The A's pitching is not even fair...

<< < (2/2)

Halu Sination:
Royals won 3 of 4 games against the A's. Incredible...

A's have the best 1-5 rotation by far, but Tigers and Dodgers have a better 1-3, which will matter a lot more come play-offs time. With Beckett (Dodgers' #4) most likely done for the year, I think Tigers have the scariest overall rotation in MLB. Price, Scherzer, Anibal, Porcello... will Verlander even be pitching in the play-offs? lol

On paper yes, but injuries have forced them to resort to the likes of Robbie Ray and Buck Farmer.

According to a few insider reports, the A's decided to move Cespedes because they weren't confident that they could resign him (Cespedes becomes a free agent after the 2015 season and will command a hefty salary). So they moved him for a guy who they definitely won't be able to resign but will be a bigger asset in the playoffs (flags fly forever).

Thanks to the wild card the Yankees managed to make the postseason in almost every year of Derek Jeter's career. Be grateful Hack.

Yep.. 3 of 4... (the one loss being the Lester vs. Guthrie matchup).... we are shocked even here in Kansas City.  It's the power of SungWooLee the superfan from South Korea who was hosted by twitter followers in the city and ended up throwing out the first pitch of the series, and hanging with the likes of George Brett and Billy Butler at BBQ joints around the city.....

...Not only 3 of 4 from the A's but the Royals actually got 5 of 7 from the A's, as the Royals won 2 of 3 in Oakland earlier in August as well (becoming only the second team to win a series in Oakland all year).

ROYALS ARE ON FIRE!!!  BACK IN FIRST PLACE AHEAD OF THE TIGERS NOW!!
