Kendry Morales Tatters the A's Bullpen, Undoing Tomko's Bid to Go 3-0

As time goes on… it’s evident that Kennedy’s “streak” is looonnnggg over. It was pretty evident from the beginning of the year that Ziggy’s "streaK’ was looonnnggg over. That’s why AN isn’t a GM.

What an fucking joke in the 7th inning.

Zero runs should have been allowed.

Kennedy committing his 234,000th error. Ziegler pitching like absolute garbage.

I turned to my slegnA friend and said, “I bet you Morales clubs one right here”

Sure enough he did. Ziggy couldn’t buy himself an out to save himself.

A feeble and pathetic, disgusting effort after Tomko left.

The first time in my life I have left a game early with the A’s down. I left right before the A’s batted in the 9th. I weighed up the thought of getting stuck in traffic and the A’s coming back and said, “No fucking way they come back, let’s get outta here”

At least the slegnA friends I was with were clasy enough not to rub it in. One of them even said, The Angels got a gift there tonight.

I don’t think umps have ever won or lost a game for a team, a good team on a good night can get past a bad call or two. But I do wonder about the stats…

The official scorekeeper is allowed to give an error on a play a certain defensive player “should have made.” Upon this allowance, the official scorekeeper has the right to fantasize about how the inning would have worked out if the error had not been committed, thus disallowing certain runs that might otherwise be called, “earned.”

So my question then, if a umps call is obviously wrong, why can’t the official scorekeeper be allowed to give an error on a call the ump “should have made?”

It was obvious Breslow tagged dude before he hit the bag, no one is arguing that. That would have been out number two. Zeeg then gets the first hitter he faces, barely, and Oakland is still in the lead. With the Ump error, the inning is over, no more earned runs are allowed, yet Zeegs gives up 4 earned runs because the inning continued.

And no, I don’t have Zeegs on my fantasy team.

Easily our best hitter and fielder for the A’s this year. Check the stats. Superstar in the making. GO SWEENEY!

he’d have been out of the inning with that out. if the ump didn’t make a HORRIBLE call. It kills me that there are such fickle fans out there. He also got the ground ball that came straight off the plate….He’d have been out of the inning then too. He also hasn’t pitched for a week….that’s GEREN’s fault. EVERYBODY knows that a pitcher has to pitch every 4 or so days….and he is TERRIBLE about using his full bullpen. He panics at the drop of a hat. Up until this point Ziegler had an ERA under 3 and has worked his butt off trying to get it back down from over 4 after Geren kept pitching him with the flu way back.
