It means there will be six more weeks of lockout (at least). Actually that is about my (wild) guess. Players report to spring training on March 15, season opens on April 15, lost games are just wiped out rather than rescheduled (so the A’s would lose 7 at home, 4 LAA and 3 DET, and ...

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 ...
