Around SBN: The cost of firing vs. the cost of retaining head coaches

Open Thread - Game 25: A's vs. Cubs (cont.)

Eveland got whacked around regularly in his 4+ innings, while Dempster and squandered opportunity has kept the A's off the board.  Cubs lead the A's 5-0 going into the bottom of the 5th.  Hopefully this offense can get going and the A's bullpen can hold down the fort, becuase I'm getting very tired of hearing the cheers of Cubs fans at what is supposed to be a home game for the A's!

I wouldn't trust the movement either.

Here’s how it works:

If a ball is put in play, Gameday will always say it happened on pitch #1/
If a K is recorded, Gameday will show 3 straight strikes (no matter how many pitches actually happened) usually right down the middle.
If a walk is recorded, Gameday will show 4 straight balls (no matter how many pitches actually happened) in random locations

I do!

I would also like it if he pitched like I know he can!

If ever a game should have been called on account of wind, that one was it. Good thing Jerry Blevins didn't have to pitch; he's tall, skinny, and I could practically see one of the 40-mph gusts...sweeping him off the bump and pinning him to the left-field fence. --Mychael Urban

Isn’t the offense supposed to be better this year to help the young arms?

Enjoy the game

I'm sorry, I know it's spring training but

I would actually prefer that Jerry Blevins get someone out occasionally. Just occasionally.

He got an out. And didn't let his runner score...

Until next inning…

I fall asleep for six hours

and this is how you repay me, AN? It was 4-1 when I passed out took a nap. Can’t you guys manage to keep the opposing score under 10 or so?!

Almost as odd
