if you want to make a case that getting on base and hitting homers don’t matter to an offense, make the case. Otherwise it’s pretty hard to argue that Cust has been a bad player overall for the A’s. He’s slumping badly this year, and even so he’s leading the team in HRs by a large margin and is 2nd in OPS to Kennedy.
although not quite so much the last two years, when Cust had good totals (26 and 33, IIRC).
The guy got on base a lot in 07 and 08, and hit for power. Those are the two most important thing for an offense. Yes, he’s a really bad fielder. So they should DH him, not DFA him.
His stats don’t accurately reflect his value. OPS doesn’t account for strikeouts. Before you pretend strikeouts are like other outs only better because of no double-play possibility, consider that Cust’s strikeout rate was so ridiculous that he has little chance of making a productive out when you need one.
Additionally, walks just aren’t as valuable with a team like the A’s, with a team where nobody is hitting for average. So Cust isn’t that valuable to the A’s walking in the middle of a bat line-up.
And he’s just a bad player this year. He’s impeding the development of much more valuable players, taking up space for little reason.
Finally, I’m just tired of watching bad baseball. And with the exception of his three-true-outcomes skill set, he can’t do anything else. Beyond stats, aren’t we entitled to just want to watch people play well?
the values of his homers. This guy has hit 16 of the team’s 71 HR this year — not counting Holliday, it’s 16 of the 60 still on the roster. That’s basically a quarter of the team’s HR production.
On bad baseball: I agree he shouldn’t be in the field. Unfortunately, Hairston is hurt so Geren is kind of stuck. 2 of those young players managed to screw up a fly ball to right-center last night. 2 others screwed one up the last time the team came through Boston.
The best argument I think is the one about letting younger players play.
My point about Davis and Sweeney is that Cust isn’t the only one who makes dumb mistakes. In fact, some of the young players who might play in his stead would make some of their own.
This is the worst HR-hitting team in the AL. Giving up 1/5 of their homers seems kinda unwise to me.
He’s a limited player, but if you keep him at DH the things he does well can really help a team win. I agree he’s been way below par this year, and if he can’t be better than this next year they need to figure out another option. But he’s been the A’s’ most productive hitter for the last 2 seasons. I’m sorry you don’t like watching strike outs. But replacing him with anyone on the A’s roster in 07 or 08 would have cost the team wins. And watching HRs is fun, too.
It’s just a joke that, as far as I can tell, their WPA does not include fielding. It’d be tough, but using an inaccurate system kinda makes things worst.
I don’t think Cust got a negative WPA assigned for that double.
a) the team isn’t that good to begin with
b) they have the least experienced starting rotation any team has had for a few decades
c) the closer is a rookie
d) one of the starting OFs is day-to-day
e) 28 days without a day off
They don’t have the depth of talent to weather that without some problems.
Yeah, but you also have the chance to throw the runner out.
By ignoring the runner, you’re already saying it doesn’t matter if he scores. So if you throw the ball into CF in attempting to throw him out and he scores, are you really that much worse off?
You don’t know what is going to happen. I’m saying that in situations where it will take more than one run to tie the game, you can make decisions that will help you get that last out or two.
One of those decisions is to place your fielders in a spot where they can more easily get a grounder, and that will give the runner a bigger leadoff. The other is to not throw the ball to the base when the runner stealing, because if you try to force it, you may overthrow the ball, allowing the run to score and not showing any outs for it.
but that doesn’t change anything. WE got beat, we beat ourselves. It’s over. Tomorrow is another day. For some reason, today i am having trouble typing the word “tomorrow”.

I agree, especially with the heavy bullpen use.
baseballgirl - July 30, 2009
Casilla is just like Cust
Only he pitches.
Earlier in the season, before the break at Tampa, I was certain he had thrown his last pitch for us.
What the fucking are we holding onto him for?
What are we waiting for him to discover?
Let him discover it some place else.

if you want to make a case that getting on base and hitting homers don’t matter to an offense, make the case. Otherwise it’s pretty hard to argue that Cust has been a bad player overall for the A’s. He’s slumping badly this year, and even so he’s leading the team in HRs by a large margin and is 2nd in OPS to Kennedy.
Nick - July 30, 2009
Doesn't that say more about the lack of dingerz on this team than anything else?
speckops - July 30, 2009
Exactly.
baseballgirl - July 30, 2009
It's about that, too
although not quite so much the last two years, when Cust had good totals (26 and 33, IIRC).
The guy got on base a lot in 07 and 08, and hit for power. Those are the two most important thing for an offense. Yes, he’s a really bad fielder. So they should DH him, not DFA him.

Leopold Bloom - July 30, 2009
Cute story.
ElQuesoCapitan - July 30, 2009
Yeah, and it's not really his fault that his 16 homeruns lead the team
He should never be “THE” power guy.
baseballgirl - July 30, 2009
Still not a good thing considering how bad the offense has been over that time
Flashfire - July 30, 2009
Okay, here goes
His stats don’t accurately reflect his value. OPS doesn’t account for strikeouts. Before you pretend strikeouts are like other outs only better because of no double-play possibility, consider that Cust’s strikeout rate was so ridiculous that he has little chance of making a productive out when you need one.
Additionally, walks just aren’t as valuable with a team like the A’s, with a team where nobody is hitting for average. So Cust isn’t that valuable to the A’s walking in the middle of a bat line-up.
And he’s just a bad player this year. He’s impeding the development of much more valuable players, taking up space for little reason.
Finally, I’m just tired of watching bad baseball. And with the exception of his three-true-outcomes skill set, he can’t do anything else. Beyond stats, aren’t we entitled to just want to watch people play well?
RLangford - July 30, 2009
+1,000
Trainman - July 30, 2009
With power and no BA (due to K's) he's really an OK 5th place hitter.
The problem is that relies on having a decent 3rd and cleanup hitter.
speckops - July 30, 2009
I still don't think those points outweigh
the values of his homers. This guy has hit 16 of the team’s 71 HR this year — not counting Holliday, it’s 16 of the 60 still on the roster. That’s basically a quarter of the team’s HR production.
On bad baseball: I agree he shouldn’t be in the field. Unfortunately, Hairston is hurt so Geren is kind of stuck. 2 of those young players managed to screw up a fly ball to right-center last night. 2 others screwed one up the last time the team came through Boston.
The best argument I think is the one about letting younger players play.
Nick - July 30, 2009
Pointing out the screw up of others,
doesn’t make Cust a better fielder. It just points out that others sometimes screw up.
You’re overvaluing 16 home runs.
RLangford - July 30, 2009
Cust is a bad fielder
So is Big Papi. So is Travis Haffner.
My point about Davis and Sweeney is that Cust isn’t the only one who makes dumb mistakes. In fact, some of the young players who might play in his stead would make some of their own.
This is the worst HR-hitting team in the AL. Giving up 1/5 of their homers seems kinda unwise to me.

I’m sorry you don’t like watching strike outs. But replacing him with anyone on the A’s roster in 07 or 08 would have cost the team wins. And watching HRs is fun, too.
Nick - July 30, 2009

casilla has been consistently bad for about 2 and half monthes
green tusks - July 30, 2009

brian.only - July 30, 2009
they're hating on breslow. -0.525 WPA
speckops - July 30, 2009
Were those earned runs?!?!?!
baseballgirl - July 30, 2009
Yes.
If Cust were fast and bad hands, he would get an error. Instead, it’s a gift double.
speckops - July 30, 2009
Official scoring is a joke sometimes
baseballgirl - July 30, 2009
No argument here.
speckops - July 30, 2009
He only gave up one earned run.
Rated-R Superstar - July 30, 2009
But both of the runs were earned.
speckops - July 30, 2009
Wuertz was charged with two earned.
Rated-R Superstar - July 30, 2009
He gave up a 3-run bomb in a high-leverage situation
Therefore, the large negative WPA.
doctorK - July 30, 2009
Oh, no debate here.
It’s just a joke that, as far as I can tell, their WPA does not include fielding. It’d be tough, but using an inaccurate system kinda makes things worst.
I don’t think Cust got a negative WPA assigned for that double.
speckops - July 30, 2009
always a silver lining
BleedGreen - July 30, 2009

Not easy for a team with Springer, Casilla, and EGon in the bullpen together

speckops - July 30, 2009
cause they indifferent whether u advance or not
rktse - July 30, 2009
Why risk throwing the ball away when you only need one more out, or they need more than one run to tie?
LoneStranger - July 30, 2009
Yeah, but you also have the chance to throw the runner out.
By ignoring the runner, you’re already saying it doesn’t matter if he scores. So if you throw the ball into CF in attempting to throw him out and he scores, are you really that much worse off?
speckops - July 30, 2009
It's usually used the run doesn't matter.
They’d rather take the safe route and just get the guy out in a popup or a grounder/throw to first.
LoneStranger - July 30, 2009
But you don't know that's going to happen.
speckops - July 30, 2009
You are correct.
You don’t know what is going to happen. I’m saying that in situations where it will take more than one run to tie the game, you can make decisions that will help you get that last out or two.
One of those decisions is to place your fielders in a spot where they can more easily get a grounder, and that will give the runner a bigger leadoff. The other is to not throw the ball to the base when the runner stealing, because if you try to force it, you may overthrow the ball, allowing the run to score and not showing any outs for it.
LoneStranger - July 30, 2009
Basically someone has to cover the base and creates a hole that a rutine ball can be hit through.
designatedforassignment - July 30, 2009
That's not a bad point.
I still feel like the ~25% chance of throwing the runner out is a better bet than the ball finding that hole as the 2B/SS covers.
speckops - July 30, 2009
I don't know, but it makes me think of Bon Jovi.
Leopold Bloom - July 30, 2009

is that there is always a tomorrow.

GreenNGoldSooner - July 30, 2009

Leopold Bloom - July 30, 2009
I need about a tree-fitty.
It was about that time that I realized that the Girl Scout was a six story high Loch Ness monster……
LoneStranger - July 30, 2009

BleedGreen - July 30, 2009

Split with the Sox is not too bad
All things considered.
worldblee - July 30, 2009

The Dogfather - July 30, 2009

For me, that day is NOW.
doctorK - July 30, 2009
Oh I am pissed off

ElQuesoCapitan - July 30, 2009

Oh well, at least my GOG guess was right on the series outcomeshitdoctorK - July 30, 2009
Woulda been nice to go 3-1 against one of the better teams in baseball
As it is, a split is alright.
Let’s get ’em tomorrow.
Joey C. - July 30, 2009
Very un-Custian....swinging on a 2-0 pitch
franks a lot - July 30, 2009
sigh
baseballgirl - July 30, 2009

green tusks - July 30, 2009
A split in Fenway is GOOD
All things considered, we’ll take it. Got a gift on Tuesday
baseballgirl - July 30, 2009
We've gotten many gifts over the last few weeks
BleedGreen - July 30, 2009
2-2 against a good team isn't too bad.
LoneStranger - July 30, 2009
Sigh.
Rated-R Superstar - July 30, 2009

I'm trying to free-form!!!!
BleedGreen - July 30, 2009
Adrian: I'm bored, bored, bored, of having a losing record!
worldblee - July 30, 2009
I left when it was 1-0...
What the fuck happened?
Orodawg - July 30, 2009
Wuertz, Breslow and Springer were charged with a combined five runs.
Cust misplayed a ball in the outfield.
Rated-R Superstar - July 30, 2009
I meant Casilla and not Springer, though.
Rated-R Superstar - July 30, 2009
That misplayed ball changed the whole game.
ElQuesoCapitan - July 30, 2009
Truth.
