Hopefully the A’s just played their two worst games of the year, because if the Eyeball Scout sees much more like Thursday’s and Friday’s efforts he is going to have to go full Oedipus and gouge his eyes out. At least in Oedipus’ case, he got some.
The next time the A’s decide they should try to sneak a high fastball past Alex Bregman, they should increase their chances of success by trying instead to sneak a sunrise past a rooster. But that is just the tip of the epic fail iceberg that was the season’s first 48 hours.
