that was a Kruko favorite

As Matt Morris left the mound, usually losing, you’d hear about it being a Quality Start and him being a gamer. The two always run together for me.

Enjoy the game

I think he plans on Ziggy for 2, Street for 1

I have no problem with that.

Ziegler is fresh and Smith is a rookie

Ziggy could go two and then Street can blow it in the 9th. That’s how we roll.

Alright, so here's the deal:

Bob Geren has now shown everyone that he would rather look like the “good guy skipper” and tow Street out there again and again….this time with a precious 1 run lead, instead of looking to “win” the ballgame”. They really, really needed this one, bad!
The team is fucking so demoralized right now, I don’t know that there is a single player in that clubhouse that fells like they’re ever gonna win again. What’s more disturbing to me is that now I wonder that there is any turning back Huston Street’s psyche…........

I agree with the first part, it was nuts to send Street out there to close.

I disagree with the part about Street not turning it around, assuming it’s an injury and the team handle it well (DL him, or demote him till he refinds his stuff). If they keep on wheeling him out there to blow saves though they’ll permanently damage him.

He’s 5 for 10 with a 1-run lead
Which means he’s 13 for 14 with more than 2+ runs.

1.99 ERA for pitches 1-15
8.04 ERA for pitches 16-30

Closing is overrated

Come on, you come into the game with nobody on base and pitch one inning? Ziggy has been pitching with guys on base where the only option is a double play. That’s a high leverage situation and those are what Ziggy needs to be in. The problem is Street can’t get anybody out no matter what inning he’s pitching.

More tireless trade and team building vomit.

Well, if I can get my appetite back, it's time to make some dinner.

There's no textbook for how to treat a geriatric tapir.

Make Street a starter

this way he can still get his inning in, maybe work his way through it, and at the worst he would only cost 1 game out of 5. Who knows, maybe he pulls a Duke.

But Duke's ALWAYS been good.

yeah, just venting anyway

Where can we stick Street that will make him better again? DL, not going to happen if he says he’s not hurt. AAA, don’t think he’ll get the kind of competition to challenge him. He has to pitch to major leaguers, but he has to start off at a less pressure situation. The close-up on him just looks bad, the dude is sweating bullets. I doubt the temperature is that hot in the dome, I think he just can’t handle the pressure. Maybe every time we send him in, we should check his pulse 1st and make sure he’s not hyper ventilating or anything.

Why?

So we can see Street’s scared non-killer-instinct expression through the first two innings of a game?

Anybody wanna buy a Street bobblehead?

Oh wait, he blew the save that game too.

Street sucks, he always has sucked except for his rookie year. The good news is that we sure as hell won’t be offering him a contract extension. The bad news is that we squandered what little trade value he had dickering around. In general I am starting to wonder about the front office’s ability to evaluate pitching and talent in general. We traded Harden for very little because we were betting he’d melt down. That bet loses so far. Speaking of which, don’t even get me traded on Meltdown Bradley.

I meant “started” on Meltdown

Pitching Street is all on Management

We are not Doctors but I bet money thatr Street has been hurt all season long but they continue to run him out there.

That is on upper management.

Even a deaf and Blind man knows this guy should not be pitching period.

No wonder no one wanted him. He’s Garbage

I hate unproductive outs and the A's are producing them at record production
