What is conspiring against A’s outfielders doing their jobs defensively?
Sam Fuld isn’t sure, but after he made his second error of the season and the ninth by an A’s outfielder, he threw this gem out, culled perhaps from watching too many old baseball movies.
“Sometimes I think there are like little angels out there, but they’re not helping us,’’ he said with a grin. “We are a pretty good defensive outfield.’’
Maybe so, but the nine outfield errors is the most of any outfield group in the American League. And it’s not close.
Fuld had an easy bead on a routine fly ball hit by Carlos Peguero in the sixth inning Sunday with one out and a man on.
