The fan was drunk and harassing a female employee, the male employee stuck up for her. Fan spits on him numerous times, second time his mouth was full of blood
Williams imploding over and over wasn't on my bingo card for this season. I get he's a notorious slow starter but a 10 ERA has cost us 4-5 games at this point.
explanation they gave on the telecast is that umpiring crew said that the fielder has to “voluntarily remove the ball from his glove” in order for it to be a catch & that Callihan dropped the ball involuntarily.
im bullish on them now and going forward, despite usual murphys law scenarios that always seem to befall them high end rotation, especially with kirby and gilbert due back relatively soon, deep pool of prospects to either trade or add to what they have, #3 pick in the draft this year
A's are about to win on catchers interference because the string on the glove hit the bat on a groundout They were 90% to win and this puts them to 95%, but still a crazy rule
Got a favorable last call, but at getting out of the bases loaded jam by then proceeding to gas three straight hitters.
I think 2027. He should honestly hold out until the pirates get serious (never). He could go the next two seasons without throwing another pitch and still get a record deal
Any competent team and he gets a win tonight but this lineup was constructed by the dumbest gm the planet has ever seen
Should have been a shut out. Cruz was the benefit of a horrendous review decision for the 2nd night in a row
Feel like 3 straight middle middle gas isn't worthy of pitching ninja treatment but wth Like that is great in May but I've seen this enough times to know that when it matters one of those ends up in the seats
Cards has 3 hits against him lol. I wouldn't saybthey had their way with him tonight or over his career.
He had a .788 whip with a 2.70 era vs the Cards coming into tonight. I'm confused on when the Cards have had their way with him.
His career ERA is 2.19 They are better against him than the vast majority of the league. Theyve also handed him 4 of his 7 losses, with him leaving the game as the losing pitcher. Which is why I said kinda. Didnt say they dominated him or anything.
6 innings, 1 run, 7 k 8.1 innings, 2 runs, 8k 6.1 innings, 1 run, 8k 6 innings, 5 runs, 7k 6 innings, 2 runs, 6k He had 1 bad outing vs the Cards. I couldn't care less about the W/L, he doesnt control that. "They've kinda had their way with him" isn't supported by the game log. They did get to him in that one game though.
Was shocked that his ERA is still in single digits after that. Although from the looks of his Fangraphs page he might end up in double digits pretty shortly if he's going to keep striking out 3.5 per 9 while walking 5.5.
No, it's not. "Fared slightly better than most, mostly bc of one game" would have been accurate. They haven't had their way with him outside of one game.
Man. A’s have a bunch of weirdos in their bullpen. Just a scrappy fucking team and kinda cool to seem them just out there doing their damn thing even in a minor league park. Fuck their owner.
