Welcome back to The Weekly Bernie! It’s the best dance in the game, so let’s get rolling once more!
- On Sunday, the A’s officially optioned both righty Jesse Hahn and catcher Bruce Maxwell to Triple-A. Hahn gave up seven runs (five earned) over 3.1 innings in his start on Saturday against the Dodgers. He walked two, struck out four, and gave up two home runs. Overall, his spring ERA sat at 8.80 over 15.1 innings pitched. Hahn has been nothing short of frustrating during his time with the Athletics, as his potential is obvious but he lacks any consistency.
