The Oakland Athletics are winning. Once again living up to the story line we’ve all grown accustomed to seeing. Stop me if you’ve heard this one before.
Despite one of the lowest payrolls in baseball, the A’s are finding a way to compete.
The competing part is wonderful. The winning part, divine. It’s the lowest payroll part that leaves A’s fans wildly conflicted, although it’s certainly easier to swallow this season.
With a low-budget team built on launch angles and fly balls, this current group of misfits (a commonly used misnomer Oakland baseball could do without), are putting together one of the more remarkable summers we’ve seen in recent history.
