Yup.
I didn’t think Smith was especially wild. Maybe I’m just used to it.

I want them to finish strong
more than I care about the draft position.
that may not be good business, but it’s pure fan desire.

so I missed the experience altogether.

Agree.
I really want to see them finish strong. It’ll mean something next season, especially if they believe they are a good team. Winter is a long time to sharpen a grudge.

That was a craptastic outing by Smith
I really hope he improves on this year, because I like him, but he really has been bad lately.
by MrIncognito on Sep 22, 2008 7:06 PM PDT 0 recs
How do you figure?
Great lineup, tough ballpark to pitch in, 5 IP, 2 runs – and without Cunningham dropping a fly ball it might be one run.

I figure it's:
6th: Blevins
7th: Street
8th: Ziggy
9th: Devine
if the A’s keep the lead.

I agree
but would rather it be Ziggy in the ninth… only because I need a save for my fantasy team.

Compared to the run support...
Smith has had a stellar year. If I remember the stat I correctly, Smith had the second worst run support numbers in MLB history. He does a great job picking of runners as well.

He's a bit underrated on AN, I think -
He’ll finish the season with around 190 IP and an ERA around 4.00 with a BAA that’s 4th-5th in the league IIRC. As a rookie.

I'm not opposed to it - the rotation depth is there
and Smith doesn’t figure to become more than a #3 starter

That's pitching in Oakland though
One of the hardest stadiums to hit in with one of the best team defenses in the majors behind him.
The A’s make pitch-to-contact guys look better than they are.

But then when he pitches really effectively in Arlington it's luck?
The guy has to pitch wherever the game is. He hasn’t been great but I think he’s been good. At the very least, he has been a legitimate innings-eater.

There’s value in 190 slightly below average innings, but like I said it’s not very exciting after the promising start to the season he had.

His DERA is 4.27. Is that really only "slightly below average"?

He's not all that hittable, he walks too many,
he never misses a start, he gets a fair number of swinging strikes – plenty to work on and plenty to like.
He’s a ROOKIE. They sometimes suddenly make strides forward.

Also he's never pitched this many innings.
If his reputation is really “below average” going forward, I think he might be underrated.
