Oakland A's starter Joey Estes made sure to thank the fans after his stelar performance.
Oakland A's starter Joey Estes was masterful on Wednesday evening, going the distnace in a complete game shutout of the Los Angeles Angels, and needing just 92 pitches to finish it out. Tossing nine innings in under 100 pitches is what is referred to as a "Maddux" after former Atlanta Braves starter Greg Maddux, who did this routinely.
"There was a lot of them tonight. You could just feel the love from all the Oakland fans. It was a great feeling. You could feel every one of those fans out there. They're all rooting and it's a great fan group that we've got. It's been nice to experience the fans here." Last night's game was the third-highest attendance for the season, with Opening Day placing fourth with 13,522 announced fans. The team's average attendance has been just over 7,000 for the year, which is currently on pace to be their lowest mark since 1979.
