Donnie Murphy equals
Marco Scutaro minus a little defense and clutch factor. Basically, he should never start unless somebody needs an occasional day off

Offensively, some pretty good minor league numbers
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.

he adds that extra dimension to the A’s game with regards to Speed, as well as his bunting ability
S&BP > Mile High Mules ............ Like Sharks? http://mvn.com/nhl-sharks/
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.

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.

At first I was thinking, “why the heck are they playing a clip of a game where we lose?” Then I heard it. Classic.

I think that was the last time
Bill ever traveled with the A’s to Arlington. He always made it pretty clear how much he despised the place after that.
What was Millar doing
playing halfway between first and second???
Even if Walker got a decent jump toward first, I doubt that he would have beat Davis.

"quick to react"
is the key here. I understand the pitcher has a shorter distance, but as someone pointed out, a lefty may have his momentum going toward third. Maybe when he eyeballed the swing, he thought the ball was going toward third…who knows…

Good
go use this knowledge of the future for something grand instead of turning on the “junkball” crap
If it irritates me, i’m sure it irritates others as well

Not that 0ak actually cares about anyone else here enjoying the game thread.
"And Julio Franco is batting right-handed!" -- Wayne Hagin, A's radio play-by-play, mid-80s
Too bad
0ak is cool for the first 8 innings, but once the word “Street” comes on, something happens.
Its always the same thing. Sure, hate the person, hate the player, but no sense in getting all negative here.
Just open up a .txt file and type it up there

True
"We were s--, pathetic," Guillen growled early in spring training. "We hit too many home runs."
no problem
I’m sure we can string together another couple of infield hits, a walk, and a clean single for a run
Better get the next out
since you blew the game for Eveland
Let's get the win and forget about Huston's stats.
A win is a win!

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.
Jeremy was safe. He jumped over the tag.

Now it is time for a walk off
And if it goes to extras, DO NOT ALLOW Street to pitch another inning AND NO BRADEN
ugh like i want ryan sweeney or brown to HR
but i don’t want them to get more PT
Jeremy was safe. He jumped over the tag.
that's a tough matrix you've laid out

but emotional yesterday might have taken a little extra out of him

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.
formerly known as mdl
Lets go A's!!
Street cant blow it again at least, so get a run and its all good

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?
Jeremy was safe. He jumped over the tag.
Stop this, both of you
Can’t you see that SH is tearing us apart?

Can Davis bunt?
A squeeze here would be neat.

good candidate for suicide squeeze with less than 2 outs, but not with D playing bunt with 2 outs
Jeremy was safe. He jumped over the tag.
If Davis had known how to bunt, a Squeeze would have been awesome
but every time Davis has tried to bunt, he’s popped it up towards first
Arggh.
Okay, I’ll jump on the bandwagon: no more Street! Plz.

Really haven't liked Davis's approach at the plate tonight

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.

Devine's best inning so far that I've seen
Probably because unlike Street, he doesn’t just throw junk up there. {bans self}
