Open Game Thread - Game 116: A's @ Tigers

PrintOakland Athletics at Detroit Tigers, Aug 9, 2008 4:05 PM PDT
It's been an eventful 24 hours in A's land.
Most importantly, the A's got off the schneid and broke their 10-game losing streak last night -- and against A's-killer Kenny Rogers and Braden-killer Magglio Ordonez, no less.
Erstwhile closer Huston Street did not clear waivers (not, surprisingly, recently deposed Seattle GM Bill Bavasi did) and, according to Slusser, Huston will likely be staying put ... although the groundwork may be in place for a postseason deal.
Brad Ziegler got his first MLB save last night in Street's stead, while extending his scoreless-inning streak. While I'm as excited for Ziggy as the next guy, saves get a big MEH from me -- so long as Geren keeps using Ziggy in the highest-leverage situations and lets him keep pitching for reasonable amounts of multiple innings.
Today, the A's try to get a positive streak started. The Tattered Remnant of the Hudson Trade gets the start for the A's, while Armando Galarraga takes the mound for the Tigers.
It still remains to be seen whether Jack Cust and Ryan Sweeney are in game condition (each has an injured finger), and whether the A's make a move to replenish the bench.

That answers that
Since Street didn’t clear waivers is a big reason Ziggy was closing last night. I think Beane was show casing last week even though he wasn’t pitching well. Now that he is with the team rest of the year I would bet that Street will be a set up guy and spot closer. He could be going on DL soon. He may just have a dead arm. If his next game is a big flop I would bet he will be on the DL.
Unrelated, does anyone else wonder what kind of drugs Rotoworld is on?
Just in the past few days they’ve said Carlos Gonzalez went 4-for-4 against Greg Smith and pointed to the importance of that because Gonzalez has struggled against lefties, when not only is Smith his teammate, he faced a right-hander.
Last night they said the A’s beat the Giants.
Now today, they write “Ziegler is also up to 37 scoreless innings to start his career, the second longest streak in MLB history.”
Could they be any more confusing? We all know Ziegler passed that record 12 innings ago and now they say it’s only the second longest?

that's the sort of thing that makes me doubt all the advanced fielding and batted-ball metrics
Not that RotoWorld is responsible for generating/compiling the raw data for those, but that … random people are, with (presumably) imprecise measuring scales.
There were a lot of stupid, long confusing words that I’m sure normal people don’t use. @('.')@
RotoWorld has gotten really sloppy
It’s like he throws it together in a big hurry, not bothering to check for typos or accuracy. It’s been in gradual decline for a long time now. Maybe just a coincidence, but it seems like the decline began right about the same time the widget started appearing on AN. I don’t remembering it being nearly this bad when I used to go to the Roto site.

Maybe. I'm not sure what rugging a head entails.
I have a splitting toothache, although the Vicodin has helped a lot. There’s gotta be a good Swooney remedy for a toothache.
Damn. Rub.

But more than likely, if they have it will be right into a truck.

Sub out Hannahan and Crosby for upgrades of any kind for next year, resign Thomas, hope Barton can turn it around, and then have Buck/Cunningham ready for when someone inevitably gets injured. It’s doable.

It's weird
Because he’ll make great pitches to the batters that aren’t hitting bombs off him and then he’ll serve up one bad pitch and it’s gone.

I beg to differ.
You’re gonna have to screw someone else’s eyes open, ‘cause I’m off to eat dinner. Hope Meyer can do okay without me.
Wait! Come back!

What about the A's play
would make you want to switch the channel?

He's looked good at times
Especially the first inning, but where he’s ran into trouble is leaving hittable pitches over the heart of the plate which has resulted in the three homers.

Historically, he hasn't.
At least it seems that way to me. I still hate Ordonez, so I may be a little biased.

His neck would get plenty of exercise
as it swivels
I hate unproductive outs and the A's are producing them at record production
You're thinking of the old Huston. We've made him better now, with techology.

I was just about to type that he was challenging the hitters and not nibbling

not so much on the third HR
That was a decent pitch. Batter just went out and got it (not unlike Frank’s HR).
There were a lot of stupid, long confusing words that I’m sure normal people don’t use. @('.')@
Well it was a good pitch
in that it was on the outside corner, but it was a belt-high changeup which isn’t a good idea.

I knoq whar we are missing
I got it! What we need is another starting left handed pitcher who tops out at about 88 miles an hour, We do not have enough of that! In addition we need more players go 8 for 80 like Mark Ellis, and another Hannahan who goes 0 for 25. Maybe we add another Crosby who actually hits the ball okay every 10 at bats! Billy Beane, Bob Geren, you are a embarresment to baseball! I think Oakland ought to give the A’s 36 hours to get out of there city, and volunteer drivers to help get them out!
