Can the Athletics Overcome Their One Fatal Slump to Defy Expectations Next Season?

Athletics

They are no longer in Oakland. I mean, they weren’t in Oakland last year either, but this team is still not officially having any town claiming them for now. Eventually, they plan to move to Las Vegas, and that will be pretty cool. Until we get there, the Athletics are building their roster for the first season there, and any success they have prior to that is just gravy for them.

Last year recap:

Geoff Clark is a better baseball future handicapper than I am. There is no debate from me, I believe it, he knows it, and the articles and podcasts prove it. He was all about the A’s last season and thought they would be a pretty solid team. They ended the year 76-86. Before you think I’m putting him on blast – I’m not. They were 20-16 on May 5th after beating Seattle. They were 22-20 on the 13th after beating the Dodgers. Flash forward to June 4th when they were 23-40 after losing 6-1 to the Twins. That’s right, a stretch of 1-20 for the Athletics. 3-24 over 27 games from May 6th to June 5th. Take that stretch out of the season, and they are 73-62. They missed the playoffs, but they were not as bad as the end of the season record showed.
