Maybe it was an attempted 3-4 to get the batter, but the 2nd baseman failed to handle the throw. Retrieved it (or whatever) and threw to get the runner originally on first trying to get all the way to third.
Very fractured play-by-play, anyway.

could have been worse...
at least we didn’t have to stay up to watch them lose it in the 10th or 11th…

I feel so bad for Greinke
maybe it doesn’t bother him that much, but I can’t believe that.

greinke's probably busy being mad about the 4 walks
he’s been a royal long enough to realize that the runs they scored in the his last start are supposed to last the whole month.

And the Bullpen Builder Extrordinaire strikes again!
How many of you would love Glass if he fired Moore and Hillman outright after this game?

You and I might, perhaps, define love differently.

how many times will Trey say, in his post-game comments
we just didn’t square up to enough balls out there tonight

Someone be sure to report what Trey has to say
for those of us who are spared the post game show.

He Never Gives
Baseball answers anyway; it’s all about reading the bible.
I used to be an A's fan until they left town and got good.
