Athletics vs. Phillies Series Preview
The A’s are down in the dumps right now. Losers of nine straight, the longest streak in the majors this season. The club has fallen from as close as one game out of first place to dead last in the AL West in the span of just a couple weeks. Things haven’t been going well for a young team experiencing growing pains together as half of them are in their first full season of being a major league regular. A lot of the blame for this losing streak falls on the shoulders of the bullpen but it’s a team sport and we win and lose as a team. A lot of losing recently but things can change quickly in baseball.
