A's trail the Senators 1-0 going to the bottom of the fifth. Smith and Feldman both pitching well. Only run so far on Duran's first big hit.

2nd time
PR for Thomas after he gets an X-base hit, and is then followed by an HR. Waste of PR. I’m starting to think it might be worth leaving Thomas on the bases… He really is running much better than in ‘06… and is still faster than Piazza on Mike’s best day in ‘07. (other opinions?)

Hamelton versus Volquez
If you were Texas, would you have done the trade knowing how the trade turned out thus far?
Personally, I don’t really get why Texas dd the trade. The Rangers have absolutly no pitching, so why trade away a good pitcher for a good hitter? The A’s seem to be the exception, but its generally easier to find average hitters than average pitchers, especially in Texas, and Volquez has pitched well in a hitters park.
I know they needed a CF, but even so…

young pitchers are a lot riskier than young hitters
(though hamilton obviously a little higher risk)

are you asking about the balk?

Apparently so
Gameday just said automatic ball, but a balk makes sense.

No such thing as a balk with no runners

Huston was talking to himself. Ump thought he was talking to him and started mouthing to Huston while walking to the mound.

"Ump is douche bag"
so just let the guys behind you end it. Sheesh. “Strike outs are fascists” (and less probable for Street so far this year).

No.
That umpire was acting like an asshole. I would’ve said the SAME thing if he did that to the other team. You DO NOT walk after the PLAYER who is walking AWAY. Ump was acting like this was a pissing contest.

You don't walk after a player EVER
nor do you speak to a player about a play, etc. unless the player speaks to you. It’s entirely unprofessional what he did.

If I ran baseball
Home plate umpire Jeff Nelson would be suspended without pay for a month for what he just did.
An umpire should never ever EVER instigate a fight. That’s such unprofessional bullshit. He has no right to challenge a player like that. But, the commissioner of baseball doesn’t have a pair of testicles, so he would never punish umpires for acting like douchebags.
Street should file a formal complaint.
