It’s that time of year again, Battle of the Bay exhibition time and it begins this year at the Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum. After at least a decade of dealing with it all, I’ve decided to watch the games from home. There is always enough orange and black at games that the San Francisco Giants are not even playing in, that I can’t take the orange and black that will invade Coliseum.
Anyway, we can get into that in the recap but here are the lineups for today’s game:
Oakland Athletics
- Matt Joyce, RF
- Marcus Semien, SS
- Jed Lowrie, 2B
- Khris Davis, DH
- Matt Olson, 1B
- Stephen Piscotty, LF
- Matt Chapman, 3B
- Jonathan Lucroy, C
- Dustin Fowler, CF
San Francisco Giants
- Joe Panik, 2B
- Brandon Belt, 1B
- Buster Posey, C
- Pablo Sandoval, 3B
- Brandon Crawford, SS
- Steven Dugger, CF
- Gorkys Hernandez, LF
- Gregor Blanco, RF
- Nick Hundley, DH
Taking the mound for the Athletics today at the Coliseum will be the team’s anticipated fifth starter, Daniel Gossett.
