The Oakland A’s have gotten hot at the right time. After going 17-9 in August, they’re 3-1 in September and coming off a series sweep of the Los Angeles Angels. Now, with the rebuilding Detroit Tigers coming to town for 3 games, plus the completion of the suspended May 19 game, the A’s have a good chance to stay hot and keep pace in a tight AL Wild Card race.
At 41-97, Detroit has been pretty bad, but there’s more to even the worst teams than just their record. To find out more about the Tigers, I asked Ashley MacLennan of Bless You Boys a few questions about the visiting team and some of its talent, young and old.
