Ziggy pitched sidearm, jamming bats for Forst and Billy
The SABRs from BART. He pitched wi’ his right hand
He’ll make it this far
Become the setup man, then we’ll be Ziggy’s band
Ziggy really flang, screwed up guys and threw down way low
Like some Chad from the past, he could lick ‘em by sliding
He left no pitches to hang
Came on bases loaded man, well flung and no scores ran.
So where were the SABRs while the guy tried to break groundballs
Just the JUGS gun to guide us,
So scouts bitched about his fans and should we crush his dream plans?
Ziggy pitched for time, thriving with nary a boohoo
The scouts were just crass, but for the A’s
With God given gas
He didn’t get too far but boy could he pitch sidearm
Making outs with his slider Ziggy sucked up into Beane’s mind
Like a Bradford messiah
When the scouts had killed his plan we had to sign up the man.
Oh yeah
Ooooooo
Ziggy piiitched siiiideaaaaaaaaaaarrrrm

Can I just say that it really does make sense
if Embree pitches the 8th? This is one of the situations where it isn’t a bad move – Ziggy’s command was pretty iffy in the 7th, and two lefties are coming up. It’s not always a mistake to bring Embree in.
