The Buck Stops at Second
Travis Buck drives in all three Oakland Athletics runs as the A's take the game against Toronto in twelve innings, 3-2. Buck's doubles give him six on the season.
For his career, Buck averages a double every 11.5 at bats. That would be 52 in a 600 at bat season. Given that he's still young and should be improving, we might see 60 doubles from Travis someday.

It seemed like he was just picking up the pitch and dropping it between the outfielders.
Brandon League didn't help much... 32 pitches, 32 fastballs (inc a IBB)... he was fine for the first inning but forgot where the plate was in his 2nd inning. Gibbons should have gone to a rested Scott Downs who could have gone 2 innings. The Jays had a team LOB of 30.
