Happy Monday, Athletics Nation! A very feliz Cinco de Mayo, as well.
Today, the A’s return to Sacramento looking to do damage against the AL West leading Seattle Mariners. The A’s have played very well since mid-April and are now in second place behind the Mariners, so there’s much for A’s fans to celebrate at the moment.
But if you’re a worrywart, you might still be in shock from Saturday’s disastrous finish from Mason Miller; that’s not a good state of mind in which to calmly regard the very brutal stretch the A’s have ahead of them this month: their next three series are against current division leaders.
