Hey, I just bought the team from Lew Wolff... who wants to play third?
well played tonight en
Chris Carter entered a villiage where an ogre had devoured all the crops and livestock, and Chris Carter asked the people of the village, "Have you no beasts of labor with which to pay tribute me?" And the people answered, "No, the ogre has taken our livestock," and with one mighty swing of his bat Chris Carter felled the ogre, and Chris Carter did proclaim, "Let my people be free," and it was so. - Aufheben

not sure what he was thinking there
He wasn't thinking
That was the problem.
I can see him doing that early in the game but this is the 9th and that pitch should have been driven not ridden into the catchers glove.
And to top it off, he starts to throw the bat away like he's taken ball four
Is there a pin-sized hole in the middle of the strike zone I didn’t know about?

Sammy Sarcasm replies: I think the general idea is to take the balls but swing at the strikes,
and to put the ball in play when an out can score a run. The fact that the Royals weren’t throwing strikes at one point doesn’t really excuse Cust giving himself the “take sign” on a crucial 3-2 pitch down the middle at another.
It’s not that the A’s should have scored a fourth run in every chance they got — but they should have scored in one of them.

Shoot Babbit just called jay marshall shawn marshall.....LOL
They are kinda ripping Geren in the post game show about his bullpen use in the sixth and for not bunting in the 9th…
There is no A in OFFENSE!!
I didn't mind the no bunt
I was surprised with Rajai, but I certainly would not have bunted with Suzuki. The whole point is to get your best hitters up to hit, not to take the bat of your best hitters’ hands so you can hope for Jack Cust not to strike out.

Its not like he struck out looking at a pitch right down the middle!

Bunting is a bad idea
Chris Carter entered a villiage where an ogre had devoured all the crops and livestock, and Chris Carter asked the people of the village, "Have you no beasts of labor with which to pay tribute me?" And the people answered, "No, the ogre has taken our livestock," and with one mighty swing of his bat Chris Carter felled the ogre, and Chris Carter did proclaim, "Let my people be free," and it was so. - Aufheben

If it had been Pennington up with two on and nobody out,
I’d bunt every time. Depends on who the hitter is and who’s up after.

Oh yeah I totally agree, I wasn't sommenting on the play..I was just surprised to hear them talking someone negative about Geren!

Okay could my post have been any more incompetent....Let me try again..
I agree that the bunt is 100% based on the situatiuon and who is at bat. I wasnt commenting on whether they were right or wrong, I was just saying that it was unusual to hear them ripping Geren on the post game show…

Personally, I don't think Geren managed poorly at all
I like that he let Sweeney hit in a “bunting situation,” same with Suzuki, and he put in bad relievers because the team was behind and guys like Wuertz and Breslow are way overused. Heck, he only let Marshall face two lefties, so he even used Marshall relatively well.

well they aren't if you are visiting in the 9th and they only need 1 run to win
but other than that yes.

I know hindsight is 20/20
As an example had Everidge still been with the club I would PH for Cust even though it would have been righty on right.
At least when Everidge was here he did a good job in the 9th inning and certainly would not have looked stupid taking one down the middle. Now I am not saying Everidge is a better player because he had mixed results while he was up here but he may well have been a better option in that situation. Just using him as an example.
As it turned out, the ballboy would have been a better option in that situation.
Actually, wasn't it Everidge's last AB where he took three pitches,
all for strikes, the last one down the middle, in the 9th inning?

Yeah
But he learned by it.
Not repeat it like Cust does. I think Cust has done this in the 9th with runners on quite a few times this season.
I would hope he learned by it
is what I meant to type
lol this is seriously ridic on so many levels of illogic

Get your facts and logic the hell out of here.
"I’m Joey Devine, I’m what Joba Chamberlain would be if he was good and nobody had ever heard of him."
They should certainly be ripping on Marshall
He does not have the necessaries to succeed in the major leagues. Unless you pitch him against like 1 LHB in a game otherwise he becomes a huge liability when pitching to even 1 RHB. Trouble is he throws at like 34 miles an hour and locates the pitch right down the middle to the RHB who sees it coming about 11 seconds before it gets to the plate
Whereas lefties are so confounded and overmatched that they can only single
