We knew things would be bad when the A's started two players with an OBP under .300 in the one/two slot in the lineup, and it was as bad as you might imagine. However, maybe I'm looking at this all wrong; actually, they did manage to sandwich four runs around their nineteen strikeouts, so maybe they should get a participation trophy anyway. Gray started the game so well, and like everything else with green and gold, the wheels fell off his performance, too.
It was an ugly game. The full recap will come later...
