ok the home plate ump took a ball off the mask early in the game and now has called strike 3, on only the second strike, TWICE, with two different A's batters.
The've now pulled the second plate umpire to have him suit up and pull the home plate guy. They were saying he looks dazed.
edit: Crisp ties it up with a double

im with you usually but this time i think they're as legit as several other teams we'd normally apply the "law of averages" to. The A's have the same record as Baltimore. When was the last time they were contenders? The A's have great pitching and their hitting is super inconsistent, yes, but when the roster expands I think that will help them, especially with the bullpen. If people stay healthy, and they maintain this 'play til the last out' mentality, no one can say its not legit nor do they not deserve a playoff spot. That's why I have tickets to the last game of the year, Oct. 3rd. Baseball that late, holy shit!
Also Chris Carter has finally come around. He's confident in the box and gets his hands through quickly. Please keep it going. He can be frank thomas jr., I like the hop he gets on a high throw.
4-6 in 10 games is hardly cooling off. its an interesting take to jump to conclusions after 10 games, cause 2 losses under .500 in 10 dooms a team.....
. If you look at the rosters for the games we lost, pennington was out till today, crisp was out for a few of those losses, and cespedes and weeks both sat out a game and im almost certain we lost that game cespedes sat out.
just adding to the conversation defending my team, not trying to stir the pot, but uh we aint coolin off
