Oakland Athletics Pitching Crushed, Again
The Oakland Athletics suffered another blowout loss, as they fell to the Mariners 13-3 behind rookie Zach Neal.
Oakland Athletics fans already knew this was not going to be a good night. Comcast announcers Ray Fosse and Glen Kuiper confirmed it when they began musing on which position player might get to pitch, and it was only the seventh inning.
It really was that bad. The A’s ended up losing 13-3.
I have noticed that, sometimes, the A’s look pretty bad the first time through the lineup, and some young pitcher is looking like Satchel Paige (note: the greatest right-handed pitcher of all time, IMHO). Then, when hitters are seeing the pitcher the second time, the bats come alive.
