wow, i love this exciting brand of ozzieball. get em over and get em in, mang.

Sigh.

We're awfully f***ing good at wasting guys in scoring position. Up to Gordon.

Teahen would look great batting 2nd. He really makes the pitcher work.

He's like a less spazzy Swisher. He's got a great approach to the plate. That's the positive thing about players coming out of the A's organization. Not counting Eric Byrnes of course.

Wow, that's just brutal. Played right into Seattle's hands this inning. Pierre should just never get to bat with a RISP.

Juan Pierre. What a hitter.

ozzie ball: "get to third and hope for a PB or a WP"

My god this offense is sad.

Horrible

Man, this run manufacturing is a beautiful thing to behold.

A two-run home run right here would manufacture TWO runs.

While I'm happy we didn't bunt, I can't be the only one shocked that Ozzie didn't? You bunt with Beckham to get a runner to 2nd with 1 out, but not with your #9 hitter to get a runner to 3rd?

AJ, Ramirez and Pierre=FAIL

 

Wow...surprising.

 

Beckham, start driving the ball up the middle and stop trying to "push" every ball into RF please. (If I'd like to see anyone do this, OTOH, it would be CQ).

 

Poor Danksie. You knew he was hoping for the run to get out of the game with a chance for the W.

 

Well, it's POSSIBLE, I suppose, but Beckham has been a complete mess at the plate.

Beckham is about to drill a 2-out RBI to right

Most likely not scoring here. That'll give AJ a chance to add to his LOB total in the 8th.

at least he didn't strike out

Pathetic.

Damn, that looked good off the bat.

There's very little that Ozzie does that makes sense.

Super

I do know ONE thing, Juan Uribe almost always got the job bunting done or getting the runner in there.

 

Runner doesn't even move 5 feet from 2B. PATHETIC in the late innings, horrible execution with those four guys.

 

 

And he didn't push the ball to RF.

PROGRESS!!!

Remember that when you complain about not bunting in the future.

We didn't score either f***ing way.

With this lineup it doesn't f***ing matter either way!

 

That said, give me a walkoff homer anyday today. Keep it tied.

Because Juan Pierre doesn't have a chance in hell at getting a runner in from 3rd with less than 2 out and the infield in.

Hopefully Beckham can bang some slumpbusters tonight and find his bat speed.

mark me down for having seen enough of alexei ramirez, bad baseball player
