It's early, long season, anything can happen, yadda yadda yadda but the Stros have a chance these first 10 games to put the A's in a sizable hole.
Gotta say, the way this one started out. I was concerned. Lance couldn't locate squat, was getting visibly frustrated and running up a pitch count. But then Lance settled down. The offense started scoring. And the relief crew was immaculate. Tack on 4 in the 9th, and what began shaky turned into a 9-1 rout. Great win and great start to the season!
A's were probably thinking thank God no Bregman today and Diaz comes in and goes 3 for 5. And probably were thinking thank God they took out Brantley and McCormick comes in and goes 1 for 3. Nice that even the backups were able to contribute.
That is not what I am seeing Oakland A’s off to their worst start in 25 seasons https://www.eastbaytimes.com/2021/04/03/oakland-as-off-to-their-worst-start-in-25-seasons/ A's fall again to Astros as bats are quiet https://www.sfchronicle.com/sports/...gain-to-Astros-as-bats-are-quiet-16075195.php
