Hello and welcome to the In The Pen podcast, a podcast about relievers part of the

Pitcherless Podcast Network.

My name is Jake Crumpler.

And as always, I'm joined by pitcherless bullpen expert, Rick Graham.

And Rick, I purposefully withheld this information. I went to the A's game today.

Oh.

Yeah. Somewhat embarrassingly as well. I was in left field and the bleachers, did not wear sunscreen.

Very terrible game for a long time. Like seven innings, it was four to zero. The A's were just

playing awful defense and the rockies

were winning and then uh you know i'm in left field and the bleachers there are zero clouds in the

sky the whole day so my arms are getting very sunburn i'm like ready to go i'm also like with my

great step-ant um so uh i won't elaborate on that any further.

Just in case she's listening.

But anyway, we stayed until like the top of the 11th where the Rockies took a four-run

lead.

And I was like, all right, let's get out of here.

Like I got stuff to do.

I'm trying to get out of here. We've been stuff to do. I'm trying to get out of here.

We've been here for hours sitting, baking in the sun.

And they came back.

Right.

Five runs in the bottom of the 11th.
