Because the save stat is flawed.

Treinen's the right move because he's the A's best pitcher, and one more run probably means it's over.
Wade

Not Twitter. No one is yelling
Dystopian Future

It's probably over anyway.
Sheryl Ring

True, but it ain
't over yet

Dan, next year can you have a FG writers Royal Rumble?

At least they're not saving Treinen for Game 2 like Baker did with Chapman some years ago...

internet.. slow... can't tell if these are images or demon gifs they magically awaken 20 seconds after appearing
Garrett

I think it’s over now. Robertson, Britton, Chapman seems pretty lockdown. Have the A’s even made hard contact?

Announcers said treinen is absolutely sick. Why throw an ill guy??

treinen 2018: 7 ER, 12 R total. ERA is dumb

Dear future people: I promise the Sean Doolittle-Blake Trienen trade made sense at the time.

time for real demon gifs for Hugh

Dan, it’s not fair to chat as an admin and a user

I don't think Britton will be sitting in the bullpen not pitching in this WC game.

Save stat IS flawed, but is the blown save stat flawed
Sheryl Ring
10:22
Yes. Yes, it is.
AvatarDan Szymborski
10:23
Somehow the blown save is even worse than the regular save
Sheryl Ring
10:23
The strike zone has actually been good this game
Steve O
10:23
That doesn't seem like the same pitch Sevy threw.
AvatarDan Szymborski
10:23
becuase non-closers can get blown saves without a realistic chance at getting an actual save
Go Go US Steel!
10:23
Wow the announcers have just gone into full A's Homer mode.
Garrett
10:23
You can blow a save in the 7th inning. But you can’t get a save in the 7th inning
Dystopian Future
10:23
Well yeah it made sense because Treinen imploded in WAS and Doo's actually been good. But Treinen has been really good since he got to OAK, as everyone knew he would be.

Dan (or Sheryl) - What do you think is the best way to account for a "reliever ERA"? I understand the concept of inherited runners going to the guy that let them on in the first place...but shouldn't they, in some way, count against the guy that let them score?
Sheryl Ring
10:24
I just like LI and WPA for relievers.
AvatarDan Szymborski
10:24
Yeah, those are descriptive
and if I want something qualitative, peripheral stats are better or even OOPS
ERA especially for relievers is an accounting fiction

All you people that voted for Blake Treinen over Rocky Road feel pretty stupid now, i bet.
Shauger

I prefer to use old school ways to evaluate relief pitchers...who do you fear the most

Giancarlo just stole a base.....>
Steve O

Infield in against Luke Voit (???) seems like a bad idea.
Matt
10:24
Do I misunderstand LI, or isn't that just descriptive of *when* the manager puts them in, and not necessarily how well they performed?
