So if Ziggy faces Molina with the bases loaded
and one out, is the inning automatically over?
I like Cindi. A. She never pretends to know more than she does. B. She has unbridled enthusiasm for her "Hotties," and isn't afraid to show it. -IM4Oakgal
With nobody out, we're talking automatic triple play.

Right
Crosby would tag the runner from second, run to the bag for the force at second, then run to first, all before Molina reaches the coaching box.

How is that for a walk-off?
Arizona vs KC, no score for 9 innings, and then, just like that, HR, 1-0!
KC won a game? That is quite a "storied" rivalry.

He continues to get hit quite hard. Just a matter of time before his stats blow up.
Maybe, but he wasn't really hit hard in that inning

Street Still not hitting in the 90s
What happened to his 95mph fastball?
When will then be now? Soon.
Just think - Ziggy could've been the one out there for the attack of the sprinklers.
That probably would’ve made it into his next diary.

But the A's play a lot of close games,
Street will have plenty of chances to get work, no need to waste him in a non-save situation. And then when the save op comes up, he becomes unavailable.

Wow. The night of stupid questions/comments on the post-game show continues
That Amy bimbo is interviewing Alex Hinshaw and talking about Friday the 13th and weird things happening like the sprinklers coming on at 10 and she throws in, “And the way you wear your hat.” She gives a grin/smirk like it’s supposed to be a good joke and he starts saying “That’s how I always wear it” as she’s adding “That’s a little weird.”
Then she goes into her next question and he’s just kind of blank-faced. What an idiotic thing to say.
