The Athletics take their sparking 15-20 road record to Kansas City. Fri, 5:10 PDT: Greinke vs. Irvin Sat 1:10 PDT: Keller vs. Koenig Sun 11:10 PDT: Singer vs. Kaprielian
Games 41-43, which means we are already a quarter of the way through this furshlugginer season. They are doing camo cosplay for some reason. F: Silseth/Blackburn Sa: Lorenzen/Montas Su: Sandoval/TBA (Cole Irvin will be back in the rotation at some point, but it has not been announced when)
The A’s take their 6-game losing streak to Minnesota. F: Logue vs. Josh WInder Sa: Kaprielian vs. Chris Paddack Sonny Gray (11:10 AM) Su: Jefferies vs. Joe Ryan Chris Paddack (11:10 AM)
Syndergaard is an Angel, on a 1-year deal. That’s a lot of money for a guy who has pitched 2 innings in the last 2 years. Renato Nunez is a Ham Fighter. (Yeah, yeah, I know.) Jon Gruden is an asshole. Rhesus macaques
Two batters, and two “and nobody’s gonna get it” calls into the game, it feels like it might be a long night. Liam Hendriks is back in town. We may see him if the A’s can keep a game close enough. T: Kaprielian vs. Jimmy Lambert W: Montas vs. Keuchel Th (day): Manaea vs. Reynaldo ...
Oakland heads to the shed for the last series before the break. Irvin vs. Jordan Lyles, Fri 5:05 Kaprielian vs. Foltynewicz, Sat 1:05 Bassitt vs. Kolby Allard, Sun 11:35 We miss Kyle Gibson again, but Allard is also having a good year, and Foltynewicz has had two good starts against us.
The A’s are 7-0 after an off day. The dbacks have a 5-game losing streak. Chris Bassitt is 5-0 over his last 10 starts. Don’t FK this up. T: Bassitt vs. Jon Duplantier (RHP) W day: Manaea vs. Matt Peacock (RHP)
After slipping into second place, the A’s finally start playing some of the lesser division opponents. I don’t know who any of their outfielders are. Rendon, Walsh, and Ohtani are good. Fletcher will somehow get 5 hits in 4 at-bats every day, but at least Scioscia is batting him 9th today. But it’s the pitching ...
