With Mason Miller on the mound to close out the Los Angeles Angels, the drama for the game was supposed to be over. The A's led 7-3 when the ninth inning began, but the Angels started off with a walk from Brandon Drury, followed by a two-out RBI double from Nolan Schanuel, and an RBI single from Luis Rengifo that made it 7-5.
Miller started off Taylor Ward with a slider up and in, and after Ward turned away from the pitch, Miller threw another, this time just outside of the zone. Ward turned away again. Then Miller dropped a slider at the bottom of the zone, which Ward made weak contact with on a pitch that went foul. Given the lack of interest from Ward on Miller's slider, the A's closer threw him a final one way out of the zone, down and away, that Ward flailed at for strike three, ending the game.
While fan protests have been a little subdued of late due to one-time A's fans taking an interest in the Oakland Ballers, along with other activities that don't give A's owner John Fisher any of their money, there have been little clips like this that will pop up to remind people that A's fans still care about the team, they're just done with Fisher.Jason is the host of the Locked on A's podcast, and the managing editor of Inside the A's.
