For this weekend’s series preview versus the A’s, I spoke with Jason Burke of the Locked on A’s podcast.
After losing some big name players in the off-season, what were the expectations coming into the season and have those changed after the 8-6 start?
The expectations aren’t terribly high for this team in 2022. Honestly, if they avoid losing 100 I’m happy. The year is going to be about finding a group of guys to be part of the next run, and the early returns are showing they may be in decent shape.
The 8-6 start is a small sample, but these guys are playing all 27 outs and putting their all into each game and it’s really fun to watch even with lowered expectations.
