Yes, we need to win as many games as possible down the stretch, but come on, it’s the A’s, it’s not like they have a good team. Let some guys get some rest, let some of the bench players get a chance to show something. Besides, there’s two more weeks to go before the post-season, the Halos have plenty of time to shine.

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.

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.

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?

home field doesn't guarantee wins

just like healthy players doesn’t, either.

by yeswecan on Sep 17, 2008 9:21 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

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.

What was soth thinking? I’m all for giving the starters a little rest, but not all at the same time. Don’t just throw away a game by putting in our bench as the starting lineup.

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.

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!

My first thought was: WHY DIDN'T HE THROW THE CHANGE!?

pitch selection is no BOTG

his throwing error was FAR more costly

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????

hypothetical

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

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.

BTW I take offense at you saying I'd bitch about him throwing the slider

if it had been hit.

Frankie’s slider is a top 5 pitch in all of MLB. I’ll never get upset at him throwing it.

YWC and MH252525

Can you please declare who is bitching at who and who cares the most?

My god that was painful to watch!

What the hell were Mathews and Frankie doing out there? It’s a damn major league ballgame going on!

Blame of the game is KROD, with a very special assist from GMJ to give away all the joy that big Tex had just given us.

GMJ should go play golf with the Finley's

Chuck and Steve should have another guy to add to their group.

I was screaming my head off when Teix hit that hr

and then I was screaming my head off when Frankie threw that horrible ball to him.

Driven into right-center field, Erstad says he has it...the Angels, world champions!
