A's Wow Pretty Much Nobody With Hard Loss (10-1)

Ouch. There's really not much to say about a game like this. Brett Anderson was ineffective, allowing three runs in 2.2 innings of work. The Diamondbacks kept piling on runs, as Tyson Ross allowed four more, with the help of a throwing error by Adrian Cardenas. And Henry Rodriguez was his usual wild self, matching his two strikeouts with two walks. Daric Barton went 3 for 3, and Steven Tolleson hit an RBI single to avoid the shutout. Other than that, though, the A's offense was almost entirely silent.
There is some good news, however. According to Susan Slusser, Justin Duchscherer pitched two bullpen session sets of 15 pitches each.
"This is the best I've felt in four or five years," Duchscherer said. "There's no pain anywhere in my body. And before (the procedure), I had days where I couldn't walk."
Max Stassi tried his best at putting Duchscherer on the disabled list when he hit a line drive directly at Justin's face. Thankfully, Duchscherer was able to deflect it with his glove, and other than a sore glove hand (sigh), he's fine.
Tomorrow, the A's split up as they take on San Diego at home and San Francisco in Scottsdale. Both games start at 12:05 PM.

Slusser said it was Tolleson from twitter.
But Gameday has Sogard batting in front of Tolleson, with Tolleson hitting a double and Sogard with the RBI single.
I wasn’t listening to the game, can anyone clarify?
Taken down with hearts alive, our hearts alive.
Here's the tweet
susanslusser The #Athletics vs #Diamondbacks boxscore is currently wrong. Tolleson drove in Sogard, not the other way around. It will be fixed.

Fun with searches
According to AN Archives, my first comment was on Nov 10, 2004 9:48 PM PST on Ummmmm…. Barry Larkin???
And my first thread was on Nov 14, 2004 1:02 PM PST, about Visquel signing with the Giants, and their corresponding loss of a first round pick in order to get out from under the shadow of the great Neifi Perez.
Mine was in February 2005, four AN identies ago.
It was probably something about Cheese being the fruit juice nature intended.

Yes!
My 4:30pm flight is now a 4:45pm flight. The morning began with the toaster oven catching fire courtesy of a housemate’s rye bread toasting gone awry (a rye?). I literally picked the fiery toaster oven up and carried it to the sink, so I figure I got my “fiery issues” out of the way for the day and should have a most pleasant flight.

One of the great things about spring training
is that the scene is so laid back, compared to what you see at the big league ballparks during the season. Especially at these midweek games, nobody’s going to complain if you upgrade your seat a little bit. So any bozo like me with a cheap-ass digital camera can get a few halfway-decent pictures. My point in posting the photos is to try to illustrate that relaxed atmosphere.
it really comes through.
You’re basically mingling with the players and coaches.

Since the A’s play the Padres at home and the Giants away, I’m guessing that the Padres game will be on (assuming KTRB will be broadcasting the A’s today).

I'm sure it will be the home game

hopefully the "away" game will be broadcast on MLB.com
but if Korach is doing the “home” game on KTRB that probably means no Buancast…so the only way to follow the game with the Giants will be listening to (knbr)…
BTW Slusser just tweeted the starting lineups for both games
Ellis will be leading off in the game against the Giants, while Rajai does the honors at home against San Diego..
You can see both tweets and both lineups here
interesting
on KTRB the A’s pregame show is not yet on. On MLB.com the KTRB feed is silent, while the San Diego feed is playing a Sux game.
And the MLB.com audio only lists KNBR’s feed
Oh good…KTRB now has the A’s pregame show on.
