Coco Crisp overrules the umpire

[fan_since79]

I can't stand how Oakland continues to win games like this!

MIAMI (AP) -- With the score tied in the ninth inning, Coco Crisp slid across home plate on a close play, rose and signaled safe as umpire Marty Foster indicated out.

 

A 3 1/2-minute replay review determined Foster was wrong and Crisp was right.

 

Thanks to the ruling reversal, Crisp scored the first of four runs in the inning off closer Steve Cishek, and the Oakland Athletics bounced back after blowing a four-run lead to beat the Miami Marlins 9-5 on Friday night.

geez -- that's embarrassing for the home plate ump --I'd keep Crisp out of the line up the next time that ump is behind the plate calling balls and strikes in an A's game.

I know the video review actually overruled the call on the field, but it just seems to be typical of the A's this year. A charmed team.

[m0nkey]

Crisp just signaled safe. Before a call was made. Nothing over the top

[fan_since79]

It's just the imagery of the situation. Everything Oakland touches seems to turn to gold this year.

[DW711]

What exactly did he do wrong?

[fan_since79]

Nothing. It's just the whole picture. They get the calls, they get the clutch hits, they get the comebacks, they get the insanely good relief pitching, etc, etc.

 

For the Angels, it seems like a struggle much of the time. For the A's, it's more like a walk in the park.

 

Time to close the thread, I guess. My attempt at some light humor obviously fell short.

Reminds me of the Red Sox last year and we know how that ended

[fan_since79]

It ended pretty well for them last year!

Come on guys.

We know how this ends.  Year in and out, Oakland racks up the wins during the regular season.  Then, crap the bed in the postseason with quick exits.

With any luck the wildcard team will kick their @ss in the first round

What exactly did he do wrong?

 

Nothing. AW fans acting like bitches.

 

he A's just aren't losing this year.

If you're going by just the past two years....why are you even waiting to see the conclusion for this season?

This reminds me of 2002 and we know how that ended

We lost game 163 that season.

The A's are just the superior franchise right now

[Stradling]

Is it me or is there an overwhelming opinion on here that we would lose a one game playoff? I know anything can happen in a one game playoff, I also realize we have a suspect BP, right now, but we have a veteran ball club that can do a lot of things right. Obviously you'd like to avoid the one game format, but I would be confident either way.

That's not how the season ended.

Public school?

I put our odds at 50/50

Cool. So if things play out the same way then current circumstances would force our season to end differently than 2002. Good to know.

[Lou]

I never said how this season would end. I stated i remembered how 2002 ended.

Yep, public school.

Yep, public school.

And all I said was that we lost our 163rd game that season.

Yep, no school.

You responded directly to my statement of how the 2002 season ended by saying we lost game 163. So either you just respond with irrelevant info or you don't know that we won the World Series that year.

Fan since 2003?

Schooled.

[fan_since79]

I was so mad when we lost Game 163 that year. I could hardly watch the rest of that ALDS.
