It’s the weekend, Athletics Nation!
We’re nearing the end of the month, with the A’s once again playing with even wins and losses over their last ten games, though starting the month with a nine game skid of losses dropped their winning percentage well below .500. The biggest contribution to a 7-13 May as of Friday afternoon is an absolute dearth of hitting across the lineup.
As a team through May 19th, the A’s have hit below the Mendoza line with a .198 average. With a .270 OBP and .323 slugging, the Athletics have sat at the bottom of the league, beneath even the Detroit Tigers who the A’s managed to take four out of five games from during the month.
