NAH IT'S TRUE BUT EVERY GAME COUNTS...DONT KNOW IF YOU REMEMBER BUT A FEW YEARS AGO, THERE WAS ONLY A FEW GAMES DIFFRENCE ON WHO TOOK THE WEST...SO EVERY GAME IS POTENTIALLY IMPORTANT, BETWEEN THESE TEAMS.

I FEEL LIKE BLANTON WAS A STRAIGHT VICTIM THIS YEAR, HE WAS PITCHING GEMS EARLIER IN THE YEAR AND GOT NO RUN SUPPORT AND WERE GETTING A LOT OF LOSSES HE SHOULDNT HAVE GOTTEN AND THAT I THINK BROUGHT DOWN HIS CONFIDENCE AND ENDED UP PITCHING LIKE 3 BAD GAMES AT LEAST TOWARDS THE END OF THE FIRST HALF OF THIS SEASON. I WISH WE WOULDNT HAVE DEALT HIM AWAY JUST LIKE HARDEN BUT THIS WASNT AS BAD CUZ BLANTON HAS STARTED TO BECOME A LIABILITY.

and eats up innings
Except for when he only goes 3 or 4 innings.

I don't think the A's lost anything at all in this deal... Blanton has been declining in just about every category possible... Gio will probably come up and be just as good or better... Good move.

The story of his career... He did take some losses when he pitched some good games... That's happened to him since he's come up, and it seems to happen to him more than any other A's pitcher...

But his ERA is just below 5.00 right now, and his ERA was by far the highest of all the starters in the rotation this year.

Whoever replaces Blanton will likely be just as good or better, Blanton hasn't been that good this year.

With or without him (or Harden) this wasn't a championship caliber team anyway.
