Open Thread: Game 112 (Oakland Athletics at Seattle Mariners)

Hell hath no fury like a Carter scorned. Thankfully, he'll get a second chance to enact revenge on the Mariners from the north.
Yesterday may have been a disappointment, but we'll get another shot against the Mariners tonight. Brett Anderson (3-2, 3.14 ERA), still getting into the swing of things after being reactivated from the disabled list, will face a strong opponent in Felix Hernandez (7-9, 2.94 ERA). King Felix has been his usual sparkling self. The only problem? His anemic backing offense, which is the worst in the majors. In fact, the Mariners' offense ranks dead last in batting average, on-base percentage, and slugging percentage. Expect Brett Anderson to have some fun.
But you're not really here to see pitching, are you? Hulking slugger Chris Carter is starting tonight in his second game in the majors. I don't want to put overly high expectations on him or anything, but anything less than 10 RBI would be a massive disappointment.
A friendly helpful note to the Seattle Mariners: In the event of a Chris Carter sighting, DO NOT run away, fall to the ground, or play dead. Instead, stand your ground, yell loudly, wave your arms, make loud noises such as banging pots or pans, and put small children or Chone Figgins on your shoulders.

Was the first getting tossed from that game where we should have had...
…a double play at third base?
There is no "i" in Teamocil. At least not where you'd think.

This may not be too popular, but I'm rooting for Texas
It reflects how I feel about the Yankees, and also how I feel about the A’s chances.

I'll never give up --
but I doubt my rooting will impact the game too much and I’d be tickled pink if the Rays won the AL East.

If last night is any indication
we are in a race to get demoted to Single A ball.
Last night the A’s could not get laid in a brothel. Here’s hoping Brett gets all 27 outs on 27 pitches and we might manage a run.
I am rooting for the Rays to win the East.
Bah, I never root against the rival team.
I just root for the A’s to win, and I don’t care what anyone else does.

If Chris Carter can do what Bobby Crosby never learned and lay off that outside breaking stuff, he’ll be fine tonight.
I'm not really confident about Carter's chances against King Felix tonight.
"We were shit, pathetic," Guillen growled early in spring training. "We hit too many home runs."
Just tell him
“Felix is kind of the opposite of Fister” and he ought to HR in his first two ABs.

I thought Carter had a good chance to do something against Fister yesterday (only three pitchers in the league throw a higher percentage of fastballs than Fister).
But since Carter swung at so many breaking balls out of the zone, Fister only gave him one or two fastballs in the zone….
"We were shit, pathetic," Guillen growled early in spring training. "We hit too many home runs."

Fister pitched him well
All Carter could have done better is “nothing” — which is what he’ll need to learn to do when he sees a curve that starts a little off the outside corner.

for as long as he has been associated with the A's
i can’t stand him as an annoucer/interviewer. he is so DRAB. hell of a nice guy i’m sure but he is terrible with a mic in his hand.
not real fond of cotroneo (???) or whatever his name is. the only person i’ve liked less is probably i can’t even remember his name. fills in on KNBR sometimes. did the a’s in the late 80s/early 90s…. TED ROBINSON….ugggggg (nepotism if i remember right). great for tennis, even the olympics i like him. great to listen to on KNBR he is very knowledgable on most sports but TERRIBLE play by play for baseball and football (does some 9er stuff)

So tell me, Zoney,
how much do you hate it when Ray asks a question that isn’t really a question but gives the entire answer so that the guy being interviewed doesn’t have anything to say besides just agree with Ray?
There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio, Than are dreamt of in your philosophy.
uh.... so yeah, I 110% agree with that question, I think.
*WARNING!* Playing online multiplayer games may change your: Religion, Sexual Orientation, Race and/or Gender for undetermined periods of time.
They all do it, to one degree or another
I think it’s because baseball players are supposed to be inarticulate, and many of them are…so Fosse and Contronio often answer their own questions two ways and then throw it back to the player to choose one from column A or one from column B.
RAY, HOW CAN HE ANSWER THE QUESTION IF YOU JUST ANSWERED IT

Yesterday’s triple play was the first time in MLB history when there was a triple play in the same game that was a manager’s debut.
Wow, really. That’s kind of not surprising at all, since both are pretty rare.

we will never get an opportunity like that the rest of the game
to not score 1 run with bases loaded, no outs, is unacceptable. given our RISP numbers the past few games, something has got to change, quickly.
Ok with the bases loaded, two of the guys I WOULDN'T want up
are our 4 and 5 hitters. If this is the case, you know something is wrong with your lineup.

Hey how about a fucking fly ball Cust....Christ!!
How many times are we going to load the bases with no outs this year in the first inning against the opposing teams best pitcher and score a big fat zero!! PATHETIC!!!!
There is no A in OFFENSE!!
More factoids from the Seattle TV broadcast
This is the first game in MLB history when a team had the bases loaded in the 1st and didn’t score on a day when a U.S. Senator from Alaska died in a plane crash.

I gripe when Cust isn't in the lineup, and then I gripe when I see him come to the plate
He’s a much better check the box score after the game hitter, for me.

I can't see, now I have to pee, and I can't count to three, but I can count to JÄGERMEISTER!
Kouz didn't even bust it down the line
yes, he’d almost certainly been out anyway, but given how this team is doing, and with a runner could score
Can't believe
how terrible Cust and Kuz are at making contact with the ball. You have one job with a runner on 3rd and less than two outs, do it! Definitely should not be batting consecutively
but Kouz did make contact

Letter from a fan...
Dear Jack Cust,
Believe it or not that thing you take to the plate with you every at bat is called a baseball bat. Now see, your goal as a hitter (and seeing as that is all you do is “hit” I thought you would know this already) is to hit the ball into the field and not make an out. You however, never seem to make contact when it matters (or at all for that matter). Please start using your thing called a baseball bat.
Love,
RR
P.S. Only the top of the first inning and I’m done with this game. Sad.
Except he’d be number one on a lot of teams in that department.

Damn Jack Cust
He is back Mr choke in the clutch. He is back in love with the homerun ball and back to be a bust. Hope to see him gone next year and get a real hitter instead of mr choke. Follow that up with mr dp. Kouz is a dp machine. Should be a #8 hitter
So why on earth would they put the rookie ump behind the plate?
I don’t care if that was the rotation. It’s a 3 game series. Put him everywhere but behind the plate! I imagine he goes back down after this “crucial” STL series.
I know how the stats love Jack Cust
and I know that “clucth” hitting might be a myth, but Jesus I’m starting to get sick of Cust striking out in contact situations.

They're not ALWAYS like any other out
Obviously in that situation a strikeout is worse than a fly out. But it’s a LOT better than a double play (Especially with one out).
In the end, outs are outs, and basing the level of overall badness of an out on one at bat doesn’t make sense.
That strike out was bad. It was worse than a deep fly ball (or line out or whatever). It was equal to a pop up. It was better than just about any ground ball out.
