Fowler admittedly doesn't know anything about A's but excited to learn. "I'm a small town boy. I don't know much about anything."

Today in Baseball History:
- 1907 - Walter “Big Train” Johnson debuts for Washington. He loses 3-2 and gives up a bunt single to Ty Cobb.
- 1921 - A Chicago jury acquits the eight Black Sox. Floyd Mountain Landis still bans all eight players from baseball for life.
- 1982 - Rickey Henderson steals his 100th base of the season for the A’s. He is the first MLB player to have achieved that feat twice.
Best of Twitter:
- He’ll pitch tomorrow in Cleveland...

- Apparently a neck issue, and we hope that’s all.
This is bizarre. Max Scherzer is coming out of this game. Came out to throw warmup pitches, then walked off and said "I can't go."
