“I had no idea what was going on. It just got loud,” Giants pitcher Alex Cobb said.
A’s outfielder Cody Thomas led off the top of the fifth against Giants starter Alex Cobb. While the protest plan was for fans to remain silent throughout Thomas’ at-bat and begin the chants once he was done, the chants picked up after the first pitch of the fifth inning.” in Oakland, Giants starting pitcher Alex Cobb couldn’t hear his PitchCom — but unlike A’s pitcher Hogan Harris, who stopped the game to check his, Cobb kept pitching.
Thomas said it isn’t the loudest environment he’s ever played in — a former two-sport star at Oklahoma, he mentioned the Sooners’ 2015 football game at the University of Tennessee’s Neyland Stadium as an example — but he definitely heard the chants, which he said was “wild” to experience at the plate.
“I know coming in here, everyone said it was going to be back and going to be loud and I feel like that’s what it was tonight,” Thomas said. “It was a great atmosphere.” Between playing and coaching, this is A’s manager Mark Kotsay’s 12th season with Oakland. So he knows that these Bay Bridge games matter that little bit more to fans.
