mingusamongus 10 Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 anyone crazy enough to start him against Texas? no? just me? okay He handled Texas well enough his last time up against them, though that was at home. I'm desperate enough for counting stats in my 1st round playoff match that I will partake in the craziness. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Kempimus Prime 137 Posted September 15, 2013 Share Posted September 15, 2013 is he a must-start at home vs the angels? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kempimus Prime 137 Posted September 15, 2013 Share Posted September 15, 2013 actually.. ill answer my own question.. he's not, he's been good but i thought he was better. plus awful career numbers vs the angels! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MonsterMan 42 Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 Great opportunity for Dan to step on the accelerator and leave Texas in the rear view mirror. Beating an LAA team tonight at home should be his main objective. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AroundTheHorn 402 Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 (edited) Umm, I believe Straily pitches Thursday vs the Twins, a must start in my opinion. Edited September 17, 2013 by AroundTheHorn Quote Link to post Share on other sites

AroundTheHorn 402 Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 (edited) This dude can't catch a fking break because his douchebag teamates keep making errors. Edited September 20, 2013 by AroundTheHorn Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dannyusf 481 Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 This dude can't catch a fking break because his douchebag teamates keep making errors. At east 0 ER, got out of bases loaded too with a sick slider. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rabbit Maranville 1,366 Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 First time Straily owner. He's at 88 pitches after 5. How long does Melvin usually let him last? Chances he makes it through the 6th? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dannyusf 481 Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 lets take a closer look at Straily's last 10 starts: 7/20: @LAA..7ip, 8h, 2r, 2er, 0bb, 4k 97 pitches 7/25: LAA..4.1ip, 7h, 5r, 5er, 2bb, 5k 84 pitches... would you leave him in? didn't think so 7/30 Tor 4.2ip, 6h, 5r, 2er, 2bb, 2k 96 pitches, again, he was done 8/6 @Cinn 4ip, 6h, 2r, 2er, 1bb, 3k, 75 pitches this is the only game I agree he was pulled a tad early 8/12 @Tor 7.1ip, 6h, 1r, 1er, 3bb, 5k, 94 pitches 8/17 Cle 5.2ip, 6h, 3r,3er, 4bb, 7k 103 pitches 8/23 @Balt 3.1ip, 4h, 6r, 6er, 4bb, 2k 79 pitches. zero command, zero control, got lit up 8/28 @ Det 6ip, 8h, 1r, 1er, 2bb, 4k, 103 pitches, went as deep as he could 9/2 Tex 5ip, 3h, 2r, 2er, 3bb, 4k 91 pitches todays game 7ip, 2h, 0r, 1bb, 7k 103 pitches point is, Melvin is managing this kid, as well as his team, Straily is still only 24, why burn him out when his stuff isn't there? At times, Melvin actually has left him in a bit too long when he just didn't have it. I watch almost every A's game, whether it be on TV or in person, I do not box-score watch then try to evaluate like is done way too much here, not just for Straily, but for many players. I hope Straily can remain healthy and continues to mature, overuse when it's not needed is counter productive, for any pitcher. I always read where posters are screaming for the pitcher to be removed time and time again when they're ineffective, but not for superman Straily, (sarcasm button pushes) But this Straily thread has been one of the most volitile threads on this forum all season, when he does great, silence, when he doesn't, all the haters show up..Take the good with the bad, micro manage your team and be thankful for the good starts, vent after the bad, but don't wish punishment for the whole team when you don't agree with a managers decisions. Armchair managing is the easiest job in the world, you're never wrong Peace out First time Straily owner. He's at 88 pitches after 5. How long does Melvin usually let him last? Chances he makes it through the 6th? From the previous page, might give you an idea. Seems like around 100 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
