On this Memorial Day, first let us take a moment to honor the men in our country who made the ultimate sacrifice, making an out so that a runner could advance from 1B to 2B. With the season just past the 1/3 mark, some elements of the A’s 2024 roster — at least the small portion of it that is not currently on the IL — are coming into focus.
It’s always both fun and scary to think back to March musings and compare notes. Was I right about who the A’s should or shouldn’t employ, about who should or shouldn’t be afforded an extended opportunity to play?
