The A's drop their fifth straight as the Mariners win the series finale, 3-2. Is it April yet?
The outcome wasn't pretty, but there were some positives from today's loss.
The story of the day is obviously Sean Nolin, one of four players acquired in the Josh Donaldson trade. Nolin is a big lefty with a variety of pitches. In spite of his size, he is not overpowering and relies on his ability to mix speeds, locations, and hit spots.
Today, he was pretty much as advertised. He did a great job keeping the ball down, missing locations just a few times.
