So you know what’s exciting? The seesaw battle between the Rangers and Angels tonight, as the Rangers finally bested the Angels 10-9. Good baseball? No. Exciting? Sure, probably! But literally watching paint dry is more exciting than the 2017 Oakland Athletics this week as they lost a nail-biter tonight 3-2. Okay, it wasn’t a nail-biter. It wasn’t even exciting. Well, maybe the first inning, as the A’s scored their two runs. If you saw that, you saw the WHOLE ENTIRE GAME! The eight subsequent innings were just giant piles and piles of zeros.
That’s not fair exactly; aside from a few rough batters, Sean Manaea looked more promising of late; he seemed to be throwing harder, even if he only struck out three batters.
