I was actually always worried about a PED-type issue with Blanco… only because you have to suspect something when a guy blooms late and comes out of nowhere to dominate. But if it’s “just” a foreign substance, he can probably figure out a workaround. Still sucks
Hilarious that more are upset about the managers reaction… vs. Blanco having a foreign substance on the glove to begin with. The way the umpire was waiting indicates that they were tipped off. I dont’ think the A’s have any former Astros… but time to start searching for leaks.
Because we don’t know if that’s really true. If you believe in your player, you should be out there raising hell.
Thought it was interesting that the refs there were just WAITING for him. Someone in A's had to have said something.
They don’t eject players (or even check players deliberately as he was coming out) without reason. I’m not happy about it… but I’m also not questioning these umps in terms of knowing the difference between something natural (sweat) and something not natural.
I ****ing hate Espada. I can’t imagine the players wanna play for him. Dude has no balls to stand for his players, right or wrong.
If we resign Bregman, we need a clause where he takes an extra month off to begin the season for a discount
Back to the game… hard to get a book on Diaz because theres no pitch he doesn’t seem to like. 3D chess.
