Opening Texas series was a draw.

Interesting start to the season. Win one-lose one for 3 rounds then add another loss.

The pitching has looked ridiculously dominant at time, as has the hitting. Noteworthy team stats after 1 week: 2nd in the majors with 43 runs scored, 15th in the majors with only 26 runs allowed (one of the best run differentials in the MLB). 7 unearned run though has us tied with the Brewers for second place in that category, behind only the Yankees. Looks like we might need to tighten up the defense a little bit, but baseball is a marathon and the season is still VERY young.

Yeah, they look pretty good and would look even better if some of those errors hadn't happened.

Up next, former guy A's got in a trade once, Brad Peacock.

Graveman gets his W, and Peacock the L, A's win!

Looking good so far. I am optimistic that Griffin and Parker make an impact this year as well. Could be a good year

Really hoping that this is the year Reddick really improves his average and hits 25+ HR's and drives in 80. If he does this, I really like Oakland's chances

AL West might be off to a slow start, but if we're lucky maybe the whole AL West won't be very good this year and these kids can compete.

2 of 3 from Houston.

Next: Up against a good KC team, let's see how well they can hang against 'em.
Today KC lost to MN. Tommy Milone got the W, and Kurt Suzuki hit a HR, so it's almost like we already beat them.

I hope you're right and he came up with a winner against KC today.

It would have been nice to get this one today with all that went down with KC this weekend, but A's lose and lose this series going 1W-2L with O'Flaherty getting the L.

Sonny Gray looking good today, and the A's hit a ton.
Series with Halos wraps up tomorrow.

Very tough luck for Chavez who gives up 1-hit and still loses, as the A's earn a series split with Los Angleheim.

Could have been a better road trip. Easily 2 more wins (last night & last at KC), 2 less losses would have made it 7 - 3. If someone in the West gets hot, it could be over for the rest. I don't see a WC team coming from here.
