Balta1701 Posted May 14, 2011 Share Posted May 14, 2011 Rios could not possibly have swung the bat farther away from that pitch. He'd have gotten closer to it if it was a pitchout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'd have gotten closer to it if it was a pitchout. I know the batting average against is similar, but it really seems like today is an odd game to stack the lineup with righties. That tight little slider by Ross seems tough on righties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fathom Posted May 14, 2011 Share Posted May 14, 2011 Gavin's determined to throw 80% of his pitches tonight above the belt. He doesn't look comfortable at all on the mound. I really hope we start separating him and Humber in the rotation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The A's haven't exactly hit him hard or looked like they're exceptionally on the ball, Gavin's just been inconsistent in the zone. Unless Humber took Floyd out to celebrate, that is a solution for the wrong problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm saying general rule of thumb in baseball is you try to split up your rotation so you don't have similar pitchers going on consecutive days. You know this, I don't know why you're being difficult about it. I never said it has anything to do with Gavin's stuff sucking today. He either isn't 100% healthy or just not focused.
