I follow the Red Sox, A’s and Giants in this year long tally.
Those three teams combined for one run on the 4th of July, 2014.
Not much in terms of fireworks. Now to be fair, the Red Sox had an excuse. Their game was washed out.
The Giants? No so much. Once again a great pitching performance by the team was squandered and the lowly Padres beat them 2-0.
And the A’s and Blue Jays couldn’t score until Oakland walked off with the only run.
Not a lot of offense. But a collective record of 1-1-1 for the day,
Time to update the Dodged Bullet/Teeth Grinder tally.
An explanation of what this is all about can be found HERE.
A’S DODGED BULLET – TEETH GRINDER Tally
The game was scoreless until the 12th when Nick Punto’s double scored Derek Norris to give the A’s a 1-0 win over Toronto. DODGED BULLET
33 Dodged Bullets 26 Teeth Grinders
TOTAL: +7
GIANTS DODGED BULLET – TEETH GRINDER Tally
Another Matt Cain performance was wasted by the Giants dead bats and San Diego prevailed, 2-0. TEETH GRINDER
33 Dodged Bullets 28 Teeth Grinders
TOTAL: + 5
RED SOX DODGED BULLET – TEETH GRINDER Tally
28 Dodged Bullets 34 Teeth Grinders
TOTAL: -6
The 3 teams combine for 4 games tomorrow. Let’s see if they can double the offensive output.
