Open Thread: Game 113 - A's at Blue Jays (cont)
We're going to the top of the eighth. The A's managed not score a single run with the bases loaded and no one out in the seventh, and the Jays managed to score another run on a thirty-five foot hit during their turn.
The score is now 5-1. I'm not sure anyone cares anymore.

I couldn't believe...
Croz only had 4 home runs up until this series. I actually caught the one he hit in the first inning in ATL. I suppose that might be worth something. The thing is obviously pretty rare.

Is it four or five?
The announcers and I had four, and then they corrected it to five, since the run scored before the third out?

Five.
The bases were loaded on the double play, so the guy on third scored, and McDonald was tagged out trying to score form 2nd during the rundown.

Listen to that play where the Jays got one on the ground out to the second baseman (?) and see if there was anyway to know, based upon Controneo’s bored effort, what actually happened.
