Man, for a pitcher, I just love this guy’s name.
Josh Outman pitched his first start today for Oakland (he had appeared in two games earlier). And at least for today, his name fit. In his first career start (against the Rangers) he allowed only one run, four hits, struck out three and walked two.
Oh, and he recorded 15 outs, man
Pitchers (past and present) whose names did NOT inspire confidence:
Bob Walk
Homer Bailey
Grant Balfour
Bruce Hitt
and I know it’s part of his nickname but I can’t ignore
Hugh "Losing Pitcher" Mulcahy
…any others?
