Let’s talk about foreshadowing.
In the early innings of tonight’s 9-5 loss to the Oakland A’s, Matt Underwood and Rick Manning took time to interview former Cleveland reliever Tony Sipp. If you missed it because you were listening to Tom Hamilton or watching the A’s broadcast or something, I highly recommend going back and watching. It was a great interview with a great guy.
Anyway, at one point in the discussion, Sipp talked about how hard it can be for a pitcher to get that third out following a two-out error on defense. Sometimes pitchers, especially young ones, might mentally breathe a sigh of relief and suddenly they have to find a way to “lock back in” and get the out.
