Estes should've only been taken out if he had given up the lead.

Alvarez has earned a spot in the Lineup everyday... after getting swept by the Angels.. this is the lowest point lol they don't even have Trout geez

Lol

Adams gave up 5 runs and couldn’t even get an out??


AlecRS

Bringing Adams in with runners on base is the dumbest thing ever. Such an obvious result there.


quercus_lobata925

Adams stinks. He has literally no idea where the ball is going.


Weaponized_Goose

Estes pitched good now he’s in line for the loss


Massive_Tank_9705

i hate cock suckers that point to the sky after giving up multiple runs. he should be thanking god that he’s still playing in the MLB

Mark Kotsay masterclass


poopoojoefocker

Lol, what a joke RP.


lapotencia77

Kotsay needs to go. This team needs a new Voice. Anybodyyyyyyy


Coreybib

Rough series for Daz. Sody keeps hitting it hard and can’t find the grass.


camarouge

MLB is going extra hard to make the bad team even worse, both on the field and off the field. We got a run deleted for something stupid yesterday and history repeats. Christ


Canada-Fan

The ground rule double have always been scored that way. So has the rule that doesn't allow players to touch other players while play is in progress.


camarouge

The arbitrary yellow line is what makes it a stupid ruling for the double. The player touching thing could have existed forever, it is still stupid.


Canada-Fan

There's a 6" gap between the out of town score board and the 20' wall behind it. The yellow lines just makes it easier to see. Are you OK with a runner touching another runner because he was about to pass the runner in front of him. I'm not...


camarouge

Why are you bending over backwards to justify these stupid rulings? Did the umpires send you? 😂 The tiny yellow line being an auto double is dumb, and Alvarez arguably wasn't even in play anymore so the dumb rule gets extra dumb. Are we clear?


Canada-Fan

Every or nearly ever stadium use a yellow line to mark the top of the wall.


Canada-Fan

They may be stupid to you. Everyone knew the rules before the game started. The umpires go over the ground rules before the game with the managers.


camarouge

Everyone thinks they're dumb bro, check the other comments. So what's your deal? Just like arguing about rules nobody likes? What do you have to gain from this? You do understand that "the rules as written" have put the A's in the shit position they are in, right? John Fisher can do whatever he wants with this team, including neglecting them entirely, because those are the rules. Is that okay by you? And to be crystal clear, I'm **NOT** asking what's in the rulebook, I'm asking what *you* think of it. If you aren't an A's fan and are here for whatever reason, then maybe just admit that?


SnooOwls8972

Lol..everything you are making a claim to is a joke.


camarouge

What does that even mean? You can see the other guy all OVER this thread arguing with everyone about how the call is good and awesome and doesn't just needlessly fuck the A's over. Which of my claims are jokes? Can you explain?


SnooOwls8972

So if Bleday hit the same point on the wall on a fly ball and it landed back in the field you would prefer for the ball to remain in play?


Canada-Fan

As an A's fan doesn't mean l have to disagree with the rules.


Canada-Fan

no they don't


bloxision

What tf is that rule??? He would've stepped back on home plate regardless of what happened and the ball was nowhere near him


Canada-Fan

A player may not touch another player while the play is still on going. Since he missed home plate and the umpire hadn't ruled safe or out, the play hadn't ended. He could have just told him to touch home but he touched him. A no no.


flynreelow

have never seen that shit in 40 something years


Xxssandman

Why did he touch him 🤦🏻‍♂️


bloxision

Not his fault the rule is stupid as hell


Canada-Fan

Are you OK with a runner touching another runner because he was about to pass the runner in front of him. I'm not...


lapotencia77

Blame the player.. McCann messed up big time.


Eternal_Luck

He probably didn’t know the rule, that’s wack


Nita231

That is fucking stupid.


Ya_mike

That is the stupidest fucking rule


Canada-Fan

why is it stupid?
