Around SBN: Clippers Need To Realize That Spurs Are The Anti-Grizzlies

Gameday Thread: A's at O's, rubber match

by Scott Christ on Apr 7, 2005 2:12 PM EDT in Gamethreads

Danny Haren, RH Erik Bedard, LH (0-0, NA) (0-0, NA) CF M Kotsay 2B B Roberts LF E Byrnes CF D Newhan C J Kendall 3B M Mora 3B E Chavez SS M Tejada RF B Kielty RF S Sosa DH E Durazo DH R Palmeiro 2B K Ginter C J Lopez 1B N Swisher LF B Surhoff SS M Scutaro 1B J Gibbons

7:05 tonight on CSN, and I think ESPN is carrying the game as well. This is Haren's Oakland debut, and despite that I like Haren, I'd love to see the O's chase him early and get to their bullpen. We'll get our first look at Bedard this season after a very impressive spring. Like Cabrera, he's another guy that needs to show better command this year. I think I like his chances more than Dan's.

My main hope for tonight is that they actually get to play. I'm still in recovery from the long offseason, and I want to watch some baseball. Rainouts suck.

Says rain is likely late. I don't know their definition of late, but that sounds promising to get nine innings with a 7:05 start time.

We are running out an all-time bad defensive outfield tonight.

And there's already one broken bat.

1-0

On a balk and a crap single. Tremendous.

my extra innings is out

So I'm stuck watching ESPN. Did Sutcliffe just say Newhan is the fastest guy on the roster?

1-1 through five

This has been quite a duel. Bedard and Haren both look really good.

Bedard

I think he's probably done for the night, and he was outstanding.

7 IP, 3 H, 1 ER, 1 BB, 5 K

But let's tip our caps to Danny Haren, too. He's done, as Rincon is now in.

6 IP, 3 H, 1 ER, 3 BB, 6 K

Fantastic

night from Bedard, particularly the one walk against a very patient team. Nice that he made it through seven as well, given his problems last year.

Now let's go out and win this one!

Oh, hell

See, trading Riley for Byrnes would have prevented stuff like this.

I'm still assuming that our bullpen will be a strength this year, but that's pretty frustrating.

Jay Gibbons

We need to talk, buddy.

You have got to be kidding me. Of course Byrnes goes deep off of the lefty. No kidding. Ugh ugh ugh ugh.

Luis Matos

I'm a lot more in favor of Mike Cameron now than I was before that one. Good heavens was that a disaster.

Only Brian Bob has his head in the game.

Matos

Yeah, that was ugly.

by Joltin Joe Orsulak on Apr 7, 2005 10:07 PM EDT up reply actions

I'm not seeing a comeback at this point...

We're making Calero look pretty good right now

surhoff

ouch!!! nice whiff

Over

Let's forget pretty much everything from tonight except Bedard's performance. That's something pretty encouraging to take away from an otherwise miserable game.
