Doesn’t BA require a subscription? Highly doubt the A’s org ponies up for that.
They should have had the Rockies play there instead; it would have evened things out. The Rockies are on pace to hit less than 100 homers. In THAT park!
The wildest thing is that they've had some tough breaks this year (Brubaker, Cruz, Burrows) and it hasn't mattered.
Both Niekros pitched for the Braves in ‘73 & ‘74, and for the MFY in 1985.
Back in the 1950's, Johnny and Eddie O'Brien played for the Pittsburgh Pirates for a few seasons. Neither brother was a consistent starter, but they did play games together as the middle-infield duo.

To follow up on this, he had an MRI on Friday that revealed a mild hip strain. They'll decide by Monday if he'll go on the IL. MFY lost three games to Texas with Judge on the bench.
I look forward to the Rays Pirates mid week. The 2 best teams in baseball!
