Eleven Years Ago Today
A’s.
From the recap:
Jon Lott told us that
Cito spent time with Buck during batting practice, making suggestions. That’s Cito at his best, one on one with a player. I don’t even know if it’s technique. I think it is as likely the calming presence that Cito has and just the feeling you would get that he believed you could do it so you don’t want to let him down. I get the feeling if he told me I could hit I would do it. Well maybe not.
Today in Blue Jays History: Ricky Romero takes no-hitter into the 8th

Eleven Years Ago Today
Ricky Romero took a no-hitter into the 8th inning.
Unfortunately, he gave up a hit in the 8th, a home run. A two-run home run, but we still won.
Didn’t we have the debate about whether Ricky Romero was any good? I think he answered that one. He went 8 innings, allowed one hit, 12 K, 10 ground outs with 2 fly outs. Unfortunately, the one hit was an Alex Rios homer, but such is life. Kevin Gregg pitched the 9th to get the save. He struck out 2 in his perfect inning. He is pitching a lot better than he did last year. I’m not sure what the change is, but I like it.
