It was easy enough to have a divided mind during today’s game. Seattle and Houston were locked in another tight affair, one that saw dramatic lead changes and extra innings. Those extra innings, meaning extra bullpen usage, works out rather conveniently for Oakland, as the A’s are due to play three games against each rival over the next seven days. That stretch could very well be the most crucial of the season, and represents a chance to make a real statement to themselves and the baseball world, as the A’s can completely shake up the standings between now and then.
