Orioles vs. Athletics – Week 3 in Challenger Baseball

For those that have been following along and have not pieced all the mysteries together, GoggleQuad has been learning the ropes of assistant coaching in Challenger Baseball. This week he learned not to take phone calls between innings or be prepared for ridicule, flying tomatoes, or what else is not anchored down. It’s a good thing he had his goggles on.

It’s Baseball not a telemarketing seminar, so, I guess he got what was coming to him!!!

It was GoggleQuad’s hopes to get some live updates out during the games this year, however, this is Baseball and there is no time. He will try to get live posts when possible and will continue posting highlights of the games, however, until ESPN starts covering the games, he recommends peeling your butt of the couch, washing the cheese ball stains off your fingers, and coming out to the games on Sunday afternoon (Schedule coming). Some fresh air and sun just might do one some good!



Here we find A’s head coach, Chuck the Chuckster, pitching. Little may know, but GoggleQuad and his team at the Lair of Quadritude have reason to believe, the Chuckster will on occasion pitch a knuckleball, slider, curve, sinker, and even a spitball (I think we should keep an eye out for Vaseline and/or sandpaper that he might be hiding under his hat).







But contrary to what the Chuckster throws, these ball players can hit whatever is tossed at them.









Here the batter gets a hold of one of Chuckster’s Knuckle balls for a single.























This weeks Goggle Play of the Day goes to Shaun of the A’s, with bases loaded, catching the opposing team off guard with a hit up the first base line. After an error throw to first, Shaun heads for second, and then steals third!!! The throw to third was overshot and Shaun comes in for an in the park homerun!!!
