They watch the replays like 24 times a piece from 8 different angles finally concluding it was a terrible call. If you have to slow it down frame by frame and watch it more than once you can’t blame the ump.

But I started having spams in my early teens. Age doesn’t necessarily matter when it comes to back pain.
CuttheMullet, from "The Thread":
"Whenever I’m about to do something, I think "would an idiot do that?" and if they would, I do not do that thing."
I think/hope this is mostly kid gloves
He hopefully didn’t do anything to bad, just felt a tweak in his back and seeing as he is a large part of the future and the A’s aren’t winning anything this season they decided to get him out of there.
Geren has been very protective of the young SP’s this season so I’m hoping this was just him being hyper-cautious.
In any case, they have to limit the young starters' innings somehow
so if a situation like this happens, there’s no reason to keep him in.
"And Julio Franco is batting right-handed!" -- Wayne Hagin, A's radio play-by-play, mid-80s
He might not feel that terrible, might be just a little tug
Hopefully, the A’s are just being very, very cautious with him. It would be very easy for a “little tug” to turn into a change in his pitching motion that screws up his arm.
And like I said, being young helps but it doesn’t make you immune. He could have slept funny last night, or had a problem with all the flying this road trip.

In there.
Definitely in there.
I didn’t think they had a chance to win today since they won yesterday. Friday I was making MMA shorts logos. Yesterday, I was watching UFC 100.

Since we have now won...
I give credit to Crosby acting as the backup bullpen catcher.

He's almost as valuable there as Geren is warming up the pitcher between innings

Damn Bailey.
That was freaking efficient.
What about Barry?
"Barry who?" Forst said, and I felt like I was in the middle of a knock-knock joke.
Bragging rights
He’s flying to the All-Star game with TB All-stars, and Mgr. Maddon.
Should be a fun trip!

Andrew Bailey to opponents:

And to think Bailey was 1-8 in AA last August
as a starter…

Here's what I like about game wins like this.....
late inning runs, coming from behind, not giving up, two games where we scored from a deficit, WINNING!!!!!

Going to one of em. Have to trade tix for Sat since they changed the game start time.
Looking forward to a game in person!
