TORONTO - Jaycob Brugman initially was in Oakland’s lineup Tuesday, but he was scratched with neck soreness and replaced in center by Rajai Davis.
“I just woke up and couldn’t move it,” Brugman said. “Really uncomfortable, like a pinched neck.”
Was it a bad hotel bed, maybe a bad pillow? “I’ve never had this before and I’ve stayed at a lot of hotels - and lot of bad hotels, too,” the rookie said. Suffice to say, the A’s hotel is not a bad one.
Perhaps the artificial turf at Rogers Centre is to blame?
