The All Star break is upon us. It seems like a good time to update the fortunes of hapless the Oakland Athletics.
Tragically, they seem to have gotten a little better: they are currently at 25-67, for a .272 winning percentage. If this continues, that would put them at about 118 losses: that’s bad, tending towards historically bad, but not as bad as I’d like to see. (I’m personally rooting for at least 120 losses, if not more.)
Interestingly, Kansas City is only slightly better: 26-65, .286, 115 losses if trends continue.
And Dillon Lawson is out as hitting coach of the New York Yankees.
