Considering we usually use him in close games
that’s a good problem to have.
"He almost has to start. Do you believe in miracles?"
depends how much he pitches in each game
"He almost has to start. Do you believe in miracles?"
if he throws that much even a few pitches each day could cause trouble....
what’s this….13th appearance in May?
you can't forget the effort it takes to warm up to get in
even if you only end up throwing 1 pitch during the game, right?
"Let us go forth awhile, and get better air in our lungs. Let us leave our closed rooms... The game of ball is glorious." - Walt Whitman
Downs pitched 81 last year
so far, so good for this season
"Let us go forth awhile, and get better air in our lungs. Let us leave our closed rooms... The game of ball is glorious." - Walt Whitman
though I agree it's certainly not ideal
"Let us go forth awhile, and get better air in our lungs. Let us leave our closed rooms... The game of ball is glorious." - Walt Whitman
of course things didn't work out quite as well
vis-a-vis Janssen
"Let us go forth awhile, and get better air in our lungs. Let us leave our closed rooms... The game of ball is glorious." - Walt Whitman
hopefully once Wolfe and/or Accardo and/or League are back
Downs won’t be needed as much in the 8th inning and can resume some LOOGY responsibilities to take some pressure off Carlson
"Let us go forth awhile, and get better air in our lungs. Let us leave our closed rooms... The game of ball is glorious." - Walt Whitman
now for some hits!
"Let us go forth awhile, and get better air in our lungs. Let us leave our closed rooms... The game of ball is glorious." - Walt Whitman
and then some hits after them
so that we don’t strand so many
"He almost has to start. Do you believe in miracles?"
good start
"Let us go forth awhile, and get better air in our lungs. Let us leave our closed rooms... The game of ball is glorious." - Walt Whitman
Lexi draws the walk,
cmon Rolen!
"Let us go forth awhile, and get better air in our lungs. Let us leave our closed rooms... The game of ball is glorious." - Walt Whitman
Good continuation
"He almost has to start. Do you believe in miracles?"
I assume Rolen will not be asked to bunt
in RISP time
"He almost has to start. Do you believe in miracles?"
yeah!
bases drunk for Matty!
"Let us go forth awhile, and get better air in our lungs. Let us leave our closed rooms... The game of ball is glorious." - Walt Whitman
1 for 6, no runs
Our typical pattern
"He almost has to start. Do you believe in miracles?"
un
f’ing believable
"Let us go forth awhile, and get better air in our lungs. Let us leave our closed rooms... The game of ball is glorious." - Walt Whitman
1 for 8
on the Stew double play
"He almost has to start. Do you believe in miracles?"
And Frank hit 2 homers
after not hitting any since joining the A’s.
"He almost has to start. Do you believe in miracles?"
yeah he seems to be coming around.....stew on the other hand...I think we could give him 600 ABs and he wouldn't come around
Well it's still just one game
"He almost has to start. Do you believe in miracles?"
More like one pitch
"He almost has to start. Do you believe in miracles?"
been a whole season of DPs for stew....I don't see the up side with him.....maybe he's a really nice guy
Stew hasn't been to good, it's true
but he’s been better recently, and it’s not like we have a ton of great options
"Let us go forth awhile, and get better air in our lungs. Let us leave our closed rooms... The game of ball is glorious." - Walt Whitman
Downs works a clean inning
"He almost has to start. Do you believe in miracles?"

"He almost has to start. Do you believe in miracles?"
Zaun does his job and gets on
"Let us go forth awhile, and get better air in our lungs. Let us leave our closed rooms... The game of ball is glorious." - Walt Whitman
Zaun draws the walk
"He almost has to start. Do you believe in miracles?"
Angels announcers remembering Scutaro's walkoff
against Rivera last year, thinking it was this year.
"He almost has to start. Do you believe in miracles?"
nice Scooter
up to Bluegrass now
"Let us go forth awhile, and get better air in our lungs. Let us leave our closed rooms... The game of ball is glorious." - Walt Whitman
Scoot walks!
"He almost has to start. Do you believe in miracles?"
Scoot's 2 for 2 with 2 walks
If he could actually do that in the leadoff slot, wouldn’t that be great?
"He almost has to start. Do you believe in miracles?"
he's been a bit of an on-base machine this season
"Let us go forth awhile, and get better air in our lungs. Let us leave our closed rooms... The game of ball is glorious." - Walt Whitman
But they pitch to you differently at the bottom of the order
"He almost has to start. Do you believe in miracles?"
oh yeah
cmon Hill, make him come over the plate
"Let us go forth awhile, and get better air in our lungs. Let us leave our closed rooms... The game of ball is glorious." - Walt Whitman
And then have it drop in somewhere
"He almost has to start. Do you believe in miracles?"
ugh not what I had in mind
up to Lexi now
"Let us go forth awhile, and get better air in our lungs. Let us leave our closed rooms... The game of ball is glorious." - Walt Whitman
Not a good use of the 1-0 count
"He almost has to start. Do you believe in miracles?"
Oh, Rios.
"He almost has to start. Do you believe in miracles?"
Rios goes down
and the Jays lose a tough one
"Let us go forth awhile, and get better air in our lungs. Let us leave our closed rooms... The game of ball is glorious." - Walt Whitman
being under .500 sucks
"Let us go forth awhile, and get better air in our lungs. Let us leave our closed rooms... The game of ball is glorious." - Walt Whitman
And 1 for 10 with RISP will do that to you
"He almost has to start. Do you believe in miracles?"
Jays of the Day belong to Scooter and Wilkerson
Well, over the next two games we have Marcum v. Garland and A.J. v. Saunders
"Let us go forth awhile, and get better air in our lungs. Let us leave our closed rooms... The game of ball is glorious." - Walt Whitman
