A's and O's heading to extra innings after both teams have been fairly inept offensively tonight.  Game tied 1-1 with both teams "that close" to winning it in the ninth.

LET'S GO A'S!!!!!!

by IM4Oakgal on May 5, 2008 10:21 PM PDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Not questioning the defense that goes without saying

You will notice that most of his outs with runners on are UNPRODUCTIVE. He does not help in that situation.

He hits well in the second half but the least he can do is attmept to look like he is trying to move runners and not look totally lost at the plate. I like Mark Ellis, he has been rock solid for us overall over the years but this auto-out stuff is getting old. I see we are facing a lefty tomorrow so he will be in the 2 hole. I would play Barton in the 2 hole against the Lefty and move Ellis down to the 7 or 8 hole

by Trainman on May 5, 2008 10:26 PM PDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

I agree with moving Ellis down

He’s just a little cold right now. But he’ll come around. We can’t come down too hard on him.

Lost in the shuffle

Was the performance of Embree (much hated around here)

Brown quieted some of his critics tonight (no—he won’t be sent away when Buck or CarGon come back/up

And I have to give credit to Street—after a near-disastrous beginning—the fact is that he did his job and stopped the bleeding.

And hard to see either Eveland or Smith going anywhere—me thinks either a 6 man rotation or Duke to the pen might be in the offing when Harden returns

I don't hate Embree

But he does make me nervous. That’ll happen with a reliever who is, essentially, about average for his career.

Why should one game change an opinion about Brown? Can’t I be thrilled he came through in a big spot and still think that, overall, he’s not very good? It’s this day to day living and dying with each player that I really don’t like. Maybe I’m a hard sell, but just as I wasn’t ready to dump Cust for a slow month, I’m not ready to say how awesome Brown is for a slighty-above-his-personal-average month.

And Street really didn’t pitch poorly tonight. The leadoff double hurt, but after that (the walk, I think, was unintentionally intentional) he was good. Giving up the run was as much bad luck as anything.

I don't want to get into a pissing contest

Cuz I’ve seen you around here and you seem like a nice guy. But a solid career with good, consistent numbers isn’t something you regress from at age 24. He’s pitching about like he always pitches: not completely 100% shutdown .67 WHIP, just an above-average, competent closer that converts the vast, vast majority of his save opportunities.

I just happen to think we do have shutdown guys on this team. He’s clearly not one of them. And, that’s what you want as a closer. If Billy’s keeping him in that role to enhance his value as trade bait, that’s cool with me, but I just hate to sacrifice wins on the alter of trade value.

Fans would like Street a lot more if

they didn’t expect him to be perfect. He doesn’t have to be a great closer in order to still be a good closer. That’s how I see him: A good-but-not-great closer. We could do worse.

How? By putting Casilla in and

having worse pitching in the 7th/8th? Or do you want Street pitching in the 8th and Casilla in the 9th, meaning both are not in their most familiar/comfortable roles but you still get the same number of innings from each?

Casilla, Devine, Brown...

they’d all be better closers. Street can be the 7th inning guy. That way, it’s not as painful (nor crucial) when he gives up the inevitable run. We still have more time to come back from it.

"painful"

that’s the key. Ninth inning isn’t necessarily the most important inning. It is, however, the inning that makes the fans squirm the most. So what’s more important? Making the fans less anxious, or maximizing your chance of winning the game?

that we never give up a lead in the 7th inning? Is that just as good?

OK, so I said earlier that I didn't think people lied very often on sports blogs

But saying Street is “inevitably” going to give up runs is a lie. Straight up. You are intentionally falsifying facts to make an argument. And it’s bullshit. If you can make your case, do it without retarded-ass exaggerations.

He has 2 blown saves this year

And his ERA was 3.77 before tonight. Was he good before he gave up 1 run that boosted his ERA almost half a run?

It’s really, really tough to get a Hoffman or Rivera on your team. And, aside from that, I don’t really believe Street is closing because Beane/Geren believes he’s the best reliever on the team anyway. I’d rather see Brown or Casilla in the 7th/8th with 2 runners on and 1 out. Let Street come in to start the 9th. Most of the time, he’s gonna get the job done.

OK this is the second time I've seen "I'd rather have Brown..."

I mean when it comes to debating Casilla vs Street, it’s starting to become debatable who’s better. Even Devine has always been known to be absolutely filthy, but never been able to put it together. Throwing Andrew Brown, who is pitching very well, into that mix is starting to go a little too far, imo.

Jeremy was safe. He jumped over the tag.

Before tonight, he had a .694 OPS this year

A #5 hitter getting RBIs should not really be considered something amazing. If he and Crosby were flip-flopped this season, Crosby would be the guy everybody was treating as the second coming.

I’m glad when he does well, but I’m not going to confuse the occasional productive at bat and the beneficiary of circumstance for an overall amazing performance.

I guess here’s the main thing people need to consider: If Brown were, say, the #8 hitter all year and another guy were hitting in his spot in the order, would the A’s be any worse? I don’t think they would be. I mean, not unless that #5 guy was significantly worse or anything.

I'd say Brown has pretty much been

Jay Payton without the plus-defense. Payton was a hacker who came up big a bunch of times but had a low OBP and as a result a so-so OPS. But he could play all three OF positions well, and Brown plays one position OK.

No, they probably would be worse

because I’m at a loss to think of an A’s hitter right now who would KNOCK THE RUNNER IN ON SUCH A CONSISTENT BASIS!!! You act like this team (the last couple seasons) makes a habit of knocking in RISP (????) This team has been unbelievably abysmal at it … and now we have a guy who does it ... and he does it regularly.
I don’t think Emil Brown is great … I just think he’s doing an awesome job of winning games for us by knocking in runs. I don’t give a damn about anything else …

This warrants a study

not that it matters to me … but I wonder what Emil’s conversion rate (however you want to measure it) is with RISP vs. other #5 batters around the league with RISP … the fact that he’s #2 in RBI shouldn’t be a product of just circumstance, unless he happens to get way more RISP opportunities than other #5 batters.

All this said, I think he’d be even better if he could psych himself into thinking that all his at-bats are with RISP.

by Rickeyfan on May 5, 2008 10:41 PM PDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Well, he's something like 13-30 with RISP

so I’m sure he’s up there in the league among #5 hitters – but not in a way that one could expect to be sustainable.

Claiming "he's gonna crap out"

is every bit as dumb as claiming “he’s going to hit, he’s going to hit.”

Both of them display a complete lack of understanding of probability. He’s exactly as likely to hit next time as any other time. Just like the next time Emil Brown comes up with RISP, when his odds of getting a hit are somewhere in the close vicinity of 273 out of 1000.
