Open Thread: Game 120 - A's vs. Rays (Cont.)
by louismg on Aug 14, 2008 2:39 PM PDT

Print"It was the best of times, it was the blurst of times"?! you stupid monkey!
-- Montgomery Burns, Last Exit to SpringField
Two batters into this contest, the A's had a 2-0 lead, courtesy of a Mark Ellis triple and Carlos Gonzalez home run. And the next inning, they piled on, adding two more, after the Rays had answered to tie it up. That's right! 4 whole runs in 2 innings!
But the game went on, and the A's pitching got worse. Gallagher walked four and threw more than 90 pitches in 4 innings of work, and Dan Meyer, who followed, walked three in less than an inning, letting the Rays tie it up at 4-4.
Meanwhile, at bat, the A's love leaving the bases loaded. Today's goat? Emil Brown. And Alan Embree is pulling a "mini-Ziggy", going 1 1/3 scoreless innings. On to the bottom of the sixth! Go A's!

Why is everyone blaming Emil today. I blame Thomas. He was the one up with
less than 2 outs, when an out should score a run. Emil has 2 outs and needed a hit. Thomas has a OPS of .571 in August, and only a 760 for the year. I know he has had a better career, but Frank has been basically terrible since returning from the DL.

Ziggy at 39
I’m not following the A’s all that closely these days …and I hate to jinx things, but … has Ziggy had an outing this year where he allowed a runner even to get into scoring position with less than 2 outs? I’m sure he has, but it seems like he doesn’t even come close to giving up runs …
Yes, he has a number of times
More recently, they’ve come in a ‘leadoff batter reaches base, next batter sacrifices him to second’ situation.

I get the point of “If it helps it’s good, if it doesn’t it’s bad.”
Last of the Ninth - Photography Site / jamesvenes.com - Blog
isn't that argument a bit circular?
It works when it worked?
You could say the same about swinging away – it works when the guy hits a HR.
But when that guy is somebody like Crosby who is going to make an out anyway
It’s not necessarily a bad idea. Especially in a tie game in the 8th inning.
by thejd44 on Aug 14, 2008 3:27 PM PDT up reply actions
I know you're being facetious, but even with Crosby being really good at making outs
He’s “only” making an out 70% of the time.
Sac bunting makes an out pretty much 100% of the time.
I’ll take the 30% chance that he gets a hit.
Isn't the sabremetrics line
that to bunt when you have a runner on first with no/one out is bad, but to bunt with a runner on second with no outs is good, provided you have someone who can lay the bunt down?
