The Oakland A’s rotation has been quite a story this season. Their extensive list of injuries is well-chronicled, as is the fact that they’ve called on 13 different pitchers to start throughout the year, but the amazing part is that they’ve been totally decent despite all the adversity. They had every right to be terrible but instead they’ve hung around the middle of the MLB pack, which has opened the door for the lineup and bullpen to power the team into contention.
Things have gotten even weirder in August. The rotation isn’t just holding its own, but rather thriving over the last two weeks.
