I got spoiled in my youth getting to watch guys like Ausmus. I didn't appreciate the job he did behind the plate until he was gone. Adam Everett too, nothing got past him except opposing pitcher's fastballs lol...
fiers does get rattled easily but should have been out of the inning with only one run given. baseball.
So if you are Hinch, do you just let Fiers get his brained bashed and take the loss, or do you pull him, waste your pen and hope you get back into the game.
It is manageable at this point because he got out of a bases loaded, 1 out jam. I am still not feeling all that great though, because through 3 innings the A's have had 7 base runners. Maybe he settles down, but I have to think he has a very short leash.
