A's Come Back To Win 4-3 While I Watch Rivercats Game

by Nico on Aug 29, 2009 11:20 PM PDT

Just got back from the Rivercats game, where the Triple-A's prevailed 9-5 (Carter and Cardenas each had two hits, while Wallace had three). Sorry that there's no recap yet, but I'm not going to do one since I missed the entire game and for me to write the recap would be the equivalent of, well, Angel Hernandez trying to umpire.

Baseballgirl, who was at the game, should have a real recap at some point. What I'll add for now is that Brett Wallace had only two chances at 3B tonight. He missed both. (A swinging bunt single on which he never got off a throw, and a throwing error that allowed a run to score.) Carter didn't have a single chance at 1B, so I can't say how well he can or can't play the position. It was nice to see 7 hits from the future 2-3-4! And Clayton Mortensen looked terrible.

Nice win tonight for the A's!

bunts and throws are things that first base people need to deal with too.

There was just nothing of import

I was hoping to see Wallace and Carter challenged to go to their left or right, and neither one ever had to do either. Basically Carter caught some throws from Cardenas and Petit, which didn’t tell me anything.

what about cardenas at short?

He played 2B tonight and looked ok

He gave ground a couple times, which concerned me, but each time fielded the ball cleanly and made the play. Honestly, it wasn’t the kind of game, or seats (1B side) where you could gauge a whole heck of a lot.

For myself,

I would have preferred “Wallace made Brooks Robinson-esque plays the whole night through”, but there were wins in the top 2 levels for the A’s, so I won’t get greedy.

And you did miss a pretty good game from the AAAA team.

By the way, you totally had Pam fooled with the Powell stealing home bit.

What no mention of seeing me there? ;-)

Unless I just go completely unnoticed. So sad.

Mortensen was way too hittable. Carter let one through the legs a couple nights ago.

I finally got to tell Hendu the beef jerky story from one of the rare times he played RF in the Coliseum (a few of us coaxed him into taking some jerky in a baggie we tossed over, then we saw him passing it around in the dugout during the next half inning). I don’t think he remembered it but he was nice all the same.
