Yes, rarely
“Since the late 1980s, usage has become the following: in AA and AAA games, the DH is used unless both teams are farm clubs of NL teams, in which case pitchers bat. In class A or lower games, the DH is always used. Though it is officially a AAA league, the Mexican League uses a DH in all games.”

Interesting quirk to earned/unearned I recently learned
Say, for example, the A’s would’ve really beaten up on Jurrjens in the 2nd inning and Bobby Cox chose to take him out of the game before the inning ended. Obviously all of his runs were unearned, but any of the relief pitcher’s runs allowed that inning would be earned. I guess the logic is that you can forgive the pitcher for giving up more runs after the error, but if a new pitcher comes into the game he’s not getting “extra” outs.

Both?
I knew I should have watched the game instead of writing my ex how much I still love her and miss her, even though I broke up with her. Those notes never work,lol

Haven't seen an earned run
all week.
I've come to the conclusion that the two most important things in life are good friends and a good bullpen.

Go fuck yourself someone. (Brown, Eveland, Geren)
Eveland rocks! Eveland rocks! Somewhere Drew Carey just smiled.
Definitely all Geren's fault
How could he…um…

Like I said a while back,
Brown is this year’s John Mabry. It’s too bad that he has to hurt us for a while as we “pay for past performance” until we say “Oh you really do suck.”

Most of his career after
carrying the A’s for part of 2001. Not “awful” suck, but not anyone’s answer to anything.

He really doesn't look like a good OF to me.
In just 43 games, I’ve seen him fail to pick up routine singles for errors, drop or miss flyballs he was in position to catch, and miss the cutoff man a couple of times.

Eveland with the F-bomb
who’s keeping track of these things?

For how bad our hitting is
we could at least have okay OF defense.
"And Julio Franco is batting right-handed!" -- Wayne Hagin, A's radio play-by-play, mid-80s
Geren's damned if he does, doesn't
Put Sweeney/Buck/just about anyone else in right, the fans bitch about the offense. Leave Brown and his semblance of offense in right, fans bitch about the defense. There’s no complete player to be playing those corner spots right now.

another whiff by brown
that maybe be the third time this year he has whiffed a ball near the wall. he shortened his stride cuz he was under it and then pussed out
The problem for the A's is that...
all the chickens are coming home to roost.
You can only hide your flaws so much. You can only hide your many bad hitters, your lack of power, your horrible outfield defense so much.
We aren’t doing well at hiding these problems on this trip.
On a side note that I’m sure is getting ample mention on the site: I’m guessing Emil Brown’s days as an everyday player are about to be numbered.
Nick
You’re absolutely right … that’s a fly ball that really isn’t that tough to catch … he got scared.
I needed a team so I wouldn’t turn into one of the eighty million pink hat-wearing Bud Light-drinking mulleted idiots at Fenway.
Eveland pitched great
It’s the offense that’s the problem.
"We were s--, pathetic," Guillen growled early in spring training. "We hit too many home runs."
We might have to earn some runs now.

ohtobe21likehuston: But you're good at drinking and cussing. Two out of three ain't bad.
I'm pissed
I’m off the Brown bandwagon … I don’t care if he has 150 RBI, that damn ball has to be caught … hell, it didn’t even hit off the wall.
I needed a team so I wouldn’t turn into one of the eighty million pink hat-wearing Bud Light-drinking mulleted idiots at Fenway.
Rest assured, he won't drive in 150 either
He’ll just miss fly balls and cut-off men while producing a .300 OBP. Travis Buck, please report to right field.

There was a Brown bandwagon?
Shouldn’t we just be grateful for the over-performance and move on?
We should just be happy he filled in effectively for Buck
