Why is Huston Street still in an A's uniform, let alone "trying" to close ball games?

Question

Let's start a "Dump Huston" chant when the A's have a lead late in the ball game in Oakland. We MUST get this chump out of here!

Answer 1

you A's fans are relentless. You wanted Dye out after one bad season and see what happened

Street is a good closer

Hes already got more saves this year than he ded last year, and considering you got him 4 years ago in the supplemental draft, and he went ahead and got 23 saves in his first MLB season, thats pretty good

and if the As werent 6 games under .500 and actually gave him a few more save opportunities, he might be doing better  

Answer 2

yeah but ziggy and blevins might get some save opportunities now

those guys dont know what a typical a's game is like

smith pitches 6 strong innings gives up 2 runs but we score three, ziegler comes in gets two dp's in two innings and street comes in to s***w up the game and then we lose

Answer 3

People are reluctant to let go of former R.O.Y. Look at Bobby Crosby.

Answer 4

Wow, he's having one bad season and people want to dump him. Geeze, I get annoyed by the what have you done for me today mentality. Look at what he did his three previous seasons too.

Answer 5

You don't dump player because your having a bad season. Watch if you dumb him he probably comes back with a different team and will have a little minor league stint and get help with the pitching coach and be a killer closer. So that probably all he needs is a minor league stint to get his mechanics better and give him confidence back.
