Just when you thought the Oakland A’s lineup couldn’t get any more frustrating to watch, they go and do something like this ... and totally redeem themselves.
The A’s were almost completely silent at the plate for eight innings on Wednesday, but with two outs in the 9th they tied it up, and then in the 10th they walked it off. The 5-4 victory salvaged a series split against the San Diego Padres in their two-game set at the Coliseum.
It’s been a weird couple of days in Oakland. Last night’s game was a trainwreck of bad luck, which the A’s could have won but instead lost in an 8-1 blowout.
