Thomas Jefferson once said, "If I am to meet with a disappointment, the sooner I know it, the more of life I shall have to wear it off."
The A's were sailing for much of today's game. Thanks to a Khris Davis double and a pair of productive outs from Yonder Alonso and Ryon Healy, the A's grabbed a 1-0 lead in the second. And with the way Sonny Gray was dealing, you almost thought that would be enough.
Sonny Gray was excellent; he was even better than his line indicates. Save three batters, he pitched as well as any of our starters have this season.
