One was a bad hop.

One went through his legs. Rohlinger had an up the line throw that was an out but the ump blew the call.

Wow that was most certainly bullshit. Jpon and I left in the seventh inning because we have to get up early tomorrow. I got into my car at Walnut Creek BART right as the wrap was ending and only then did I hear about Sandoval’s hit.

I hate this team.
