Josh Willingham Gets Day Off For Sore Achilles; A's tweak Rotation
From Chronicle Employees Writer Susan Slusser at U.S. Cellular Area
Supervisor Bob Melvin laughed when I asked about Hideki Matsui currently becoming back from the No. 3 spot that Melvin had said he was putting the DH in routinely.
"I need to have arrive out right here using a shoe in my mouth," Melvin mentioned having a smile.
Matsui is batting cleanup nowadays, on his 37th birthday, because Josh Willingham is out having a sore Achilles tendon, the identical 1 that bothered him before while in the trip. He'll have tomorrow's offday to relaxation it to and will be back again batting cleanup on Tuesday, with Matsui returning for the No. 3 spot. Melvin stated Willingham could pinch hit now.
With tomorrow's day off, Melvin is shuffling the rotation a little, relocating Trevor Cahill ahead of Josh Outman. Cahill will go Tuesday versus Kansas City, Outman on Wednesday and Gio Gonzalez on Thursday. Graham Godfrey will get yet another get started this week, however the day has not been made a decision. I presume he's acquiring in the tiny further perform with A's pitching coach Ron Romanick, which ought to be beneficial because Godfrey was not in big-league camp this spring.
The A's are carrying out some thing right now I have not found them do for eons - they are taking infield previous to the video game. Melvin was crystal clear that he'd presently planned it and had pointed out it to the team Thursday; it is not punishment for previous night's 3 problems.
Melvin's feeling: When the team hits in the indoor cage ahead of the video game in lieu of to the field, as is often the situation with day games following night video games, he doesn't want the very first ball hit to an infielder to are available in the video game. He needs them to get taken some grounders already.
So this tends to be a semi-regular issue. You just about certainly not see it anymore, although it used to be the norm. I am aware Ron Washington has the Rangers get infield some days, and the Japanese reporters say it's a regular thing in Japan.
The Japanese reporters presented Matsui which has a big, gorgeous cake this morning. I will be tweeting (@susanslusser) pics of Matsui blowing out the candles later when the Japanese media offers me the Okay - they do not want me scooping them before they can get their very own pictures printed in Japan - on account of the time difference, none of their images could well be place up on their very own web pages for really a even though.
They purchased the cake, and it can be now from the press box and it's delectable, so I'll honor the request. Joyful birthday, Godzilla!
