But you could also make a argument for Crede trying to get out of the way of a pitch thrown at him. Although it wouldnt be a strong one. But there is no way he went out over the plate to get hit. I have never seen that called in my life, even though I have seen instances where it should have been called. Its not the umps fault we lost, as it is always in the teams hands to what you do in certain situations, but there umps sure helped the A's win these last 2 games.
