I can't rewind my shady internet site. What was Hosmer doing after making the throw to Dansby? He couldn't have been that far from the bag that Steele had to cover.

 

He took a step or two to his right to field it so I think Steele covering was the most natural outcome.  I wouldn't have been completely shocked if he had hustled to the base but it would've been a slightly awkward cover, especially since Steele should've broken down earlier and caught the throw.

Haven't been able to watch but I see the A's run is unearned for Steele, but looking at the PBP I don't see any reason it would be unearned.  Just a mistake in my score app?

The runner would not have been in scoring position if it weren't for the error on Dansby allowing him to 2B.

[UMFan83]

Also, do you want to maybe like throw a strike to the bottom of the A's order Steele?

[UMFan83]

Wisdom in RF cost us a run and the lead

Ahh, they didnt mention an error in my score app

[Ding Dong Johnson]

Pee Wizzy with the solid D

[UMFan83]

Come on Steele....they scored 2 runs all series before this inning lol

[UMFan83]

Very timely GIDP to get out of it!

[CubinNY]

Gotta get Steele out. 

[Ding Dong Johnson]

Pee Wizzy's D bailed out by the DP

If only we had some other options for RF on days when Seiya has to sit.  But nah we have to make sure the weak-hitting DH/C is on the roster.

he's listed 2 inches taller than Stroman which is some great branding work on his part

I didn't notice until you said that, and now I can't unsee it.  It looks like a tractor came over and sliced off most of the pitching mound.

[UMFan83]

OK wild pitch moved them over....we need to score some runs this inning now.

 

Edit: Very nice Belli!  One of the times where a reduced K rate really helps out.

boy that is a brutal throw decision from Aguilar, though admittedly Bellinger would've made the play at 1st interesting

[mul21]

What a horrible decision by the A's 1B.  Thanks for the free out.

[UMFan83]

Torrens roster spot continues to be useful.

It looks like the batters are in the foreground

[CubinNY]

Torrens is wasting a spot. 

[Rex Buckingham]

Wisdom making up for that D

[UMFan83]

PWIZ makes up for the defense with a 2 run triple!

[Nolansomebody]

A's having a conference on the mound now.

[Transmogrified Tiger]

hello there Patrick Wisdom sending 94 at the top of the zone about 370 feet
