"Jack Cust Saves a Run with a Sliding Catch!" (A’s Lose 3-2)

PrintThose first nine words come courtesy of Ken Korach, and since it is highly unlikely he will utter such nonsense ever again, I felt they were worthy of a headline.
In the end, there wasn't enough web-wizardry to save a so-so Vin Mazzaro from tasting defeat, and despite winning the battle (18th straight game in which their starter allowed three runs or less), the A's lost the war and fell back to the .500 mark. What, they pitched "well" and lost?
Put those brooms away, damn it.
Kevin Kouzmanoff (2-for-4, run-scoring double) continues to hit like a guy looking over his shoulder, but in a crucial moment in the eighth, he was unable to deliver the big blow. With two men on and two out in a one-run game, Kouz grounded meekly to first.
All told, the A's stranded nine runners.
The Indians put together just enough offense to avoid the sweep, including a long two-run homer off the bat of Matt LaPorta in the sixth that gave Cleveland its first lead of the night at 3-2.
And that's how it stayed, with the A's putting on a pair of obligatory teases in the eighth and ninth before Daric Barton struck out with the tying run on second to end the game.
And it's on to Arlington we go.

This has got to stop
Again, we win 2 of 3…But it does nothing for us. We only pick up a game at the most on Texas for this series if they lose tonight.
BB has got to stop playing around. We have some 15 million or so I hear to play with this offseason.
The good young players need to play, we don’t need ANY more pitchers if they decide to keep this rotation and bullpen together, which should be do-able, and use that money to get a HUGE, not big, HUGE bat.
The difference in adding a guy you know will hit 30+ HR’s significantly changes the aspect of every game and how you handle the remaining players.
Holliday was not a good move (look at Carlos Gonzalez) because we knew he would leave and could be traded that year and didn’t really want to be here.
Go find a guy, make a sales pitch about the chance of putting together a team that can win for a couple years, and sign him to a 3 year deal or longer and get some seats filled and some excitement back.
I live in Reno, NV. I used to go to many A’s games and still do to this day, and I am dissapointed.
Their used to be drums and tons of fans going crazy in the stands, and then one day they were gone, and it’s because we lost those big bats we had (Tejada, Giambi, etc…). I want that back, not for me or the fans, but for those players. Nothing is more exciting as a player than a large home crowd going crazy.
Spend some money, get the player who will make the difference, lock him up and let him play out the struggles for the first year, and give him time to prove he was worth it, not just a half year or 1 year.
Maybe that is just me, but I feel all other options have been tried and were burned out or failed. Cust can’t always be our deep ball threat, and your HR leader this deep in the season should probably have more than 12.
The pitching staff could probably do very well against the NL all star team the way they keep us in every game.
Don't go talking about how the A's used to get decent attendance here.
No one will believe you.
And we can’t even pick up a game. In fact, for this series, we lost a half-game because we went 2-1 and Texas went 3-1.

For Real
They are just not getting enough wins for the stretch their pitching is on, 23 starts is it now?
They used to bring way more people back in 02 and 03 than they do now. It sounded even more like it was soldout because the energy in the Coliseum was intense, we need that back.
Yeah, I can remember
big games against the Yanks or BoSoxs with 50k+. Those were the days.
Casual fans like HRs – they generally don’t care about pitching, unless it is a no-hitter.
Drink what you know, drink regularly rather than in binges, avoid needlessly exotic booze, and leave the table while you can still stand.
no bats available anywhere.
I too would like to know what happened to the drums in left field, it was like a college football atmosphere during those years. loads of fun. I heard many of those guys graduated and thats why they aren’t there anymore. Plus- opposing teams complained to the league.
But seriously, for all those that want a BIG bat, what teams have anybody with over 30 homers this year !! on this date there are 7 total players with more than 30. Another 10 could go over 30 by season’s end. Thats 17 players in a 30 team league over 30 homers. AND out of those 17 maybe 4-5 could be traded or picked up as free agents this winter. AND none of them fit in with the A’s hitting philosophy, which is all about plate discipline and OBP. SO WHY are there still fans calling for BIG bats ?? Pujols, Kendry Morales, M. Cabrera, Youkilis, Votto, are NOT changing teams any time soon. capeche?

no that part I got....seems like a different term than "sent down".
but does it means he’s fired? can’t move back and forth? can be picked up by another team?
"Are those new tarps? Or did they paint 'em?" Mark Ellis
From Wiki;
Once a player is designated for assignment, the team has ten days to do one of the following things: the player can be traded, the player can be released, or the player can be put on waivers and, provided he clears, outrighted to the minors.
I guess I missed the DFA....so in chutes and ladders style he chuted right back to the minors.
"Are those new tarps? Or did they paint 'em?" Mark Ellis
His 10 day DFA period ended
nobody claimed him on waivers, so since it was the first time he’s been DFA’d he can be outright assigned (outrighted) to the minor leagues, and he is removed from the 40 man roster.

Cust and Larish were in the lineup last night.
Cust played left
"The ego, the super-ego, and the Ed" - dannycakes
Expanding on what I said in the game thread,
I think this game showed why power is such an important piece to a complete offense. Mazzaro clearly was shaky throughout and had he gotten through the 6th he was coming out, and you had a chance to turn it over to Wuertz, Rodriguez, Bailey. And had Mazzaro given up a couple hits in a row, or hit and a walk, you go to the pen before it’s too late.
Boom. Too late.
The way it played out, Geren couldn’t reasonably have gotten Mazzaro out of there in time, but had it been a "non HR" rally, knowing that Mazzaro has been on the edge all game you could get him out before the damage was done. But it happened too quickly.
That’s the “quick strike” capability that allowed the Indians to beat Wuertz by keeping him out of the game. What a thought that the Indians beat Wuertz tonight and he didn’t even pitch.
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
LaPorta isn't really a power guy, though.
Dude’s got an OPS worse than Suzuki this year.
I’ll lean on the “good hitters” bit again, regardless of power. Too many guys left on base.
Pam liked my old sig better.
I agree.
Power wasn’t the difference in this game. The difference was that we had three or four opportunities to do some damage and we let them go.

No, I don't mean LaPorta is great
I just mean this was an example of what power can do that a slow-developing rally can’t.

Well, sure. Dingerz are nice.
LaPorta only has 7 this year though. It was kind of a bad pitch that got crushed.
Pam liked my old sig better.
Sadly, in the 8th Kouz got a hanger and fouled it back
Halfway to the plate, I thought, “A’s lead, A’s win!” Bollocks.
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
Precisely.
A good hitter doesn’t foul that off. A good hitter ties the game or gives us the lead there.
Pam liked my old sig better.
and somehow I accidentally hit return twice.
Basically, if Kouz wasn’t a shitty hitter, the game would have been tied. If he could have actually put the bat on the ball instead of that excuse me swing crap, the game would have been tied.
If we wouldn’t have left a crapload of guys on base again, the game would have been tied.

MLB reports
that Manny Ramirez has been claimed by someone, but Kenny Williams is being coy and this article says the winner might not be who you think and maybe he’s targeting someone else other than MR.
This open roster spot is interesting, hmmmm. MLB says the winner will be announced Friday, so stay tuned.

Actually, it's more money than that, and also more time.
From the same article:
The 38-year-old is owed approximately $4.5 million, with about $3.3 million deferred, but a FOXSports report Thursday claimed Ramirez wanted a one-year extension to waive his no-trade clause.

Kenny didn't sound like he wanted to, though.

I wish the A's would sign Manny
…but I suspect Beane is thinking “let’s not try to win this year, let’s let our guys come up from the minors.” The thing is Manny would draw people to the Coliseum because of his sheer star power. Maybe not enough to pay off the $4 million he would cost, but close to it. I was living in L.A. when he joined the Dodgers, and he was a real shot in the arm for that then moribund franchise.

I actually could watch this game, unlike most road games
very unhappy that Cleveland won, but can’t really blame Mazzaro.
What kind of a lineup was that? Even with the offensive problems how was Suzuki the best choice batting third?
The first 2 innings, Mazzaro looked fantastic
After that, though, his fastball looked straight or just flat — kind of the “anti-giddyup.”

That may say more about Pennington and Crisp than about Mazzaro,

Interesting musing about Manny coming to the A's
When Canseco and McGwire were just coming up, the A’s signed Reggie to a one-year contract, just to teach the kids what he knew and provide them some protection in the lineup.
Could Manny play that role with Carter, and perhaps Taylor?
Fun to think about it, at least.

So which important A's player will Geren bench for the upcoming Texas series?
Crisp, Pennington, Cust, or Barton? That’s about it for good position players. I imagine Cust will experience a benching since Bob’s getting antsy about how many days in a row he’s played. Crisp too, since he hasn’t had an off day in a while and an important series against the division leader is always a great time to give a guy a day off.
Maybe Mortenson will be called up to make Cahill’s start. Gotta give everyone an equal chance to pitch, y’know.
"We were shit, pathetic," Guillen growled early in spring training. "We hit too many home runs."
cust needs a day off after playing
1/2 game in the OF. maybe two days because he dove “saving” a run.
it was more that cust almost cost us a run because he misplayed it.

I would say go for it and roll the dice and claim Ramirez
why not? Is Jeff Larish really that awesome? I put Cust (Gold Glove shoo-in) in LF (where he will rob hit after hit with diving plays) and let Manny DH and hit 3rd with JC 4th and see how many phat phastballs Jack can Jack as a result.
Plus, if Manny is being Manny he will at some point during a September home game disappear into the out-of-town LF scoreboard and emerge comepletely naked, where he will play the top of the next inning with just his glove on.
Now, what better attendance-booster can you ask for than that?
