From Zach Levine's live blog at Chron.com: LINK

"Unofficial Scorer -  Quick visit from manager and trainer for Roy Oswalt, who was hit by the comebacker, which eventually turned into a 1-6-3 RBI out. He shooed them away pretty quickly, though."
In the end, my dissolution with the game of baseball will not be a result of any loss of love for the game, rather from the realization that I can no longer bear the anger its supposed stewards cause to be built up in my soul. -Lee (01/08/2013)

Caught up to the game late and since there's nada being reported here, had to go somewhere to find out what was going on......

Of course you could always do some PBP for me so I wouldn't have to subject myself to the Chron

Hell, that's two strike-'em-out-throw-'em-out double plays in two days, isn't it?
