I did not get to watch this weekend’s Oakland Athletics series versus the Kansas City Royals and I have not given much attention to the whole beanball debacle. What I did notice, however, was that a team with playoff aspirations — and all the motivation in the world — seemed to lay down and accept defeat from those who didn’t deserve to win.
Call me a homer. Flood my inbox with hate mail. Really say anything you want about my opinions, Royals fans. Kelvin Herrera went out of his way to perpetuate the feud these two teams share, even at the risk of severe bodily injury.
