The A’s have been playing some better baseball lately, and slowly but surely the roster is improving. Baby steps but steps nonetheless, as Oakland completes a 4-2 homestand with the highs of sweeping the Angels and putting up 19 runs on the Orioles Saturday.
Here are some observations from the Eyeball Scout as we approach the All-Star break (congratulations Mason Miller!)...
Mitch Spence
Spence has been, overall, one of the A’s better starting pitchers but he has had the annoying tendency to give up a lot of his runs on one bad pitch. In Anaheim it was a Mickey Moniak grand slam and Sunday it was a 3-run HR by Heston Kjerstad.
