It was painful for the faithful fans to watch the Oakland Athletics get swept by the Seattle Mariners. May has not been kind to the A’s so far.
It’s hard to judge how good this A’s team really is. Sometimes the defense is not very good. However, when the defense is working, the starting pitching gets shelled. Then, when the starting pitching is good, the A’s cannot seem to hit. In Wednesday’s game, the A’s bats came alive, but the bullpen failed.
Good teams find a way to win. At this point in the season, the Oakland Athletics seem to be finding ways to lose.
