If Treinen and Trivino can keep it up. And Edwin Jackson! I think Trevor Cahill is a legit starter, don't know why other teams didn't want him this year.

i was really confused this morning when the radio guys mentioned Cahill and Brett Anderson, like did i just go back in time???

2 behind NYY, close as they've been all year? With Manaea gone, they could really use that WC game in the Alameda Toilet Bowl.

Sleepy:
The A's lead all of baseball in position player WAR. What a world.
Jeff Sullivan:
In the second half they have a wRC+ of 121. No one else is above 110
It's been quiet, but the discovery of Ramon Laureano and the understandable turnaround of Stephen Piscotty have been enormous
It's no fun to analyze a situation like Piscotty's, since he's been through more than most people could imagine, but holy hell has he ever been good

One behind the Evils. Pretty good for a team with no starting rotation.

you don't see position players pitching in September too often, especially in the 7th inning

Lost their first game when leading after 7 of the year last night, and it likely sank their shot at hosting the WC game.

The A's have a .273 OBP. No team has had a sub.-280 OBP since 1965, just one has done so since 1910.— Joe Sheehan (@joe_sheehan) June 29, 2022
