It’s hard to believe that sometimes (given all the superstitions about people ignoring them sary to comment on a significant sports story from Wednesday. in the dugout), but on the other hand, if they’re so focused on the game, maybe they truly were clueless. By pure definition, a perfect game in baseball should be rare, right? Instead, such performances are becom- In Hernandez’s case, though, he knew. Doesn’t that put more pressure on him, knowing that literally every pitch Daily opinions from the P&D could break up the no-hitter? I would have to say it did.

  • A's News Clips, Wednesday, May 18, 2011
    A’s News Clips, Wednesday, May 18, 2011 Oakland A's pound Los Angeles Angels 14-0 By Joe Stiglich, Oakland Tribune Mark Ellis has endured a season-long struggle with the bat. Then how to explain a night such as Tuesday? It all came so easily for Ellis and his A's teammates in a 14-0 stomping of the Los Angeles Angels. The run total was a season high, as was their 15 hits. The A's swept the two-game series and moved into a first-place tie with the Texas Rangers in the American League West. It's the first time the A's have occupied first since June 3 last season, when they also were deadlocked with Texas. Leading the hit parade was Ellis, the second baseman who has shined defensively but has been the invisible man in the batter's box. Sure, he collected three hits Sunday against the Chicago White Sox, but one was a bloop job and another was an infield single. And he did bring home Monday's winning run against the Angels with a fielder's-choice grounder. But he hit the ball with authority Tuesday, finishing 3 for 4 with a season-high four RBIs. That lifted his average from .194 to .210. Ellis was happiest to deliver with runners on base. "I really pride myself on doing good in that situation, and I haven't done that this year," he said. "It's nice to get a couple hits with guys in scoring position." Ellis smoked a run-scoring double off the left-field wall in the A's three-run second.
