Texas Rangers relief pitcher wearing a Kason Gabbard jersey on the mound

[wesdog82]

Well this is a new one. Darren O'Day just came into the game for Texas. He is so new to the team that he is wearing Kason Gabbard's jersey on the mound. The announcers were pretty confused as to who was pitching!

Does anyone remember a player wearing another players jersey during a game?

Just last week...

everyone wore Jackie Robinson's jersey.

And he quickly gave up a double and Rangers lost in extra innings.

What a bonehead move by Ron Washington. Just saying.

More ridiculous than the jersey was the fact that he came into the game.

Texas' bullpen is that thinned that they needed to get him to the game before he met anyone on his team?

And why does Washington wear his pants up so high?

Kason Gabbard used to pitch for the Red Sox. I wish we still had him, instead of how we traded for Gagne. We got nothing out of that trade.

It was certainly confusing at the stadium -- we assumed the scoreboards made an error and were showing the wrong info; no play-by-play to clear that up for us.

Everyday Eddie wasn't available? He needs a new nickname

Except the World Series title.

I remember a NY Rangers game over decade or so, so I don't remember the player (Nick Kypreos if I had to guess) but he got bloodied and his jersey wasn't usable the rest of the game, so he came back out in a blank jersey with a different number.

Then there's always the Michael Jordan in (I believe) #12 because his #23 was stolen (or something like that).

It's more that under absolutely no circumstances should Eddie be anything other than a loogy anymore.

Did anyone ever explain why O'Day pitched in a Gabbard jersey?

[mania]

He didn't arrive to the stadium until the 10th inning, having been acquired via waivers earlier in the day... as to why the Rangers had a Gabbard jersey laying around, I have no idea.

I wonder if this same thing happened when the couple times in MLB history a player played in a game for two different teams in the same day because of a trade?

There's the whole thing there I guess.

You'd think they could have at least just exacto-knived the namebar off so he doesn't look like an idiot.

Except that the Rangers do not use name plates.

The Red Sox today acquired Gabbard from the Rangers for cash considerations. Recovering from elbow surgery, he's been assigned to Triple-A Pawtucket and will go to extended spring training.

Fair enough, but they still had at least a few hours to take off each letter.

I just think it's pretty bush league, that's all.

Holy crap! What a wild coincidence.

Hey can we get Kyle Snyder back? He was a pretty nice guy!

On an unrelated note, does Alex Ovechkin enjoy golf?
