Stuck in neutral. Losing by 2 last night pulls things in the wrong direction. Compounding things, a 12-man IL is starting to matter.

Athletics News
Despite a valiant effort to complete a four-game sweep, the Athletics fell short against the Seattle Mariners, losing 2-0 in the series finale. Bryan Woo's dominant performance kept the A's offense in check, underscoring the persistent struggles at the plate. Gage Jump, attempting to rebound from a weak outing, showed promise but was ultimately frustrated by a rough inning that allowed the Mariners to clinch a much-needed win. While the A's have played spoiler effectively this weekend, winning three out of four, their inability to capitalize on momentum reveals the challenges that lie ahead. With a record of 57-86, the focus now shifts to fine-tuning their promising young talent like Jump, as they look to build on the positives from this series.
