Comments on: Beane on the pitching staff (and Chavez update) http://baybridgebaseball.com/2009/03/beane-on-the-pitching-staff/ An A's-Giants blog Thu, 09 Feb 2012 01:49:34 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Jeremy http://baybridgebaseball.com/2009/03/beane-on-the-pitching-staff/comment-page-1/#comment-2487 Jeremy Wed, 25 Mar 2009 16:08:26 +0000 http://baybridgebaseball.com/2009/03/beane-on-the-pitching-staff/#comment-2487 Let's not read too much into spring statistics when players are practicing not really competing. Additionally, we're right in the "Dead Arm" period where pitchers tend to have a tough time locating their pitches while they build back into game shape. The A's staff will be fine considering the ballpark, the impressive defense they have behind them, and the talented and deep bullpen they have ready to take over when they tire. If the A's starting staff can give them 5-6 innings every night with no more than 3-4 runs this team wins the West. With the bullpen and offense they have, that's all they will need... a 4.50 ERA from the starters. Let’s not read too much into spring statistics when players are practicing not really competing.
