wegner 4,000 Posted September 7, 2021 Wow, I just checked the wild card standings. I knew Oakland had been struggling but did not realize they had fallen a 1/2 game back of both Toronto and Seattle. Let's keep them down and win this series. Interesting to see if Toronto can make a run at Boston/NY. And if Seattle wants to go nuts and sneak in...ok.

I'll be happy with just 1 win this series given our history in Oakland and who we're throwing out there as starters. The A's are coming off an abysmal series in Toronto though. Lou Trivino singlehandedly blew 3 games for them recently. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pcq 1,100 Posted September 7, 2021 We don't know yet if Lambert is starting I guess. I assume we will see him. The pitching well in the minors seems a bit dry. Mike Wright also due for a visit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
