Happy Monday, Athletics Nation!
There was plenty of A’s baseball to be had over the weekend, but if you watched every moment you must be masochistic. The A’s got swept yet again, this time by the Royals in Kansas City. The Royals scored in the first inning of all three games, leaving the A’s offense with a daily uphill struggle of which they could not avail themselves.
The A’s beat the Mariners in the second game of their just-concluded road trip, sparing them from a complete ten game sweep through three series. Now on an eight-game skid, the team is faring so poorly that turning our attention back to the franchise’s relocation drama is almost a welcome distraction.
