Open Thread: Game 128 - A's at Angels

PrintOakland Athletics at Los Angeles Angels, Aug 28, 2009 7:05 PM PDT
Sometimes, a small sample size can be a baseball statistician's best friend. So is the case with tonight's A's hurler, Brett Tomko, who in his two starts for the A's after being designated for assignment by the Yankees in July has done everything he could to make his old pinstriped employers look a little silly. Having allowed only a single run over 11 innings, with opponents batting .235, Tomko is sporting a Jeff Gray-like 0.82 ERA, to go along with 9 K's against 3 walks. Before you throw the Small Sample Size Book (TM) at me, just think about how awesome that would be if he could, you know, go a full season with 35 starts with 200 innings? We're talking Cy Young in a landslide!
But the downside of a small sample size is that typically, there is regression to the mean. Looking to help Tomko regress to the mean are the "not quite in Los Angeles" Angels, who have surprisingly lost four of their last five contests and six of their last eight, seeing their lead in the AL West over the Texas Rangers shrink to four games. Looking to turn that around is tonight's batting lineup, which features six players batting over .300 (and one batting .299) - so it's quite possible they are capable of doing so.
The A's lineup, featuring one batter over .280 (Raj), and a first baseman batting .204 (Barton), who replaced a first baseman who was batting .193 (Giambi), will be facing Angels rookie Trevor Bell, who in limited time (small sample size?) has a 9.49 ERA and a 1-1 record, including his last start against the Blue Jays, when he unceremoniously left the game after only an inning and two-thirds, giving up six runs. So who knows what will happen? Practically the only guarantee is that Craig Breslow will probably come in from the bullpen at some point.

Barton on the pregame show
talking about how last year taught him that the game isn’t as easy as he’d thought. he talked a bit about his confidence struggles, as well as the lesson that you have to work even harder at the major league level.
Everidge and Patterson are in their proper places now
The A’s have a much bigger need right now for a utility guy than for a backup first baseman, and Patterson has been better this year in AAA anyway.

But a salary dump was necessary. It’s great to now have extra $ to secure new contracts for Mitchell, Staubitz .
All in all, it’s not a huge loss. They’re replaceable (Huskins/prospects). The Vancouver kids will help in the minors. Also, White will provide a 2nd round pick when he’s not signed in 2yrs as he’ll likely opt to remain in college.

"And Julio Franco is batting right-handed!" -- Wayne Hagin, A's radio play-by-play, mid-80s
Right, and one of the limitations of running a lot
is that pitchouts become outs and lost baserunners, instead of 1-0 counts with a runner at 1st.
