The Rockies put themselves in a bad place with a roster that left them little room for creativity.
In a scoreless game in the bottom of the second, Billy Butler led off with a triple against Rockies starter Chad Bettis. Yes, Billy Butler, the guy nicknamed "Country Breakfast," hit a triple. Don't believe me? See for yourself:
That's Rafael Ynoa out there in left field, not catching the ball, crashing into the wall and hurting himself. That triple was not the only play Ynoa failed to make in left field against Oakland, at least two of which led directly to A's runs.
