though his defense is mostly based on what I’ve seen. Scutaro fails miserably both by the eye test and according to the metrics I trust.

Though so far his bunting ability appears to be
the ability to pop it up foul. I think Millar should have let Roberts try to get it – but then, I’m used to Ellis! Only chance they had, though, was 4-3.

I think Rajai is worth keeping around
But here’s the counter to the argument: A better hitter actually gets a real hit there and doesn’t NEED a fielding blunder + great speed to get the A’s a run.

Right call to pitch to Markakis just to avoid “nowhere to put him” with Mora – but Markakis will soon be their best hitter…probably already is.

but please just shut up. If your whining about Street were related to his actual performance, I could deal with it. But if Street closed a game with 3 straight 3-pitch Ks you’d say, “How is this junkballer King everyone?”
Just posting the same, pointless, premeditated and predictable crap is really, really annoying. You hate him so much? Post a damn diary explaining with actual evidence and arguments. Don’t wait until the tensest part of the game to dump your negative crap on us—we actually want Street to succeed.

relax guys
he was a little off, but was still OK. give a closer a bunch of 1-run save opps and he’ll give you a bunch of BS.

Huston seems off
everything seems like a big effort, lots of sweating. I think it’s time to convert Casilla into a closer and let Huston go. Too much drama!

If you're really going to make Casilla the closer
Better to trade Street before changing his label.

SH is the stupidest stat
why should it be BA neutral, but “trying to keep the ball on the ground” and moving a runner over not be BA neutral?

That was the first run he's given up since April 19
And it happened on a ball that was a double play ball if it wasn’t hit so poorly.

Probably because unlike Street, he doesn’t just throw junk up there. {bans self}
