Johnson gotta get out of Oakland. This is sad to watch.

I was at the game sitting in Lower LF. There were some loud boos in that area by a couple of people. It wasn't like JJ got a standing ovation so whatever boos there were stood out. It was like a polite golf clap by most people.

I didn't get the boos myself. We were up 4-1 on about as perfect a weather night as you could have. I have no issue with JJ to boo the man.

Johnson was assigned the scapegoat position for the failings of the 2013 season. In another year or two, fans will have let that go. Right now, just a season later, not so much.

Personally, I'm never going to be able to see the guy pitch again without having awful flashbacks to the 2012 ALDS, where he completely torched us. I was at Game 1, and still have nightmares about it.
