Getting swept is no fun. Getting swept after the team was in a good position to win the last two games in the final innings only to see the bullpen hemorrhage the victory away is frustrating. The sweep in Texas proved to be yet another example of what has proven to be a season-long issue to date for the A’s- the team cannot find its footing and play consistent, good baseball on the road. The A’s are a respectable 11-8 at home on the year, but are an MLB worst 5-13 outside the comfy confines of home. While most every team plays better at home than on the road, the A’s are practically automatic wins for the opposition when not at Rickey Henderson Field.
