Street injured
Sigh.

OAKLAND, Calif. -- Huston Street has a slight muscle strain on the right side of his chest that will keep the Oakland closer out of action at least through Friday.
The reigning AL Rookie of the Year felt tightness beneath the armpit area of his throwing arm on the third-to-last pitch he threw during his save for the Athletics on Tuesday night against the Detroit Tigers, the fourth outing in five days for the right-hander.
The A's are taking no chances that this could become serious, though Street said he is virtually pain-free now. If it were later in the season he would probably pitch through it.

Well,
I was cursing Macha for not putting him in the game, then was steamed when he let duke face that last batter after going on 30 pitches. It was evident to me that he didn't have his best stuff and Mach left him in.
I tell you

I blame this
Street's Sunday appearance
Several posters, in the debate over whether Street should have pitched Sunday, talked about how many pitches he had thrown Friday and Saturday. And they said he should be treated carefully, because it's early in the season, and because he didn't get a proper spring training due to the World Baseball Classic.
I disagreed, defended Macha's decisions, and said Street needed to start closing on three consecutive nights when the situation warranted.
Now, maybe this injury is a big coincidence and would have happened anyway. And it's difficult, for us and Macha, to know the future. That said, this development is certainly a compelling argument for those who criticized Macha's use of Street on Sunday.
Another "maybe"--
In that scenario, it's a Dan Meyer redux, and the blame falls squarely on Street, IMO.
