MLB news roundup
Happy Monday, Athletics Nation!
And greetings from Ojai. Since I’m on the road, I’ll get straight to it: here’s your news from the weekend. Tony Kemp went wild as the A’s won big for Dave Stewart on the day his number was retired. It was a nice start in helping us forget some of the awful baseball that took place on Friday and Saturday.
Have a wonderful week, AN
Just a couple of legends.

Pinder praise.
Chad Pinder on Dave Stewart: “He’s come to Spring Training and spoken every year since I’ve been here. They talk about how fierce he was and you feel that energy when he speaks about the game. He’s an awesome human being and I couldn’t be happier. .. Stew is an Oakland legend.”

Cyr’s grandpa taught him all about the stinkeye.
Reliever Tyler Cyr (Fremont) said his grandpa used to reference Dave Stewart "in talking about pitchers that had that look in their eye - guys that instilled fear in the hitter before they threw the first pitch." Cyr finished today's A's win and said his grandpa was at the game.
