Yay! Baseball!
The A’s dropped their spring opener to the Colorado Rockies by a final of 5-1. Not the most exciting game ever. But is the first game of spring ever?
Oakland began the season with a pair of rookies on the mound. First, Joe Boyle got the start and pitched the first two frames, looking good while allowing just one single. Better yet, he showed off some swing and miss stuff by racking up a trio of strikeouts in his two innings of work. Boyle is facing a bit of an uphill battle to claim a role in the season-opening rotation but he got off to a great start to his spring today.
