The wheels have undeniably fallen off for the Oakland Athletics. Look at Twitter over the last couple of days: it’s all doom and gloom for a team that watched their unbeaten streak over the last 11 series come to a close.
After watching our team win 27 out of 34 games, this two-game stretch feels like a punch in the gut, doesn’t it? Where did we go wrong? How could this happen? Is it time to push the panic button?
No. Absolutely not. This is baseball. It’s a grueling 162-game schedule played out over six months full of peaks and valleys.
