A Day Of Disaster For The Oakland A's: Lead Blown, Duchscherer Hurt
by Nico on Apr 29, 2010 6:56 PM PDT
Email
PrintIt started well. Midway through the 3rd inning, the A's led 3-0 and Justin Duchscherer was painting. Then in the 3rd, Duchscherer gave up back-to-back HRs and it was 3-2. Then in the 4th, Duchscherer limped off the mound after throwing a pitch, favoring his hip and wincing.
Steve Sayles and Bob Geren came out as Duke, still limping and wincing, said he was fine, and he was not even made to prove it with a single warmup pitch. Duchscherer threw several more pitches in the game, visibly limping and wincing after each one as the manager sniffed his finger and the trainer contemplated the team's other 94 injuries. This was truly astounding. Predictably, Duchscherer exited soon after and fittingly for this trainwreck of a day, Jerry Blevins immediately served up a 3-run HR to John Buck -- who, by the way, homered three times in the game.
The A's expected to have all of the following players available right now, yet they do not have any of them available:
Brett Anderson
Travis Buck
Coco Crisp
Joey Devine
Justin Duchscherer
Mark Ellis
Kurt Suzuki
Michael Wuertz
Even in a weak division, a team just can't compete without 2/5 of its rotation, 2 of its 3 best relievers, its starting catcher and 2Bman, each considered among the elite defensively in the league, plus 2 solid defensive OFers -- though on the bright side, I do think Oakland will be nicely represented in the "DL gold glove" awards.
Whether you consider it more frustrating or depressing, more the result of bad luck or bad practice, the A's injury situation has reached the point where it has literally crippled Oakland's chances of competing. It is, unfortunately, that simple, just as the question of how to reverse the trend is confounding.
The A's are tied for 1st place tonight, and I couldn't feel less ok right now -- and judging from how deflated the team looked from the time Duchscherer left the mound right to the end when 3 A's whiffed in the 9th to end the game, I don't think I'm the only one losing hope that the A's will actually get to field their team this year. Which is all I ever really wanted.

Small budget.
Injury-prone players are affordable. You takes your chances.
A free society is one where it is safe to be unpopular.
As we saw in the other thread, its not that
we have massive injuries for years at all levels of the organization.
Well, the small budget plus the curse.
I just kinda’ assumed that the curse went without saying.
A free society is one where it is safe to be unpopular.
Other small market teams do not nearly have as many injury issues as us.

Many of the other small market teams aren't taking chances and trying to win, either.
Pitching and defense wins pennants, but offense sells tickets.
it's more than that
Like this team pissed off the training room gods. Nothing can really explain Ellis, BA, Suzuki, and Barton getting inured. The fact that Barton is even playing right now is but a small miracle

The handling of Ellis and Barton are suspect
But how they got injured is really spontaneous.

The handling of injuries is the A's downfall.

Sure, but the question is
Is there something the A’s are doing to cause more injuries initially, or something that normally prevents injuries that they are not doing?

I can't say for sure, of course.
But it would seem to me that if you are a lower-budget team and you have injury-prone players because they are more affordable, then your strength and conditioning and training program is teh shit. You make your team take extra care in order to prevent AS many injuries as possible. And then when they do get injured, and sit for 6 days, you don’t have them play 1 game to test them out, and THEN DL them. And then you go poke your own eyes out.
The funny thing about baseball is that people will believe what they want to believe. -Joe Posnanski 8/29/09
right, is there something they can do on the prevention side
injuries are going to happen when someone gets spiked, runs into a wall, tries to break up a DP, whatever.
the injuries that make me scratch my head are the ones like Buck in BP straining an oblique. most of these guys are young. why are they getting these kind of stupid injuries.
unicorn pulls hamstrings every year i think. why? and then why have him go out and try to play on it and make it worse so he ends up on the DL?
That would explain part of it,
but why is it affecting players we drafted?
The selfish, they're all standing in line, faithing and hoping to buy themselves time.

Hey!
Yeah, I saw them play Peoria last week. Probably going on Saturday too.
The A’s offseason is my AN offseason, but I’ve been around lately, mostly in the game threads.

I went to see them play Beloit a couple weeks ago.
Want to go see them play Kane County on Monday, and I’m supposed to have it off, but might have to work. :-(

I figured I'd take some pics at the K.C. game on Saturday
and put up a post. So if you can’t be there on Monday, that would be the next best thing. : )

i cant believe it..
in less than a week 2 of our best pitchers are hurt,
Kurt being “day-to-day” for like a week, i bet he goes on the DL tomorrow
things are starting to roll downhill, i hate to say it
This season has gone from hero to zero in my eyes
I just can’t understand how exactly we get injured SO often. Bad luck, I’m sure, but shit.
That is all.

Last place by May 15 and the Rivercats will be restocking the A's
September comes a little early as the A’s season will end with a thud. No offense,pitching staff in ruins. Sheets will be peddled. Who assumes responsibility for the large number of injuries to the pitching staff. Trainers-condioning coach-pitching coach. Why do the Giants go injury free?

What a bummer of a game.
I’m pretty unimpressed with the way Duke’s injury was handled. Considering his history and the state of the game at that moment, I think you pull him there. The A’s are hard to watch sometimes these days, and on those occasions I wish the Expos were still around.
On the other hand, it’s fun to watch Sweeney and Barton start to compile doubles in bunches, and we might get to see Tyson Ross in the starting rotation sooner than anyone had expected.
“Green Collar Baseball”
I say it is time to cut ties with all those that get hurt
Buck,
Ellis,
Duke,
Chavez,
Duke will not pitch again for the A’s, and as far as that injury looks, and none of the other players listed above have contributed to a win for the A’s in over 2 years.
I think you can also send down or DFA Breslow, Davis and Blevis
What, like
feed them to Bud Selig as a sacrifice to ensure future wins, fertile fields?

So there is a limit on how much I can drown my sorrows. I am going to Disneyland tomorrow, though. Will that help the A’s?

I went to Disneyland once
When I was too old for it. The rides suck. I’m not a fan of princesses. Basically, I just hung out at the ice cream stand, which happened to be attended by a hot chick my age. Oh, and they did have a pretty good Chinese acrobat show. Otherwise, snore.

Back from the game in Stockton
I left in the 7th because it was windy as hell, I was freezing and I guess it was a good thing I got out when I did. Bakersfield wound up scoring 8 runs just after that and won 12-5.
The good news: Shawn Haviland looked very good, striking out 9 in 5.1 innings to go with 2 hits and 2 walks, the only run he allowed coming on a homer.
The bad news: Haviland had to bat. Outfielder David Thomas injured his left shoulder (apparently he’s hurt it before) on a catch in the top of the second on what I believe was an outfield collision – my view was blocked at that moment. When he came back into the dugout they quickly determined he couldn’t go on.
The trickle-down effect of injuries in Oakland has been felt throughout the organization. Tyler Ladendorf is filling in in Sacramento again and Stockton literally had no bench so Haviland had to hit, DH Petey Paramore had to go to first base, and 1B Kala Ka’aihue had to go to the outfield.
Ouch.

Few are awake and I'm pissed off and I feel like ranting, so here it is...
I learned yesterday evening that I do not love playing poker. In fact, I hate playing poker.
See, I won the tournament at my home game. If I felt good and happy and triumphant about it, that would have been one thing. The thing is, finally winning one after a couple months of drought didn’t make me feel good. It made me feel just as angry and pissed off as all the times I had gotten eliminated. In fact, it brought back all the pain from all the times over the last couple of months that I had been eliminated and made me think, “Goddammit! If so and so hadn’t have called that hand two weeks ago, or if my aces hadn’t have been cracked last week, I could have won three tournaments in a row!”
I realize now that I’ve been feeling about my poker game like Yankee fans feel about their team: A victory is expected every day and a championship is expected every year, and if they get it, they’re at their baseline normal and feel meh, and if they don’t , they’re pissy as all get-up.
That’s my poker game… if I win, it doesn’t feel good at all because I expect to win. If I lose, it hurts so bad that I feel like breaking things. It’s not even fun anymore for me, because my standards are so high for myself and my game, yet, I don’t feel like I could drop my standards either.
I’m thinking about quitting playing poker altoghether. Yet, I have a vibrant little social scene set up around my Thursday night games, and I don’t want that to die… I just don’t want to play. Yet, if I try to take a week off, but still have people over to play without me playing, someone always buys me in and insists I play, even though I don’t want to.
I’m coming to the realization that I didn’t love the game; I just loved winning. Now, I don’t even love winning anymore.

well babe
it’s simple, if the buy-in ain’t big and it’s not enjoyable, buy yourself in or let others do it, play very sloppy and very loose and lose all your chips quickly, which you know how to do now (if you’re good enough to win, then you’re good enough to lose), lose quickly and enjoy socializing the rest of the evening. In fact, take it upon yourself, if you’ve not done so, to organize some sort of events for the eliminated,
Internally and externally embrace the social aspects of the evening while completely divorcing yourself from the results-oriented aspects of the evening. And you may in fact find your passion to play returns after a period. If it does, you still have your game there. If not, you still have the party there. One cannot win or lose if one doesn’t play, and playing is a state of mind, not an act.

Good advice, although my friends are gambling fiends.
When a few people are eliminated from the tourney, a cash game starts up, or they play acey-deucey, which I think is just an evil evil monster of a game.
I’ve tried to get people into playing Scrabble or other games afterwards, but they’ll have none of it.
Another thing is that my poker night used to be five or six people. Now sometimes it’s upwards of twenty. What used to be a two-hour single-table tourney is now between 3.5 to 5 hours of seesaw battling.

Bob Pollard aka Guided By Voices
my favorite band of all time before I got seriously into Captain Beefheart…
I Am A Scientist was their biggest hit, although it wasn’t really a hit.
The beautiful thing is that they were a garage band of guys in their late 30’s and they pooled their money together to put out one last record that they thought would be forgotten… except one of their buddies, against Uncle Bob’s wishes, sent some copies of the record out to record companies. Of course, the record companies orgasmed over the music, GBV got signed, and Uncle Bob quit his day job as a 4th grade teacher and has been one of rock’s most prolific songwriters ever since.
He’s literally in at least twenty different “bands” (although he rarely tours now) and puts out between five to seven LP’s a year under various names like “Psycho And The Birds” “Airport 5” “The Takeovers,” “Go Back Snowball” and many more.
His main band now is called “Circus Devils” and boy are they scary. They make their own music videos out of found footage, and the songs are easier to listen to than describe. “War Horsies” is a strange track. So is “Get Me Extra”
