6/29: A's @ O's

I doubt it. That was just a beautifully placed hit by Suzuki. If anything, Miggi saved a double by snagging it as it bounced over the bag.

Yeah he definitely made a nice play to field it, not trying to take anything away from him there. I'm just wowed by his arm over there, so I tend to be curious when he throws the balls that bounce 3 or 4 times on there way over.

Man, it disgusts me to see Tatum, Lugo and Izturis at the bottom third of our lineup.

That is just atrocious.

I'm amazed I'm the only one that sees stupidity in Wieters not playing tonight. No one else?

Off-day for Wieters.

Yeah it certainly beats up the lineup.

Holy crap, Patterson walked!!!!!!!!

Palmer knows a little something about Catfish's '74 season because it was in the middle of Palmer's Cy Young streak.

[adamwolff11]

Off-day for Wieters.

Yes, but he had the day off yesterday, as well as last Monday. It's not like we're in the middle of the team playing 15 games in a row or something. And he's actually starting to hit better!

[Frobby]

Bite me, Miggy. I'm watching on Game Day just praying he doesn't hit into the DP and shorten the inning, and that's exactly what he does. Had Mazzaro on the ropes there.

[Frobby]

This team is really hurting itself tonight.

[SammyBirdland]

That was a decent grab by Miggi.

[adamwolff11]

0-2 to Ellis, takes him 8 more pitches to finally get him to line out.

Give Ellis some credit, he fouled a bunch off, but you are never going to last in a game if you get 0-2 on guys and let them work you for a full count and 10 pitches with any regularity.

[Frobby]

Another 18 pitches that inning. Matusz really is having trouble resolving ABs even when he has two strikes. Watching on Game Day, it seems they are fouling off his fastball at will. He's been throwing 88-90 mph almost all game, occasionally 91.

[Frobby]

Nick has the same number of HRs and one more RBI than Cliff Pennington, Oakland's shortstop who bats 9th.

[fansince71]

When was the last Wiggy HR?

Anybody else getting logged off every time they leave OH?:cussing:

[adamwolff11]

Let's hope Old Fan doesn't have the hearing aid in tonight, Palmer just dropped the "Markakis is a Gold Glove right fielder, hasn't won one, but he should". OH Meltdown!
