SEATTLE –- All the talk in spring training was that the A’s would boast a much improved defense.
To this point it’s looking like false advertising, and that’s putting it mildly.
Oakland was at its hideous worst in the field Saturday night, committing a season-high four errors in a 7-2 loss the Mariners at Safeco Field. Three runs scored as a direct result of those errors, and the A’s simply won’t be turning around this poor start to 2015 unless they’re able to tighten things up with the glove.
They’re now 12-20, eight games under .
