Too bad we score runs when Braden is pitching
If only we could score like 4 runs when Duke is pitching, we might get a win!

Believe it or not, that inning is exactly why the A's suck
If you saw the base hit by Raj Davis, a runner should be send and should score from second without a throw (and Ordonez was just lobbing it into the cutoff man), then Hannahan just needed to bounce one to second, and Crosby also failed to get a 4th run home.
I’m glad for the 3 runs but that was an inning full of bad baseball.

I hate Rod Allen so much.
He’s definitely the worst color commentator this side of Rex Hudler.
He’s been a dumbass all night, but the best was right now when he wondered if Ziegler has “always thrown with that arm angle.” Seriously? I wish someone would punch this guy in the throat.

Of course he hasn't
The points I was implying was that A) nobody is always a sidearm/submarine pitcher and B) Ziegler has been in the news a lot lately and every single story details his switch to this delivery. It would take about 30 seconds of research on the A’s most interesting player to know that.

But gee Mr. Peabody,
wouldn’t going back and changing the Harden trade destroy the fabric of space?

it's not a slump, it's a scoreless streak

It's a "market correction"
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

The swing doesn't seem too long
He just doesn’t swing where the ball is. Maybe he borrowed Dan Johnson’s sunblock or something.

If Ziggy gets his first career save tonight, it’ll be earned.

Or, if we make three errors, unearned

thus extending both streaks!
Everyone wins!

An unearned run would technically break the streak
Fernando Valenzuela allowed an unearned run in his first start, I believe I saw Joe Posnanski write recently.

I finally get my way
Ziggy to save!!!!
Go z man
I think I just bought a scalped ticket for a seat covered by a tarp
If Ziggy stays in the game and blows the save, will everybody hate him?

Go Ziggy!!!
I hate unproductive outs and the A's are producing them at record production
Succeed or not, I'm glad Ziggy's getting the chance

It's been so long
that I went to cue up “celebration” and realized it was on 8 track.

So to answer that question about Ziggy giving up a run if it meant winning...
...we don’t have to worry about that.

Ziggy's a stud!
He’s got ice-water pumping through that submarine arm of his!

That was not an easy save

The Ziggy Era begins

Only took 35 freaking scoreless innings before we decided to use him!

Amazing
Street should never see a game in which we have any sort of lead.
Congratulations to Ziggy.
