Catcher Shea Langeliers and pitcher Mason Miller celebrate after getting the last out in a win over the Detroit Tigers on a just-completed road trip.OAKLAND — It’s not so much the three digits on the radar gun that are impressive as the fact that it looks so effortless for Mason Miller.
Miller’s two saves were only part of a road trip that included a three-home run game by catcher Shea Langeliers, a game Wednesday where left-hander J.P. Sears took a no-hitter into the seventh and four straight errorless games after committing an egregious 13 on the first homestand. “Just being able to put a wrap on the game that everybody has worked so hard to get us to that point, getting that `W’ is big,” Miller said. “I came in to spring training knowing the plan. I think we’ve all been on the same page for awhile.”
Langeliers, who caught the ninth inning Wednesday, was asked what it’s like to catch a 104 mph fastball. “We saw the demeanor in him last season and he stayed level-headed and kepet a good frame of mind,” Kotsay said. “It bothers everyone when they don’t have success, but you could tell he was going to work through it and get better. We saw a mentality about him, a level of confidence. Those markers have been checked and he’s gone out there and it’s a blessing he’s gone out there and had success.”
