From Chronicle Staff Writer Susan Slusser at Kauffman Stadium
What a crazy evening, from the whole issue of Brett Lawrie’s text apology to Alcides Escobar (Lawrie says he’s sure he sent one – and got a grumpy response; Escobar says he never got one) to Lawrie taking a 99 mph fastball off his left elbow – and he doesn’t wear an elbow pad.
Lawrie was booed all night, not surprisingly, after taking Escobar out on a hard slide in the seventh inning the night before.
