The Oakland A’s walked SEVENTEEN batters in a 17-6 loss to the Mets on Friday night and Dallas Braden is here to update us on what’s going on in Oakland. Cody Bellinger returned to Dodger Stadium over the weekend and was issued a pitch clock violation while soaking in the ovation from Dodger fans. The Rays have finally lost a baseball game to the hands of the Toronto Blue Jays so the Rays talk will be kept to a minimum on this episode! Other topics include Javy Báez getting benched, new names for pitches showing up on broadcasts, the Domingo German sticky stuff situation, Gerrit Cole dealing, and Tatís Jr. hitting home runs in the minors. Enjoy and see you Wednesday!
