Wow. Exciting finish, but don't get too excited. That was a golden gift from the A's, who don't do that after the all-star break.
Tejeda looked great, and we made Gaudin look even better. If former Ranger Justin Duchscherer hadn't caught the walk bug that we had the last few games, we'd be scratching our heads at the offense.
The other gifts came with hits on 0 and 2 counts. Granted, Hank did an awesome job to make contact and knock in the last two runs, but that's not going to happen often.
Good to see our walk total imited to 2, but our hitters can't strike out 11 times. More than half coming from Young, Kinsler, and Cruz.
Young is now hitting less than what I weigh. Not good. Seems like everything he's seeing is away. Really away. He's hitting balls to right, but no one is challenging him inside. maybe he needs to get up on the plate a little so he can start driving those wide ones.
Gagne looked like someone shot him in the back with a bb gun. Probably one of those spasms that he hadn't told anyone about. Seems like we ought to know when he's hurting. Do we have a communication problem?
Going against Baek, a 6-4 S. Korean, tonight. Don't know much about him, except that he has a tendency to give up the long ball. Millwood on the road. I like our chances tonight.
