Open Thread: Game 36 - A's vs. Orioles  (cont)

Baseball_tiny by baseballgirl on Comment 397 comments

We head to the bottom of the sixth inning, as the A's, backed by RBI-machine Emil Brown, Kurt Suzuki's first homerun of the year, Blanton's hard-fought five and 2/3 innings of work, and Joey Devine's relief one-batter appearance, cling to a 3-2 lead.

Question
Can you use the DH for a position player?

It seems like it should be possible, simply having said player start the game as the starting pitcher, with the pitcher playing the position, throw a ball, then make a pitching change and swap the players, right?

I replied in the old thread, but no, you can't.

Somewhere in the rules it says for the pitcher.

I think if you put the pitcher into the field...

....you lose the DH.

On the other hand, there’s nothing in the rulebook that says an elephant can’t play!

Blanton

Has Blanton NOT been knocked out of a game this year? Seems like every single game Geren tried to go 1 too many innings with him. Getting very frustrating.

by rageon on May 7, 2008 2:25 PM PDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Don't freak!

Blanton’s still the pitcher of record. He can’t lose, but he can win.

And I trust our pen.

by GreenNGoldSooner on May 7, 2008 2:26 PM PDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Why would I...

...care whether or not Blanton gets the win. I’m far more concered about whether the TEAM gets the win. And Geren always goes 1 too many with Blanton, and it’s already cost more than 1 game because of it.

by rageon on May 7, 2008 2:26 PM PDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Not today...

No way in hell you take him out after 5.

by OaktownPower on May 7, 2008 2:27 PM PDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Agreed in general (of course)

But I actually think the Blanton management wasn’t terrible today. Maybe pull him a batter or two earlier, but no more than that.

People would be bitching if the Staff Ace was pulled after 5 innings of shutout ball.

by mikev on May 7, 2008 2:26 PM PDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Even with 90 pitches?

I think A’s fans are smart enough to realize that (1) when Blanton tires, he REALLY tires, and (2) he gets tired after 90 pitches or so.

by rageon on May 7, 2008 2:27 PM PDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Really?

Through 5 with a shutout and that number of pitches, you would have yanked him? Cmon now….

That's like saying you always find what you're looking for

in the last place you look, rageon. You don’t usually pull a pitcher until he shows signs of struggling.

No. It's not.

Blanton has been knocked out of basically every single start this year. Did you really think he was getting out of the inning after the walk? Really? Because I certainly didn’t.

Go ahead, commence talking about “hindsight” and how “it’s easy to say that after the fact.”

Okay, you're right.

Geren should have pulled Blanton after 5 innings without allowing a run. I can’t even believe that guy has a job.

Clearly Brown was going to give up the game tying hit. NO excuse for not pulling him there.

Teams are realizing that Blanton can only go for 5-6 innings..

forcing him to throw more pitches early on and wear him down. This is Oakland style baseball, but it should not be allowed to be used against us.

The notion that Blanton "can only go for 5-6 innings"

is untrue. Maybe for a one-month stretch over a 3+ year period, but certainly not a pattern associated with Blanton.

by Nico on May 7, 2008 2:29 PM PDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

OK, Blanton CAN go more than 5-6

but he is going to allow 2+ runs if he does. History shows that Blanton tends to give up runs later on, as most pitchers do. However, he isn;t an Ace pitcher to me. A solid #2 or #3, but not good enough to be a #1.

by RJ2549 on May 7, 2008 2:32 PM PDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

I haven't seen or heard anyone claim he IS a #1 starter

Including Beane, Geren, Blanton, or folks on AN. Perhaps the problem is expecting ace pitching from a #2 starter – that’s not Blanton’s fault.

I know we are in a “rebuilding year” but every team needs a #1 pitcher

I think Barton is projected to have a better batting average

Similar On Base numbers, but probably an average fielder, and not much power (15HR a year kinda guy) So not too far from the Hatteberg mold

I was asking

what they might do with a guy like Barton if Doolittle or Carter can play a good 1st base with alot more pop. Do they move him to DH?
