Open Thread: Game 128 - A's at Angels (Cont.)
by louismg on Aug 28, 2009 9:11 PM PDT
Email
PrintAfter six full, the A's have scored six full. The Angels, the #1 team in the division, have scored a mere third of that.
Brett Tomko, having reached the 100 pitch mark, was pulled from the game, and Craig Breslow came in, as Geren consulted his "Management by Numbers" playbook and followed the "If pitch count > or = 100, then replace pitcher with Breslow" rule.
But Breslow gave up a near-bomb to Kendry Morales, turning a 6-1 lead to a 6-2 contest. We'll hope that's the end of the nonsense, as the A's bullpen looks to run Tomko's record to 3-0 since joining the A's.

Instant replay question --
So the question being disputed was, “Is it actually a HR?” But if the umps looked at the replay and saw, as I did, that a fan reached over and touched it in play, shouldn’t the umps have actually ruled “ground rule double” and sent Vlad back to 3B?

but i think it’s just hr or call on the field

I think that's a judgment call.
In other words, if the ump thinks Vlad would have scored had the fan not interfered, then the run stands.

I don't think that's the actual rule.
I could be wrong, and certainly most of the time the assumption that the runner would have been held at third stands. But I think the umpire uses his own discretion in relation to runners on base when the ball is put in play. The GRD applies to the hitter/runner.

Put perhaps the "Did the fan touch it?" question is not reviewable.
My thought: Either have replay or don’t. I’m in favor of don’t. But the worst option is this there’s-only-one-thing-that’s-reviewable rule.

That's what I'm wondering
Is it always “what we called live” vs. HR/Not HR? Or can they see a third correct call and make it?

Third option...
No fan interference. It hits the bar, and is a standard double, scoring Vlad.

When you play an inning in which

Terrible, terrible call, but...
If Barton fields it cleanly it’s an out at the plate or at 2B for sure. If he makes a decent feed to Breslow, the ump doesn’t have a tough call. So even on that play, it took two misplays by Barton just to make a bad call possible. And that doesn’t even begin to look at the Kennedy error, Ziggy’s horrific 0-2 pitches, and so on.

I'm sorry, son.
I remember how badly those days sucked and they always seemed to happen on Friday when you had to just sit and stew in it for the weekend.
I thought the exact same thing, but decided to let my bitterness overcome my objectivity. Suck it, objectivity. -salb918

I don't know if it will make it feel any better,
but your life will certainly be punctuated by significant happiness and significant sadness, as is everyone’s. The really bitter, hard, sad uncomfortable times are the countermeasure to the exhilarating, fun, exuberant times. And quite frankly, I would not trade avoidance of the one to miss out on the other.
But that fails to make the present for you any less painful. I empathize with you, son. I don’t like feeling that way, either.

and Raj, don't do anything drastic.
We got Raiders tomorrow and the season’s about two weeks away.

You were doing fine and it all came cashing down?

It's only the first week.
Plenty of time to recover.
