Baseball's Goats of the Week, #3

Baseball is a long season. Not every day is a good one.

You can see the great plays and the highlights on the news. For your entertainment I've pored the box scores for each game each day to find those ones that make you laugh. Each week I'll report on those players that would have done better to stay home for a day. This week we had a day with no goats but the next day made up for it with a whole team qualifying. There were many guys deserving from other games that day, but when a team loses 20-0, what else is there to do?
