    Nobody is arguing Cordero needs to keep playing at the big level. Demote him not DFA him. Dalbec needs to be platooned, at best and demoted at worst. DFA'ing Dalbec would be insane.

    The A's have 7 guys with over 90 PAs, and nobody over .870. .870 Matt Olden .809 R Laureano .779 Jed Lowrie (Yes, Jed is their third best hitter.) .777 Mark Canha .713 Matt Chapman .699 Sean Murphy .414 Elvis Andrus Mitch Moreland has 90 PAs and a .654 OPS. Piscotty is next at 84 and .654. Their pitching relies heavily on 3 starters: 3.07 Sean Manaea 3.29 Cole Irvin 3.70 Chris Bassit Their other two have sucked: 5.50 Frank Montas (Sound familiar?) 5.79 Jesus Luzardo (1.606 WHIP) Their pen? IP ERA Pitcher 21 0.87 Y Petit 19 3.86 L Trevino 15 2.40 J Diekman (L) 14 3.21 D Guerra 12 4.38 JB Wendelken (on IL) 12 7.30 S Romo Nothing really jumps out at you as being all that impressive, except the 3 top starters and the 21-15 record, but that's what the A's do.

    The A's remind me a lot of the Rays. It looks like smoke and mirrors, but after years of doing this, you gotta respect what they do. Now, that being said, let's beat the bastids over the head!

    I gave it my best, Max. I'm hoping someone can top your 9 game streak. Maybe that starts, tomorrow.

    There's also a world of difference between demotion and giving a kid another chance and cutting them loose. I'm all for demoting Cordero. I have been for days. I'm all for lessening Dalbec's playing time -Chavis platoon? If we had someone to call-up, I might demote Dalbec, too. There's no way I totally give up on anyone over 5 weeks of slumping. If I did, I'd have given up on one of my all time favorite players, JBJ, several times over his career. Jackie started his career at .538 over his first 530 PAS! NOT 100! 530! Not only that, JBJ started the next season at .426 over his first 71 PAs, so we're talking over 600 PAs of near .500 hitting. He then hit 1.441 over the next 90 PAs for one of the hottest streaks a Sox player has ever had. I'm not saying Franchy or Dalbec are the next JBJ, but you don't just cut players loose after a 100 PA stretch of bad hitting.

    I can see Atlanta turning the tides on the Jays, but this A's series will not be easy. I'm pulling for the Rays, too.
  7. moonslav59
    The team is 5-1 in ERod starts (3.82 ERA). The team is 5-2 in Eovaldi's starts (4.62 ERA).
  8. moonslav59
    Richards last 6 starts: 33.2 IP 30 Hits 13 BB 32 K 12 ER (3.21 ERA) The team went 3-3 in those 6 starts.
  9. moonslav59
    Pivetta last 5 starts: 25.2 IP 15 Hits 15 BB 24 Ks 9 ER (3.16 ERA) The team is 4-1 in his last 5 starts.
  10. moonslav59
    Perez in his last 3 starts: 16.1 IP 15 Hits 3 BB 17 K 4 ER (2.20 ERA) The team lost all 3 starts.
  11. moonslav59
    You stopped saying Renfroe and Taylor suck. What happened? Didn't you also say we should demote Devers when he started slowly?
  12. moonslav59
    It's hard to sweep 4 vs anyone. We've been swept once (first series vs BAL). We have 3 sweeps (v TB and @ BAL- both 3 game series & 2 @ NYM.) We have won 3 of 4 twice (@MN & @BAL) and split 2 4 game series (CWS & SEA). We won 2 of 3 vs DET. We split a 2 game series with TOR. We've lost just two series, all year (the second was 3 of 4 @TEX).
  13. moonslav59
    We host the A's coming up, while the Yanks travel to Tampa and the Jays to Atlanta. This week could be telling.
  14. moonslav59
    Perez has been a bigger surprise than Pivetta, in my eyes. Without these two, we'd be bummin' out and likely at each other's throats.
  15. moonslav59
    I'm not arguing we should have taken him out. My point is about it "not making sense." His history shows he falters after 5 IP. There is some sense in the idea of taking him out. Had we done so his previous two games, we might have 2 more wins.
  16. moonslav59
    Do you know what the word "cut" means? You should. We've told you over an over, yet you keep saying it. Cut = DFA
  17. moonslav59
    That was quick. s***** loss.
  18. moonslav59
    With Perez, it's not the 3rd time through: it's the 6th inning. (Same with Pivetta, except Pivetta sucks third time through.) ERA 0.00 5th inning 20.25 6th innings OPS Against .687 first time .858 second time .451 third time Pivetta 3.00 ERA in 5th 15.00 in 6th .539 first PA .440 second 1.125 third
  19. moonslav59
    Time for a big rally. Start by getting some men on base.
  20. moonslav59
    Should Cora have left Perez in his last game into the 6th inning? He was "cruising" with 5 IP, 3 H and 1 ER. Sound familiar? In the 6th he let up 3 singles and we went from tied 1-1 to down 3-1. How about his start before the last one? 5 IP 4H and 0 ER (cruising even better than tonight), then comes the 6th: Reach on Error and HR, and we're down 3-1, instead of tied 1-1. His 6th inning ERA is 20.25. I'm okay with being against it, but "makes no sense?" Had they left him in and lost the lead, we'd be posting these numbers and saying it makes no sense leaving him in.
  21. moonslav59
    You gotta say that b4 the HR.
  22. moonslav59
    Ole Travis Lakins...
  23. moonslav59
    Perez is quietly pitching like a #2 or #3. Last 14 Days: 2.38 Perez (2 GS) 1.147 WHIP 2.81 Pivetta (3) 1.125 2.84 Richards (3) 1.105 4.50 ERod (2) 1.900 6.10 Eovaldi (2) 1.355 Last 21 days: 3.00 in 3 starts. Last 28 days: 4.18 in 5 starts by Perez.
  24. moonslav59
    I'd like to see us sign ERod and someone as good or better, too. Replacing ERod with an ace is barely an improvement. We hardly ever lose with ERod on the mound.
  25. moonslav59
    Eovaldi's already done the "something." I'm hoping for a rebound, now.
