Happy Tuesday, all!
An awesome weekend series was followed up last night with a loss to the AL West-leading Texas Rangers. It was a close 5-3 defeat that saw the A’s give up five unanswered runs. Wins at this point of the season don’t matter but there is one goal the club could use for motivation in these final weeks.
The early part of the season, when the A’s were historically struggling, saw Oakland on pace to match or exceed the worst record in modern MLB history, the 1962 New York Mets who had a 40-120 record.
