he would have been safe. It wasn't even a double play ball. There was zero chance of getting the runner at first base. Lawrie got caught up in emotions and blew it. A's fans should be upset with him for his stupid uncalled for play.
The only player of coach who lost it was Valentia yesterday. He was getting beat up and retaliated after a home run when Lawrie came to the plate. He got penalized. It should have been over, but the A's couldn't let it go.
