Ample Positives Amidst The 6-10 Start

If it weren’t for starts by pitchers whose names begin with “G” (I’m looking at you, Raveman and Ossett), who knows how the season might be going? Overall there have been plenty of disappointments, from losing games in which the team scored 8 and 9 runs, to failing to win any of the first 5 series, to outfield defense and middle relief that has left something to be desired.

All that explains 10 losses in the team’s first 16 games, but there have been positives too. Anyone who thinks the A’s aren’t worth watching isn’t, well, watching. Or perhaps just doesn’t appreciate the great baseball that can take place in between doing “just enough to lose”.
