vs. ATHLETICS, 5/07 DH Gm.1

[scOtt]

The good hanging slider.

[scOtt]

That was close!

[weams]

Lousy game.

What is Joey's deal with not throwing to cutoff men? What a disappointment hes been since his first 2 weeks.

[weams]

Kinda wish Kim would've gotten the start in this one, with rickard not looking great, plus Kim getting a chance against someone who doesn't throw as hard, even a lefty.

Kim never starts against a lefty. Never.

[scOtt]

So what you're saying Jim is that Rickard missed the cutoff man?

Rule 5 minor leaguer.

He always misses the cutoff man. He's from Tampa.

[scOtt]

This is what we can't do. Advance runners and hustle into scoring position.

Manny tagged from 2nd to 3rd already.

He also did a terrible job of setting up for the throw. No momentum at all behind it .

I think that's kind of a hindsight call...wouldn't really expect the runner on 1st to tag there, and it was a really close play at 3rd

[Ori-Al]

Wright not keeping the ball down.

[scOtt]

Wright is behind a lot of hitters. Not good.

Really slowed the pace of the game too. Not good.

[eddie83]

Rule 5 minor leaguer.

And he is a starter for us.

With all due respect, if you throw form RF to 3rd base you ALWAYS expect the runner to advance. Thats why you throw to the cut off man.
