I just got home and checked the score lol I would not have imagined this. I bet the game threads were EPIC.
Small Sample Size
One game is a REALLY small sample size, but boy, this team looked dominant tonight. Great hitting, great starting and relief pitching, great defense (not only the CarGo catch, but also that amazing bounce-out throw from Eric Chavez) against a good team and their ace in their own ballpark.
Right now the A’s have two .300 hitters in the line-up, plus Ellis and Barton are both hot right now, Cust is among the OBP league leaders, and Big Hurt is still out. The entire bullpen looks pretty invincible.
I don’t know about the rest of AN, but this really could be a playoff team. I’m starting to believe.
Impressive!
