Let him handle Ramirez and wait for Breslow to face a lefty. The pitch count was right for it, no reason Bailey couldn’t start the 10th.

Actually, she did.
She came in early, got the comeback, but then didn’t stick around for the end.
That’s why you have to save the rally pic for the end of the game, so you don’t peak too early.

Just seemed pretty obvious to me --
Bailey stays in to face Ramirez and Nix and then Breslow gets the rest of the 10th and if there’s an 11th he starts the 11th, facing a slew of lefties.

Of course, for us to need a catcher, we’d have to see the top of another inning.
Hitting Nomar makes sure that doesn’t happen.

Not only that, but Powell is the backup catcher
If:
a. The A’s don’t lose because the next hitter gets out and
b. The A’s don’t win it in the 10th but exactly tie it AND
c. Suzuki gets so injured he has to leave the game AND
d. The game doesn’t end in the 11th
then Powell takes over as catcher and ZOMG the pitcher might have to bat, or be pinch hit for by Cunningham, in the 12th or 13th. So effing what?
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
Why not bring up another catcher and just have Powell take Nomar's spot?
Powell can play first and with AK and the Cros we have enough for 3B
I'm guessing the A's have an agreement with Nomar not to cut him
Which I don’t terribly mind if it gives Beane a good reputation among veteran players around the league. It just doesn’t mean he has to bat in these situations over Powell.

ABM was called for in that situation.
(Anything But…well, you can figure it out)
First he wanted to go to Ziegler but was told Ziggy wasn't ready
(he even instructed Suzuki to go out and talk to Anderson to stall, but then had to leave Anderson in to give up a key hit). Then he yanked Bailey when he didn’t need to and put in Breslow to face Alexei Ramierz — oops — instead of waiting a hitter or two to make the change. Then he decided that Nomar was a better bet than Landon Powell against Bobby Jenks. Bad day all around and all very costly blunders.

I've known a few that could.

I've heard it was Guinness, Baileys,and Irish Cream
I said "Why not baseball?" He said he hated baseball and demanded we NEVER speak of it again. He then, oddly enough, walked repeatedly into my fists and feet. So weird that he would do that! - TwistNHook, CGB
well, I am a non-drinker, so I'm probably the wrong one to ask...
or answer, as the case may be. I thought it was essentially a boilermaker with the Irish. The Baileys makes much more sense.

Guinness
Baileys or other Irish Cream
Irish whisky

Je ne sais pas aussi
also, being pathetically desperate in a foreign language was on my bucket list. so I can cross it off now. And I really need to stop making bucket lists when I’m chugging 40’s and smoking PCP whilst hanging off of the freeway overpass. But, I guess no one’s perfect..

pcp was A LOT of fun.
I could’ve abused the shit out of it had I been born and raised in an urban environment.

I LOVED it.
In all seriousness, it was a complete divorce from reality, perhaps even more than acid, though I loved acid too.
