Frankie Rodriguez What?!?

[Eric]

I need your help. I need to settle a bet.

 

Does anyone have the game (hopefully the video of the play, you'd be a hero) when Frankie Rodriguez failed to catch the catcher's return throw and ended up losing the game?

 

I remember it was against the A's, but I cannot seem to find the video of the incident.

 

Thank you in advance.

I've never heard anyone call him frankie

I think he had all the videos destroyed, that were eating into his wallet.

No, no it is not.

I remember being really upset about this.  I'm pretty sure it vaulted Oakland into first for a day.

After his tenure here we simply call him Frank Rodriguez.

Frank did bobble a throw back and some how ended up sprawled on the ground trying to get the ball and throw it home.

Only time I've ever seen that.

I've turned the page.  Once the page has turned, it shall never be unturned.

I was visiting my brother in the Bay area and we were at that game. Horrible all around. I was having heat exhaustion and retreated to the concession area and the shade just in time to see Eric Chavez launch a game-tying 3-run homer in the 7th inning. Then Rodriguez dropping the return throw from Molina and Kendall racing home and the A's celebrating like they won the World Series.

you must also tip the cap. the page cannot be turned unless the cap is also tipped (4th law of thermodynamics).

I call him Francis.

Francis Rodriguez was a good closer for us, but he had his share of stupid moments.

[mulwin444]

According to his girlfriend's father, Francis needs to lighten up...

[NorCal Halo]

I still think that pitch was a strike.

[jangel7]

I caught a foul ball at that game. Great day disastrous ending

[Taylor]

K-Rod really dropped the ball on that one.

[Tank]

ralsty signed the ball after the game.

[disarcina]

Frankie Rodriguez, indeed.
