Special Notes:
The curse continues. To date, the Oakland Athletics have not one the final game of a series or a day game. Neither of these are really important stats (if they’re winning all the other games, who cares about series closers and day games?) but they are among the least depressing of the depressing stats. In truth, the A’s are just missing the mark.

Today was the first start for Jesse Chavez following Graveman’s demotion. He wasn’t bad, he wasn’t great and one can easily dismiss his 4 earned runs in 5 innings, coming off of 7 hits as a bit of rust that he’ll overcome in an outing or two. The bullpen, however, failed to do its part, again, and gave up two more runs in the game which led the A’s ninth inning rally a run shy of tying the game.
Canha did his part with 3 RBI’s, bringing his season total to 10 but it wasn’t enough to get the elusive W, series win, series conclusion win, day game win, home game win or any of the other statistical anomalies that are surrounding this team’s stat sheet at the moment.
It is not too early to worry about this team. Their offense is getting it done on most nights but errors on the field and inconsistent pitching from all but two pitchers is making it near impossible to watch the game past the fifth inning. The team, having just concluded a 1-5 homestand, are embarking on a 10 game road trip where they hope to right the ship before it’s too late to contend.
