Schmidt had a shaky first inning. He also had Dominguez drop a ball you need to catch, allowing 2 of the 3 runs in. But the good: Schmidt went a 3rd time through the lineup without ant damage or shakiness.

Analytics still has this team's on the field strategy by the B-----. Not good. Trevino needed to bunt. They needed to give Dominguez the green light to steal with Trevino up too.

By the way, does anyone know that both Somerset and SWB each have over 200 SBs this year? Somerset was 2nd to Hartford in steals (who they just beat 2-0 in the best of 3 EL semis tonight with Jones driving in the winning run in the 10th)…

John Fisher, the owner of the A's. The only owner in baseball to screw over 3 cities at the same time.

1.) He screwed Oakland, by taking their team away from them that thousands of fans loyally supported for 56 years. LOT of generations of fans and star players.

2.) He screwed Sacramento by making that city the A's home fo…

"This charming and meticulously researched book will remind you of baseball’s power to change and enrich lives far beyond the diamond."

"A young man from Compton rises to the highest levels of baseball greatness.

Considered one of the classiest baseball players ever, this is Roy White's story, but it's also the story of a unique period in baseball history when the Yankees fell from grace and regained glory and the country dealt with societal changes in many ways."
