On Billy Burns, contact hitting, and the A's hitting philosophy

On Friday night, the A's squeezed out a nice little win over the idiot Angels. Kendall Graveman pitched a gem, Khris Davis hit a dinger, the A's pen couldn't hold the lead but the A's offense bailed out the bullpen in the bottom of the ninth. It was a nice, fun little win capped by a Billy Burns walk-off single.

After the game, A's broadcasters Ray Fosse and Glenn Kuiper bantered some on Burns' 2016, as a Gatorade bath rendered the typical awkward post game interview impossible. Fosse may not have the same level of access to a functioning brain the rest of us do, but he presumably has more access to the A's clubhouse than the average fan.
