The A’s formally introduced that they’ve chosen left-handed pitcher A.J. Puk from Triple-A Las Vegas on Tuesday to start the three-game collection in opposition to the Yankees.
Puk is the group’s No. 2 total prospect and the debut is one many have been ready for.
A few of us are enthusiastic about what we’ll get to see from the 6-foot-7-framed southpaw, however others are simply excited to make use of his names in puns — and never only for apparent causes.
The San Jose Sharks had some enjoyable on Twitter doing a little gentle trolling in direction of the A’s upon Puk’s imminent debut:
Did somebody say puck?? In AUGUST???

And what number of hockey “Puks” would that body be? The A’s are curious …
YUP.
Math time: A.J. 6′ 7″. What number of hockey pucks tall is Puk?— Oakland A’s (@Athletics) August 20, 2019
And the Sharks graciously answered.

We were told there would be no math.
But if you insist… A.J. is 26.33333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333 pucks tall.

Nicely, now we all know. The Bay Space groups proceed to be masterful of their social media antics.
