    • 2 walks and a hard hit in 5 batters is good?  If Baker gets out of it, they would not start the next inning with Akin facing the lefty masher Garver. Akin would probably sit down at that point and they would go to Webb or Tate. 
    • FIPS does not work well for pitchers that pitch to contact. It's kind of weird.   Managers want starters to go deep in games.  Eating innings is encouraged. In order for a pitcher to do that he needs to pitch to contact to lower his number of pitches per inning.  But balls in play are not counted in FIP. So when French talks in favor of FIP is he saying that he wants his pitchers to go for strike outs and not pitch to contact?  Make up your mind coach.   Either you want pitchers to go deep in games or strike out more batters. 
    • The last column is the number of runners inherited. Those are not the number of runners the RP allowed to score.    Akin has inherited 24 runners, 8 have scored. Coming into yesterday he was at 21/5.  
    • SWEEP…because why the hell not? Meanwhile, take some long looks at the guys on the Shelf at Oakland-Mart. Id love to have Rooker( even though we don’t really need him)as well as some of their pitching, and we match up with Oakland better than any other team, because we have a plethora of solid prospects who are a year or two away and wouldn’t be wasted before Oakland’s next window.  
    • Lefty Depth: Coulombe, Perez, Akin, Vespi, Krook, Gonzalez, McGough All of those guys miss more bats than McGough. Krook just got called up so he's clearly ahead in the depth chart. And this is off-topic but Akin is good if you look at his overall numbers this year. People are too hard on him because he looks like a goofball.
    • People expected him to be the savior when he arrived.  It was the first failure he ever experienced in his career.  Pretty incredible for his first ever  slump/failure to come at the MLB level at age 20.  Most folks face adversity well before then. 
    • I’d like to see Holliday back after ASB. Would like to see him cut down K’s and mini tear before that.
