Gallagher has a lot of K’s, a low ERA for the A’s, but allowed way too many batters to reach, and it would catch up to him.

It just caught up to him.

my point is that

he needs to settle down after the error. he can’t worry about the runner on first and forget what the game plan is for the batter. he left the pitch up, it was hit out, and that’s on him, not on the error.

he needs to learn how to have a shut down inning after his team gives him runs. Not getting an out until the fifth batter of an inning? Not good. A learning process for him? Absolutely.

Yep, his pitch count is high for 4 innings, but not high for an outing

Let him go and work through this stuff.

It’s a lot more beneficial to see him try to get 6 innings out of this start than it is to see Alan Embree pitch (ever again).

How embarrassing to blow a 5 run lead

No matter who’s on the mound.

He has good stuff but when he implodes he does it right.

Geren should have gone out there and ripped into him like Lou did in Chicago. When that happened he settled down.

Anyway, it really is not upsetting when we are out of it. Just one of those things that happens. All part of learning.

What the hell you doing here? You’re batting this inning, I think.

I think some runs are in order

especially since I don’t want Ziggy to break the record cheaply, after giving up the go-ahead run. Bad memory. Runs.

Runs.

Runs.

The A's colors are green and gold.

The trouble with the streak

is that it’s kind of dumb.

Ziggy’s job in this situation was to prevent the runner from scoring. He failed at that. And it’s not the first time he allowed an inherited runner to score.

That’s not to belittle Ziegler’s performance. He has been fantastic, and I’ve gotten a kick of out of the streak too. It’s something to be excited about.

But that inning is a reminder that the streak is a bit silly, even though its’ still going.

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

Let's see, A's package Ziegler and Murton, and

maybe they can get …Nady from the Yankees!
