I was in attendance for last Wednesday’s game between the Oakland A’s and the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim in Anaheim. The game, which the A’s lost 8-5, came with poor defense and included another injury to a key pitcher, was long and drawn out. However, something wonderful happened!
My dad and I discussed Matt Joyce and I explained that Joyce’s poor stats were the result of bad luck, and that he had actually been hitting the ball hard this year but hasn’t seen the fruits of his labor.
Two chuckleheads sitting behind us provided their expert analysis.
