I was going to say something sarcastic and snide about the linked piece at Swingin' A's arguing that, compared to past teams that responded to fightin' words by winning games, this team lacks fight, essentially because it lost Sunday. I've decided not to be snide and instead say: this is completely dumb. Eric O'Flaherty didn't pitch well and the A's failed to score for many innings before Kelvin Herrera's egregious actions. This has nothing to do with fight.
