Welcome to the second installment of the 2021 Bay Bridge Series! The San Francisco Giants won two of three games at Oracle Park in June, and now the Oakland A’s will have a chance to respond in a three-game series at the Coliseum.
It feels like everything has gone wrong for the A’s this season, and to make it even worse, the Giants weren’t supposed to be good but somehow have the best record in the majors. They signed a bunch of unexciting free agents who all immediately morphed into stars, and their aging core of mid-30s veterans are all turning in career-best performances.
