The Oakland A’s lineup is stacked, with star potential at virtually every position. What’s more, they’ve started to come alive lately after some early rust, averaging six runs apiece over their last five games.
Matt Olson is hitting dingers. Mark Canha is getting on base and driving in runs. Matt Chapman, Robbie Grossman, Stephen Piscotty, and Austin Allen have all blasted clutch homers to tie or win games since Tuesday, and Marcus Semien just notched a walk-off hit. Ramon Laureano seems to be the hero every other day, and Khris Davis is finally showing signs of breaking his long funk.
