obviously he should get the 9th – only the folks in the dugout know how he might feel. I’d just rather go conservative on pushing his arm and am happy if Ziggy gets the ball in the 9th.

Not happy with this
I would rather be more careful with Bailey.
he's the closer
"I’m actually a disgrace to myself right now." - Sean Gallagher (quoting me after a night out on the town)
or larger leads
But, apparently that just means Bailey comes in and throws 30 pitches
"I’m Joey Devine, I’m what Joba Chamberlain would be if he was good and nobody had ever heard of him."
its not so much that
It’s that the kid is absolutely on fire these days.
No doubt he was begging to go.
I'll have a sandwich and a draft(sic). - Bill King (RIP)
he can't keep throwing as many innings as he has
but there’s no one I would rather see out there right now
You guys realize he was a starter until a year ago right?
I'll have a sandwich and a draft(sic). - Bill King (RIP)
Your point being what?
Oh, right, he hasn’t been a starter for an entire year and as such isn’t really accustomed to high pitch counts or workloads anymore?
Yeah, I agree.
"I’m Joey Devine, I’m what Joba Chamberlain would be if he was good and nobody had ever heard of him."
So?
Relief pitching is different than starting pitching.

Kuip got that part right,
if you’re the closer, you pitch a lot. No one ever worried about Eck’s workload – just sayin.
I needed a team so I wouldn’t turn into one of the eighty million pink hat-wearing Bud Light-drinking mulleted idiots at Fenway.
Eck
was a veteran pitcher who was only used for one inning at a time. Bailey is a rookie who should be treated differently.
And he shouldn’t be tossed into blowouts, as he was on Friday.
That's what we have Santiago, Russ and Edgar for
a ground rule double followed by three unproductive outs, sounds like my sex life - dayzd toe
Bailey pitched Saturday, after Ziggy gave up a 3-run bomb

Those 26 pitches in Friday's blowout
continue to aggravate me.
yup. It made NO sense.

stupid stupid victory
He used Bailey against the heart of the Oriole order. The A’s won. They’ve won twice more with Bailey closing. Now he can rest a couple of days. Get over it— Geren’s getting better like the team is.
It's Bailey

Oh, I don't either.
he’d probably be cool to kick back with and have a beer. I’m just sayin he doesn’t look like he enjoys being on camera, and you could almost see him searching his brain for the right cliche to give when he was talking.
