Open Thread: Game 57 - A's at Giants (cont)
by baseballgirl on Jun 12, 2009 8:27 PM PDT
559 comments
The A's have had chances all night to score, but they have been denied all over the place. Tim Lincecum has singled in the first run for the Giants, and the first run that Mazzaro has given up. He got into more trouble with a two-run single, and it's 3-0 Giants; going to the sixth. The A's have no one to blame but themselves for not at least getting on the scoreboard.

This is supposed to represent the inevitable 3 runs the A's will score this inning, by the way.

Hypothesis:
The marginal benefit of using a pinch hitter there is greater than the marginal benefit of Mazzaro pitching another inning.

I think it's because the next time the A's would want a pinch hitter,
it will be the 9th, and that’s Brian Wilson. So Barton would be the pinch hitter there, Nomar here. Plus, Nomar can’t play in the field so he’s a good guy to send up when the pinch hitter will leave the game.

100% agree
here’s a good example…
rajai gets hit by a pitch leading off. hannahan up next, followed by mazzaro.
hannahan should’ve taken a couple of pitches, so rajai can steal second cuz lincecum doesn’t hold runners well. instead, hanny flies out and we sac bunt rajai to second.
dumb.

To me, what was dumber was Cabrera bunting for a hit
with a runner at second and two out. I mean, nice bunt and all but…? I don’t really agree about the importance of Rajai stealing just because if he gets to second you have Hannahan to drive him in and then Mazzaro. You feel that gives you a great chance to score?

There's also a chance Rajai is caught stealing or picked off
You may think stealing off Lincecum is automatic, but Rajai is extremely talented at failing in things he does well.

Yeah, but if you don't want to count on hits with RISP
then Rajai has to steal second AND third, AND Hannahan has to hit a sac fly.

Normally, I'd support sending the runner there as it took perfect defense
But not with Holliday/Giambi coming up. If it had been Davis/Hannahan or Hannahan/Mazzaro coming up, I’d say it was the right call. As is, you have to be sure in order to send him and so I think it was a poor decision.
