Sometimes it’s hard not to wonder whether this is actually happening.
I mean, can you imagine if during this past off-season, someone told you that on the 21st of August, Brett Anderson would be pitching for the A’s, not soaking up innings, but throwing like an AL pitcher of the month, the A’s would win their 76th game of the season, have a share of the AL West lead, and that our starting outfield would be made up of Stephen Piscotty, a player we received in exchange for Brandon Bailey, and another that we signed as a minor league free agent.
