Swarm Hurler Hoover Tosses Masterpiece Monday, July 21st, 2042 The Tampa Bay Swarm shut out the Philadelphia Athletics 10-0 today behind the strong pitching of Craig Hoover. Hoover surrendered only 2 hits in recording the complete-game victory, and struck out 4. Following the last out, Hoover appeared to celebrate a little too boisterously for Philadelphia manager Carlos Uribe, who could be seen scolding the famously outspoken left-hander as the clubs left the field. Hoover's own manager then intervened with some words for his counterpart. The Athletics skipper would not comment on the exchange, but at the Swarm press conference, Hoover confirmed that it was regarding the celebration. "He basically told me I was being a lousy winner," Hoover said. "And I told him he was being a lousy loser," Tampa Bay manager Soh Suzuki added. This season Hoover has no saves in no relief appearances with a 2-4 record and 5.81 ERA. View Boxscore View Game Log |
