Let's Turn Two: A's Five DP's Spark 10-0 Victory
by 67MARQUEZ on Apr 23, 2010 9:47 PM PDT
Email
PrintThe A's turned five double plays- just one shy of the team record- and Justin Duchscherer ran his streak to 19 innings without allowing an earned run as Oakland ran away from the Tribe with a six-run 8th and took the opener of their three-game series with a 10-0 victory.
Duke labored for most of his six frames on the clock, but was the beneficiary of four twin-killings, all of which came in the first four innings.
Oakland batters were doubled up twice- in the second and third innings- before the A's broke a scoreless tie in the fourth. Daric Barton walked to lead off, and took second on a single by Kurt Suzuki, the first of three hits for the A's catcher. After an Eric Chavez strikeout, Kevin Kouzmanoff hit a slow grounder into center for the game's first run.
Barton was the catalyst of a scoring spurt in the sixth, as he doubled with no outs, and came around to score on a Ryan Sweeney single. Suzuki chased starter Jake Westbrook with a homerun, his second in as many days to make it 4-nil.
Duchscherer helped his cause with a pick-off of Shin-Soo Choo in the top of the sixth. He then struck out Travis Hafner before calling it a night. Tyson Ross relieved Duchscherer in the seventh, and Duke was kind enough to leave some double-play magic behind as Jhonny Peralta was erased on a 4-6-3 off the bat of Russell Branyan. Ross, who turned 23 yesterday, pitched two scoreless innings, and Brad Kilby mopped up to preserve the A's second shutout of the season.
Things got silly in a sloppy eighth inning, with Oakland putting up six runs, half of them scoring on a base-clearing Rajai Davis two-bagger, breaking a 6-for-50 slump for the struggling centerfielder.
The A's improve to 11-7 season on the season and 3-0 in Good Don/Evil Don threads, and we do it again tomorrow.

Well that was boring

Gutsy effort by Duke, who had (IMO) his worst stuff of the 4 starts so far this year. Suzuki is teh awesome and Sweeney hit the balls on the screws (screwed his balls, whatever).

OK...so I did not watch the entire game....but here's how it feels to me.
Like good solid A’s baseball. Bats are heating up, pitching is tight, defense is great…..lots of double plays = no base runners to score….This seemed like a game where we did the right things and got no bad breaks…..I am so non-bored by this team right now……afraid to believe – but I BELIEVE!!!

There isn't a Yankee like team in the AL West so if the A's can get to say 86 wins
they might get in the playoffs and then with the pitching…. who knows?
YEAH....I was thinking about the playoffs as I was driving home tonight listening to the game......wondering if we are in it
at what point do we cement our run with the bats we need to be really competitive…….I know the pitching is solid if healthy – but I am not sure if we can go the distance with the offense,

One birthday I took my horse to the racetrack to race (trainer did not go). Took the groom with me and geared the horse up, won the race at 11 to one odds, drove the horse to the pub. Took him off the horsefloat, let him eat grass for 20 minutes, went inside bar, got drunk, gave the groom the keys, "said drive the horse home and then I woke up in the back room of the bar at 4 in the morning and had to get a ride home from another trainer who also passed out in the bar. Not to mention crawling on hands and knees into ladies restroom. That part I did remember.

I'm trying like hell not to get too excited
but we are +21 in run differential and some of our lineup is off to a very slow start. If Rajai is just league average he should add some runs that he is currently not doing with a very low average. I am thrilled that he cleared the bases because I won a lot of money tonight but, seriously, he is not getting us started with his barely over .200 average.
Suzuki is our best hitter and he has barely got things going. Could we actually be this fucking good??

I talked to a serious stats guy and he said the A's are overachieving
and I agreed with him. However I looked at our entire lineup and I’m not sure that we aren’t at least this good when you average our entire plausible offensive output. We are definitely scoring more runs than we should but the averages are not necessarily too good to be true.
Can the team concept possibly be overlooked in our case? I think so…

I wish I could!
I’ll be busy. I guess I’ll have to settle for AN Day, whenever that surfaces.
The selfish, they're all standing in line, faithing and hoping to buy themselves time.

catching up on the victory thread
but, can’t concentrate….all worried and concerned since I read on Yahoo that Kate Gosselin’s Dancing with Stars partners thinks she needs a psychiatrist.
alaska A residing in northern Idaho.
She's a movie star, right?
Of course she needs a psychiatrist. Everyone in Hollywood does.
There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio, Than are dreamt of in your philosophy.
no
She is a “reality” TV star, from the now gone Jon and Kate Plus 8.

Joey Devine has partial tear of Flexor Tendon (Ben Sheets injury)
Reliever Joey Devine said an initial read from Wednesday’s MRI showed a partial tear of the flexor tendon in his right elbow. The MRI was reviewed by Dr. Doug Freedberg in Phoenix, but Devine said he’ll visit Alabama-based specialist Dr. James Andrews on Monday.

Andrews performed Devine’s elbow ligament replacement surgery last April. Given Andrews’ familiarity with Devine’s elbow troubles, he should be able to provide the clearest diagnosis.
“It seems like every time I’m headed in the right direction, something is there to side-swipe me,” said Devine, who missed all of last season and had a setback with his elbow earlier this week
Thanks, Trainman, for the update
Just a note: Sometimes you tend to post a bit more of the story than is “safe” for etiquette/law. Putting the link is essential, so thanks for always doing that. Reprinting any one of those 3 paragraphs would be fine, but all 3 becomes a bit iffy. Paraphrasing any or all 3 paragraphs would also be fine. And happy birthday last night!
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
OK
Thanks Nico for the wishes.
Will be more careful with posting etc.
I did avoid the mound on the way back to the keyboard from the bathroom.
I think the "link" was trying to tell me what you told me
I typed in link and highlighted it and then pasted the URL in the box. I had it set up for the top of this box and it stuck it in the middle of the stuff I pasted.
The word link was trying to tell me my paste was too long as well so I would like to thank it. LOL
GET OFF MY MOUSE!!!!!
