The A’s don’t have a defined closer. Jack Perkins has the best stuff for the job, and looks to be the guy they’re relying upon. We talked with Perkins and Hogan Harris about the mentality shift that could define the A’s season.
Rob Manfred should remove the Astros from this season because FIVE A’s were hit this series (no Astros) and Laureano accounted for three of those HBP. After the third one this series, he went off. Manfred is a joke if he comes down hard on the A’s.
Whoa no way. The Giants blocked San Jose and then let the A’s have Sacramento in an effort to get the A’s out of the Bay Area. Giants fans seem to forget that A’s ownership helped keep the Giants here all those years ago judging by my mentions today.
Zack Gelof, who has walked up to Drake all season, has changed his walk-up song to Souls of Mischief's "93 'Til Infinity" for the final homestand in Oakland.
