Tabe Posted April 15, 2022 Share Posted April 15, 2022 3 years ago, the Oakland A's said they were going to retire Dave Stewart's number. Let's check in and see how that's going: https://www.msn.com/en-us/sports/mlb/mlb-world-reacts-to-as-mistreatment-of-team-legend/ar-AAWczMp?li=BBnb7Kz 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Death From Above Posted April 15, 2022 Share Posted April 15, 2022 As far as bad announcers go, I don't usually rail on Buck Martinez too much because I mostly find he's a lot like watching baseball with your old uncle who is too in love with the good ole days, but his love for the game is genuine. But man, every time he calls Cavan Biggio "Calvin", drink, and you'd die. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just happy he's resolved whatever situation was keeping him stuck in his den in Florida last year, blowing calls he wouldn't have if he were actually at the ballpark.

RIPPA Posted April 15, 2022 Author Share Posted April 15, 2022 And this gets its own blurb as more bad news for Oakland and they are the first team to lose a bunch of players when going to Toronto Quote The Athletics announced a series of roster moves Friday, placing outfielder Stephen Piscotty on the Covid-related injured list in addition to placing catcher Austin Allen, left-hander A.J. Puk and left-hander Kirby Snead on the restricted list in advance of the team’s series in Toronto. In their place, the A’s added catcher Christian Bethancourt, right-hander Ryan Castellani, left-hander Zach Logue and outfielder Drew Jackson as “substitute” players. That they’ve been designated Covid-related substitutes will allow the A’s to send all four back to Triple-A without needing to use an option or (in the case of Bethancourt, Castellani and Jackson) pass anyone through waivers. Lastly, the A’s announced that outfielder Luis Barrera, whom they designated for assignment last week, cleared waivers and has been assigned outright to Triple-A Las Vegas. The series of placements on the restricted list quite likely stems from restrictions preventing unvaccinated athletes from traveling into Canada to participate in games there. Many teams will likely make a few placements of this nature in advance of road series against the Jays, at least so long as those regulations remain in place (although the Rangers did not do so prior to traveling to Toronto for last weekend’s opener).
