Braxton Ashcraft has nine tickets taped to his locker stall to represent his nine strikeouts -- or nine tickets he punched -- against the Cubs yesterday. Mason Montgomery and YohanRamirez have two apiece.
Each ticket has the name of the player that struck out, along with the count and pitch type for strike three. I’ve learned that this was Bill Murphy’s idea. Ashcraft appears to like the “Ticket Master” nickname for Murphy.
