A’s manager Mark Kotsay makes the a wise but painful choice to remove Mason Miller with a no-hitter after seven innings.
OAKLAND — Manager Mark Kotsay bypassed going for a moment of glory on behalf of rookie starter Mason Miller Tuesday night and the result was predictable agony.
As difficult as it was to take Mason Miller out of the game, Kotsay’s reasoning was sound. He would needed upwards of 125 pitches to actually finish a no-hitter, and with Mason Miller looking every bit the multi-million dollar arm, allowing him to go for it Tim Lincecum style would have amounted to coaching malpractice.
“To be honest, I didn’t know if he was going to let me go out for the seventh because I hadn’t been through six so far,” Mason Miller said. “I think the seventh was my best inning. It was disappointing not to finish it, but that’s kind of on me for having those four walks and not being as much in the zone as I should have been early in the game.
