Jharel Cotton makes his second major league start as the youth movement is in full effect for Oakland.
The Nashville Sounds Oakland A's put on quite the show in Kansas City yesterday, demolishing the Royals to the tune of 16-3. With a 9th inning lineup featuring only one player who has been with the major league club all season (Marcus Semien), the young core of (hopefully) the next great A's team continued to gel as they have done throughout their baseball careers. While the results of this month's games provide a small sample with questionable predictive powers for the future, I think most of us can agree that this iteration of the A's is a lot more interesting to watch than the one with Billy Butler and Jed Lowrie.
