Happy Easter! Back televised after yesterday off... I really can't stand how FOX doesn't allow any other broadcasts when they have their game of the week on. Gay. Sportin the 3rd jerseys today (black), and personally my favorite A's jersey. So, unable to watch yesterday afternoon, the bullpen went ahead and blew a 2 run lead towards the latter part of the game, leading to an eventual 5-8 loss. Surprisingly they were all over King Felix for 5 ER, which is extremely rare for them, and makes it even more painful they didn't close the deal. I did miss the MLB debut of A's backup catcher and former 1st round draft choice, Landon Powell, who had his first hit, a 2 run double, early in the game. Cahill back on the mound for pro start #2 (1st home start) and hopefully he'll be around the strike zone a bit more today. 5 BB's last time around forced the pitch count up. Hopefully he'll lead them back to the .500 mark.
Cahill (0-0) vs. Bedard (0-0) - First Pitch: 4:07
4:01 - HD Game #4 / 5, CSN Bay.
4:05 - Lineup: Fairly standard - Davis gets start in CF, Sweeney over to RF, Giambi at 1B.
4:07 - Lot of empty seats from the early looks of it.
4:09 - Ugh. Leadoff walk...
4:10 - Nice, 6-4-3. OCab goes the no-hands glove flip route to Ellis. Griffey 4-3.
4:18 - P6, P4, >|. End of 1: 0-0-0 | 0-0-0
4:23 - Branyan HBP and steals 2nd, heh? 2 straight nice blocks by Suzuki saves advancement.
4:26 - Wow, OCab w/ robbery in the hole. Good thing No-Knees Sweeney was running.
4:28 - BB, 5-3 - 2 men stranded.
4:39 - K, >|, P5. End of 2: 0-0-0 | 0-0-0
4:42 - Love me a healthy Chavez at 3bag.
4:46 - After another walk to Endy Chavez, Gutierrez hits into another DP. 4-6-3 variety this time around.
4:50 - F8, 6-3, and Davis gets the 1st hit of the game to CF. Also his 1st hit of the season. Sweeney follows with F7. End of 3: 0-0-0 | 0-1-0
4:57 - 3-1, 5-3, F7.
5:00 - Jobs I would love to have: Official Scorekeeper or Batboy for the A's - or Ray Fosse's mustache.
5:03 - F8, 4-3, INF single for Holliday. Would like to have some hits that come before having 2 outs. Might help.
5:11 - Cust BB, Chavez K. End of 4: 0-0-0 | 0-2-0
5:18 - L8, K, 6-3. 7 straight M's retired.
5:24 - Pitchers duel thru 5: 0-0-0 | 0-2-0
5:30 - >|, 4-3, K. 10 straight - 82 pitches.
5:35 - Another 1-2-3. End of 6: 0-0-0 | 0-2-0
5:39 - No-no no mo. Beltre lines a single to CF with 1 out in the 7th.
5:44 - And there goes the shutout.... Davis misplays a Sweeney line drive to CF into a double. 0-1
5:52 - Not good. Bedard is looking real sharp here today. End of 7: 1-2-0 | 0-2-0
5:54 - Cahill out. Springer In. Very good start from Cahill today but the only thing he has a chance of winning is a "L".
6:05 - Jinx list: Bedard has 1 career shutout in 127 starts.
6:06 - For all my Spanish speaking readers - www.losatleticos.com
6:08 - Ugh. End of 8: 1-3-0 | 0-2-0
6:10 - Springer out. Bailey in.
6:13 - F9, P4, 4-3. Bot 9 on the way... how about a baserunner?
6:17 - There we go. Sweeney singles to RF to lead off the 9th. First baserunner since the 4th.
6:19 - OCab successful Sac1-3.
6:20 - Bedard out. Surprising. Aardsma in (Righty) to face Giambi (Lefty). Intersting move with Bedard throwing so well. Fosse informs us all 7 M's relievers are righty's.
6:24 - Giamib K's on 97mph fastball to outside corner. Holliday last chance.
6:26 - My DVR informs me there's 11 min left... Holliday walks. 1st n 2nd, 2 outs. Cust up.
6:30 - Aards thows pretty much all fastballs. Cust has fouled off 5, 3-2.
6:31 - A huge swarm of flying bugs - Fosse says they're hornets - have surrounded the batters area causing a delay...
6:32 - Line drive to LF... caught. Game over.
W: Bedard (1-0) | L: Cahill (0-1) | S: Aardsma (2)
Mariners: 1 | 3 | 0
A's: 0 | 3 | 0
Time of game: 2:25
So that sucks. Nothing like being swept in your first home series of the year... and hey, Red Sox come in for a 3 game set starting tomorrow!!
