Greetings, Athletics Nation!
I hope you are having a fine Memorial Day. Let’s see if the A’s can get a little streak started today with ace Paul Blackburn on the mound to open the series against the Houston Astros today.
It’s been a good weekend for A’s veteran Jed Lowrie. Yesterday, he hit the game-winning shot in the A’s 6-5 walk-off win against Texas, saving his club from being swept at home for the third time this season. On Saturday, Lowrie spoke with John Shea of the San Francisco Chronicle about his feelings on the art of switch-hitting in a post-shift game.
