Happy Wednesday, Athletics Nation!
The A’s are 2-2 since Saturday, which wouldn’t normally be too lamentable. But considering that the team’s starting pitching allowed just two runs in total through those games, it’s a disappointment.
Through these past four games, A’s starters have combined for 27 u2153 innings, 26 strikeouts, six bases on balls, and 13 hits allowed including two home runs. That’s good for a 0.66 ERA and 0.70 WHIP. It’s also worth noting that the bullpen held opponents scoreless in three of these games. With pitching like this, playing .500 ball isn’t up to snuff.
