The Oakland Athletics played their last home stand of 2015, and only a handful of away games remain. Do you remember all of the promise the A’s showed us over the last few years? It was a great time to see the Swingin’ A’s play in Oakland. Both the pitching and offense were consistently good, and rising stars drew thousands of fans to the ballpark. However, that’s in the past along with the nightmare of the 2015 season.
It’s times like these that make A’s fans hate the “moneyball” strategy. We go through the same old story way too often, but this year brought awful stinging pains.
