Meanwhile, Oakland gets out of a bases loaded, no out jam by striking out Josh Hamilton and getting a 5-4-3 DP from whomever follows him. And then Crisp hits yet another HR in the top of the next inning.

Angels losing 4-2 to the A's. Bases loaded, one out and Josh Hamilton at the plate. This is what they paid the big bucks for. And Hamilton grounds out to the pitcher for a force out to essentially kill the rally. Trumbo makes the next out and the Angels get nothing out of that inning.

Why in the blue hell are the announcers talking about pulling Bedard after 4 innings?

I guess they're focused on this:

I get that in the big picture, it's a tough call.  You don't want to send the message to all these youngsters that a bad week can get you shipped out; they'll all grind the bat to sawdust.

But DAMN.  You've got to pull the trigger.

Not as bad as I do...  Hell, I picked up Bedard off waivers to start for my fantasy team today (consider the risk in that - Astros lost 6 straight and hadn't done shit at the plate, yet I had faith...) and won't even get a 'W' ...  (But will gladly take the no-decision for the 13 runs I've seen from the 'Stros tonight)...
