The A's haven't made a mental mistake in well over 15 minutes.

we're not the worst team in baseball!
we might learn to hit someday. the pitchers might get better someday. we might keep holliday. he might hit a home run for the A’s.
how’s that?

"Chavez will play as long as he's healthy"
Even if he keeps hitting .110 for 3 more weeks? You have to draw a line…
Clear its radiance shine...
Which is to say, he'll be out there as long as they possibly can run him out there.

Crosby seems like a more important issue to worry about re: salary

you can't keep playing someone that hits
.150 even if he plays better D than Jeter, Chavez and Hunter combined

The Yankees did with Jeter 2-3 years ago
He will continue to play as well unless he’s hurting. Face it.

With Jeter
You’re more confident as he did good last year.

And yeah
according to your argument we HAVE to play Crosby because he wins more money than Cabrera

Crosby doesn't win shit.
And his $5 million is the reason he hasn’t been DFA’d.

This is stupid
Not only are we bringing him in the fifth, we’re bringing him in to face the bottom of their order.
Seriously, why not just go sixteen hitters and nine pitchers if you’re only going to use four relievers anyway?
I understand that and agree with you.
But at some point you have to trust your long men. Or your best arms are going to be dead tired later in the year.

Can Bailey hit?
"Bobby Crosby at third is a bit of an adventure. And not like, here’s some hidden treasure, what fun. More like, gah! poison ants!" --alea iacta est
Time to score 9 runs and give Bailey his 3rd
win of the season.
Looks like Geren's
going to try the whole pitch your whole bullpen in the hopes that you come back. If the A’s don’t win today, the pen’s wasted tomorrow. Honestly, I’ve never one to get really mad at managers but goddamn is Geren trying. No Buck? Sac bunt in the first? Infield in? Sac bunt with Raj (because no Buck)? Giese over Gallagher (and Outman) in the pen? Bailey now? That’s 6 decisions THIS game!!!

I say stretch out Bailey
and put him in the starting rotation. He has nasty stuff.
His stuff won't be as nasty in the rotation.
I know his curve is good, but I don’t know if he has any other secondary pitches.
curve and cutter - both exceptional

Or a starter. You have to give serious consideration
to putting a guy with that arsenal in the rotation. He said his mentality was wrong before and he was nibbling. You wonder what he could do if he didn’t nibble and threw that stuff for 6 IP.

Probably only 10 days - one 3-4 inning stint and one 5 inning stint?
He could probably make the next #5 spot’s start on May 2nd if the A’s wanted him to.

We have hitters good enough to hit in fifth to ninth spots
Plus four extra lower order spots custom-created for the A’s.
Our lineup is fine for 1 - 9
as long as it’s AAA or lower.

That’s why Bailey probably didn’t work as a starter. Had to save his stuff to make it last.

He said he nibbled too much as a starter – that doesn’t mean he’d nibble too much now. Maybe his experience and success in the bullpen would allow him to excel as a starter.

With Devine out for the year, I say keep in the pen. Then maybe re visit the idea in the offseason.

Well, let me ask you this -
IF (and it’s no guarantee) Bailey, if he started, could pitch as well as, say, Braden, would you prefer him to replace Eveland/Outman in the rotation or stay in the pen?

what a pathetic final at-bat
what happened to that whole Moneyball, not giving away outs, thing?
They give away outs by looking at strike 3 every game
AT least they tried to hit the ball on quite a few occasions

for all this, we're 5-7? 5-8 now?
the offence is concerning, because it’s anemic. it just looks bad.
that and the mental errors.
i watch an SC team that throws the ball away A LOT – 6 errors 5 times this year so far. i understand it’s college, but that’s kind of a silver lining thing. it really could be worse. but sometimes i think that SC’s offence could do just as good against a major league team… all it takes is one or two bounces.
but all it takes IS one or two bounces.
"The hard... is what makes it great."
I know this sounds crazy but I'm not worried about the offense long-term
I’m just concerned with the idiotic mistakes we make as a team by not knowing the situation. It’s correctable. Very correctable but Geren really hasn’t shown the ability to run out a lineup card worth spit and our players have no clue on the bases. That is what frustrates me. We’ll hit… I guarantee it! We just can’t give away outs so often.
