Padres fans began calling Paddack “the Sheriff” in Spring Training 2019 as an ode to his Texas roots and his cowboy hat and boots he wears on start days...the nickname took off when the Austin, TX native made his debut with the Padres by starting Game 4 of the 2019 season...Padres fans began wearing cowboy hats to his starts and badges with “Paddack’s Posse” inscribed on them...had 40-plus family members and friends in attendance for his ML debut.

Thanks. My son lives in Austin and you can find a lot of barbecue, but not many cowboy hats.

Detroit  is now in  2nd           Anyone else keep losing the Ballys feed ?  way behind

Castro … that’s what a real swinging strike out looks like

Hope Stewart gets the 9th

 

Here he comes.  I stayed awake for this...

[Squirrel]

Here comes Brock …

Stewart, not Beauchamp

[stringer bell]

It will cap off a really good day if Stewart has a good inning.

A month ago I would have asked how was his curve ball.

[Jocko87]

Stewart needs a runner on base to really feel alive anyway.

[Squirrel]

I really like those uniforms, like really, really

It's not cream, it's vanilla.

[PDX Twin]

And the A's pick up 7 strikeouts on the league-leading Twins. We really have to keep up our pace!

[Squirrel]

Good inning there. Feeling much better about our BP going into the playoffs than I have at any time this season

Well, I like both so it’s all good :)

[Mortimerkenny21]

Winner!

[Parfigliano]

Smooth machine tonight

[Unwinder]

Hold your heads high, A's, Moneyball is a better movie than Little Big League an nobody can take that away from you.

[MMMordabito]

Very encouraging game.  Good to see Castro, Stewart and Paddack back on the field.

Might be some tough choices for the playoff roster.

I was paraphrasing the quote from "The Brave One', referring to the wedding invitations. LOL

Playing a lot like 'Green Machine'

[IndyTwinsFan]

A never in doubt win is always a good win, even when it's against a team like Oakland.  Haven't had a large number of them this season.
