Open Thread: Game 36 - A's vs. Orioles (cont)
by baseballgirl on May 7, 2008 2:20 PM PDT
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?
by Zonis on May 7, 2008 2:21 PM PDT reply actions 0 recs
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 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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 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?

I don't think Carter is too flashy with the glove.
