Inside sliders to lefties are going to go a long way.

That big lead didn't last long. It's too bad Vazquez isn't facing the Royals.

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ May 24, 2006 -> 12:48 AM) Dude, it's the 3rd inning...wait a little bit before you're calling for the pen. Javy hasn't been THAT bad...yet. I think he wanted to see Nelson in mop-up duty. Obviously, he must not know that the A's never go away.

Time for Vazquez to avoid the big inning. His fastball isn't crisp tonight...he needs to get outs on the change.

QUOTE(shawnhillegas @ May 24, 2006 -> 12:46 AM) tonight looks like a good night to see Jeff Nelson! couldnt agree more. I wish Singleton would stop yelling "Got it" on a ball at the fence. It's too hard to tell if the guy caught it, or it's out.

Ah Thome!! He's going to make this park look real small when it gets hot out (similar to how Todd Ritchie did).

With Cintron's swing, I think he would ground out to 2nd base every AB vs Saarloser. QUOTE(TitoMB345 @ May 24, 2006 -> 12:41 AM) Two games in a row with a one-sided ump. Good thing we're good enough to beat 'em. I'd say it's 3 games

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ May 24, 2006 -> 12:38 AM) What did he do to Crosby? Huh? I don't understand this question.

Good job Vaz. Crosby isn't a great player, but he's a very good leader for the A's.

Very close pitch...ump has a small zone.

Settle down Vazquez, and get this guy out. He's got a lot of power, but has struggled this season.

Good changeup. I actually like Vazquez's changeup better than his hook.

Jphat....any idea what Vazquez's fastball is at right now?

Why are we continuing to throw inside to Thomas? Vazquez might be having some shoulder issues, as he keeps trying to loosen it up.

Another amazing AB by Uribe. He should be fined every time he hits the ball to left field.

Saarloser is lucky that Crede didn't get under that high sinker.

QUOTE(Kalapse @ May 24, 2006 -> 12:23 AM) This game is going to get out of hand in a hurry. Against the A's and with Vazquez on the mound (notorious for blow ups), no lead is big enough.

It's amazing how much consistent production we're getting from our 3-4-5. You don't f*** with them.

Wow...talk about getting on top of the ball.

As Garland knows, high sinkers go a LONG WAY! Good job PK.

QUOTE(jphat007 @ May 24, 2006 -> 12:18 AM) Scotty should stop stealing. It isn't working. You know he's much better at stealing 3rd than he is 2nd base. However, Kendall is the type of catcher that Pods feasts on.

Wow....way to go Pods!

QUOTE(Ndgt10 @ May 24, 2006 -> 12:16 AM) When was the last time Cintron hit a ball hard? He hit a long fly ball off of the baggie vs the Twins 2 wks ago.

QUOTE(SSH2005 @ May 24, 2006 -> 12:15 AM) Cintron's swing is so long. Indeed

Over/under 3 times tonight of Hawk saying Saarloser is a great fielder....and just as I type that, he says it.
