Open Thread: Game 91 - A's vs. Mariners (cont.)
by louismg on Jul 9, 2008 8:37 PM PDT
307 comments
You know, I was all set to delight in the A's 4-1 lead over the Mariners, topped off by a 3-run double from Donnie Murphy which saw Jack Hannahan just level Jeff Clement at the plate, but unfortunately for us, there was another inning, which saw Blanton implode, giving up five runs, which now has the A's trailing 6-4.
Whether it should be 6-4 or 5-4 is up for debate, thanks to Kurt Suzuki performing some odd calisthenics at the plate, and missing Ibañez (or so says the ump).
Cust's 2nd inning home run is but a distant memory as well. Onward and upward, A's!

Please tell me why Blanton is still in the rotation?
He has single handedly kept the A’s out of contention this year.
by Oaktownflav on Jul 9, 2008 8:39 PM PDT reply actions 0 recs
I think they were hoping and praying
he would have a good first half. Then he has pretty good trade value.

Exactly
He is a right naded Barry Zito.
He wasn’t traded because no one wanted him. That is obvious. Either that or Billy thinks he is worth more than what a normal person thinks he is worth. Right now he is not worth half a dozen bats

Like KMo said below, it was hard to tell which way he was leaning
But if he throws home there’s no play at all and runners are at first and third. He took a chance and it paid off if not for whatever that call was.

I think the runner was leaning back towards 3rd when he threw it there.
It was kind of hard to see for sure on the camera though, but he was still in the picture when they showed the ball arriving at 3rd.

Yes. That rule seriously applies to little league baseball.
Major league players should have been able to execute that play much better. I still would have preferred going home first.

Run at him until he commits, throw there
If he’s too close to third and gets back, then not throwing was a good idea anyway.

Nico, thank you for stating the apparently not so obvious.....
I’m truly befuddled that some regular posters here on AN, did not know what to do in that situation. You run at him until he commits one way or the other (Barton did not do this) and then you make the throw dictated by the runner. This is a pretty fundamental “rule of thumb” to follow.
I guess many of you have not played baseball. You sure know your stats though. Keep up the good work AN.
Glad to know Nico knows his stuff (no sarcasm intended).

Cupcakes -20lbs would, in my opinion, make a HUGE difference. I know it is easy to pick on his weight but it seems Joe has had a consistent pattern of starting off really well (first 4 -5innings), and then imploding. If he had less weight to carry around, I’ve got to belive he’d have more endurence, and be able to sustain his performance longer (please ignore the inuendo). Perhaps they should work it into his contract, or mandate it this offseason.

computer translation of a Spanish language article
Spanish word for outfielder is something like “patrullero”, which means patroller (which sort of makes sense), but it’s also the Spanish word for a boat, so the program translated it as “patrol craft”.

why not?
Blanton had a 7.16 ERA in June. Braden could’ve done that. Colby Lewis could do that, Shane Komine could do that.
How about we get a long man in just for Blanton games? Let Joe face the lineup twice, regardless of the inning or pitch count, then just bring in the long man.
by asfansince1989 on Jul 9, 2008 9:15 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs
Or
Bring in the long man to start the game for 2 innings, then let Blanton pitch 4-5 innings, so if he does well he still has a good chance to get the W.

They picked Joe Barry Carroll with the #1 they got from the Celtics for Parrish and the #3 (McHale)
JB obviously wasn’t worth either Parrish or McHale, but calling him “a guy who lasted in the league for a year” is ridiculous.
The Dubs would LOVE to have JB Carroll, and his 20 points/9 rebounds a game, next year. And he was a key guy in the Warriors’ comeback from 0-2 to the Jazz in a 5-game playoff series, which they won 3-2.

Playing Blanton must be frustrating.
Every time he takes the mound, you expect to lose instead of win. When you play as hard as you can and score a few runs, he gives them right back and more.

As good as the team ERA has been
Blanton, Foulke and Embree are responsible for 18 losses if you count tonight as a loss. 17 if we come back and there is still home, be it minimal.
You cannot blame the run support thing on most of Blanton’s losses of late. He plain sucks and is an embarrassement to his team and fans alike.
And as Iglew points out below.
He threw 1,000 pitches the start before

Well, his numbers will factor into his arbitration hearing

what i meant was, when joe tanks (which happens a lot), its usually just one awful inning. those good starts, and the fact that he coasts for much of his other starts minus the bad inning, and ultimately his track record, are why i think he can’t possibly be this bad. its also why he’s a terrible candidate to trade – his value is rock bottom. but that also means we can resign him on the cheap.

Exactly
Whether you are rebuilding, 20 games over or 20 games under, a win is a win and it is not satisfactory or acceptable to have some worthless pitcher throw up on the mound and lose game after game because he does not have the mental capacity to buckle down when the going gets rough. He implodes.
Just imagine if he pitched half way like he was supposed to pitch at the start of the season. Say he was 10-7 instead of 5-12 and we would be a hell of a lot closer. It is amazing we are 7 games over .500 with this imposter on the mound

I like Cindi. A. She never pretends to know more than she does. B. She has unbridled enthusiasm for her "Hotties," and isn't afraid to show it. -IM4Oakgal

I wonder if Beane offered Blanton instead of Gaudin to Cubs

Damn Big Joe
Even though Donnie Murphy had a good game the A’s never should have parted with Scooter, because as Reg says he’s way VORPIER than VORPER than Donald.
