Related Topics: Ross Stripling, Stephen Piscotty

Welcome to Thursday, all! Weekend is just another couple days away everyone.

Yesterday was a forgettable day for new Athletic Ross Stripling as he got touched up by the San Diego Padres. That’s now back-to-back tough games for Stripling, who seemed assured of a rotation role. Would the A’s go back on their supposed promise of a rotation job in favor of someone like Boyle or Estes? His next start will be a big one to keep an eye on, likely early next week.

On the plus side of things, the A’s didn’t let the massive deficit stop them from playing basebal.
