angels' loss in which Rajai Davis stole third on a lazy lob back to the mound from catcher Jeff Mathis, and also scored from first on an errant Joe Saunders pickoff throw, you can't help but wonder how Mike Scioscia addressed his players, or perhaps the post-game spread, after the game. You also have to wonder if the pickoff error might help convince the Angels that their unique practice of having the 1Bman "sort of hold the runner, sort of not" isn't so much "unique" as it is "really dumb."
As for today's lineup? Let's just say that the A's aren't going for defense.
{Note: Apologies in advance. The change in starting time, from 6:05pm to 1:10pm, wreaks havoc with my non-A's life -- apparently I actually have one -- and so today's recap may be a bit late.}

OMG, I didn’t believe the TV schedule, but it looks like they really are showing the A’s game on regular network TV here.
Too bad I have to leave at 3:00 :-( Still, part game on TV is better than no game.

Through July 6, there had been 50 home runs hit over the left field wall of Angel Stadium. That ranked fifth in the American League in terms of most home runs hit in that area.

Wow What an Inning!!!
Little Leagueish at best by the A’s. Why are Giambi and Cust in the lineup instead of Davis and Hairston? We have two slugs playing that give the A’s a sloth identity and that is reflected in the energy and “athleticism” on the field. Oh yeah, we also have the guaranteed 2-4 Ks between the two.
Last night team speed put the pressure on the Angels and created an energy unlike that displayed by A’s all year.. Today’s lethargic lineup is aseelp and pathetic.
Geren should really be on someone’s ass for this type of play.
I think Hairston has a sore wrist today.

Giambi’s line – 2-4, 2b, R, BB
Holliday – 2b, HR, 2 RBI, BB, 2 SB, E
Cabrera – 2b, R, RBI, BB
Optimistic...
If they continue to do well -
if they remain consistent instead of a disappointment – perhaps the tide of discontent will change direction!
