The quality has been there a lot of times

I think it’s mostly mental – he seems to simply give up after throwing a bunch of pitches at a hitter. Kinda like “What, I still didn’t get him with that ball – Oh well, let’s just serve up a cookie”.

Also, quality wasn’t so much the issue… his pitchcount is.He has 72 pitches through 4 1/3, so although not very optimal, he’s doing a better job than normal. Smith has 74 through 5.

What I don't get

is WHY do all these WEAK BROTHERS that are expected to be able to play baseball, play on the same day ?

Why not rest one guy one day, another the next ? Why all at once ? Why is Mathis playing when Napoli should be in ?

I agree

This is making me more nervous than anything.

When our regulars are finally going to be playing again, they’ll be out of sync, need to finetune their swing, and so on and so on. They’ll be playing like crap the first few games.

Vlad’s been out for 4 or more days now. Torii has been out for several, even though he played yesterday, he was out several days before that. Rivera will be out for several days. Figgins is out for several more.

It does not look good at all. This team is banged up bad. Anyone who says this is a completely different team going in to the playoffs vs last year is mistaken; the only difference is Teixeira and he alone cannot fix this.

Why not try the home field route?

It’s easier to win games than it is to get people healthy. Home field advantage is guaranteed to the team that wins the most games. Resting a player for the whole season doesn’t guarantee he’ll be healthy for the playoffs. Can we, for once, take the guaranteed route?

What I'm saying is that if we're choosing between being healthy and getting home field

We can only get one in a guaranteed way.

pitch selection is no BOTG

errors cost this one. if anything blame him for his error — and that ONLY.

by yeswecan on Sep 17, 2008 9:41 PM PDT up reply actions

he gave up two hits and a walk, and had a game ending error for 2 runs. that's a homer away from being Speier.

by Quinlan's Goofy Swing on Sep 17, 2008 9:42 PM PDT up reply actions

the pitch selection was particulary crappy

Barton is a crap hitter and the only thing he can hit is a fastball. Frankie hasn’t been throwing his slider early in innings all year and in his blown saves it’s cost him.

by MH252525 on Sep 17, 2008 9:43 PM PDT up reply actions

he needs to get back to doing it, because a single or a walk = a double with the catching combined with his delivery.

by cardinalwraith on Sep 17, 2008 9:38 PM PDT up reply actions

Key of the game

Throwing Barton a 1-2 fastball leading off the inning. That was way too good of a pitch. K-Rod reached the majors because of his slider. I just wish he would throw it before the winning run is on base once in a while.

He had Barton totally set up for a slider having not thrown him one in the ab, it has always been his best pitch. Just throw it!

by yeswecan on Sep 17, 2008 9:42 PM PDT up reply actions

uh Barton put a good swing on that 94 mph fastball on the outside corner

which means he was most likely looking it, which isn’t shocking because any advance scout could tell the A’s that Frankie isn’t throwing his slider until he has to. It’s been a year long trend. Do you really think based on the swing he put on the fastball he would have put a nice swing on his devastating slider????

by MH252525 on Sep 17, 2008 9:45 PM PDT up reply actions

hypothetical

if he would’ve missed with the slider and given up a HR, you’d be bitching about throwing the slider.

by yeswecan on Sep 17, 2008 9:46 PM PDT up reply actions

Well

Yes everything is hypothetical….. you can play 2 7 offsuit in poker and crack aces like 10% of the time but it’s still a stupid play.

ESPN ran a stat in a nationally broadcast game and it showed that Frankie and Shields had absolutely SICK numbers when throwing there curves/sliders. I believe that at the time hitters were hitting under like .050 against their curves/sliders. Could he have hit a homerun against a slider? Yes, based on Frankies 7 years in the majors though I KNOW that hitters hit much better against his fastball than his slider.
