When all healthy, Bader, Buxton, Larnach, Wallner, and Castro. Who do you leave out of the lineup. Do we want Wallner to sit everytime there's a lefty on the mound? Good dilemma to have I guess.
RHP Justin Sterner will in fact be the Athletics starter for tonight. So bulpen games for the A's and then Springs will follow him. This team is doing anything they can to get a W. They have lost 19 out of 20. Good god.
It's possible against a terrible Athletics team? I've never seen a team in such shambles pitching-wise, so much that they have been undecided three out of four games for starting pitchers.
Yes, like scary bad. With the Rockies winning again tonight, they gain another game on the White Sox for the battle for the 1st pick, only eight games back now.
To be totally honest, Alcala has the stuff to be a good reliever. He has a live fastball, and good break on his offspeed stuff, but he can never locate, and throws behind in the count too much.
Here's the title of one of their recent articles on Athletics Nation lol.

Well the Twins just got 2 runs off the best pitcher the Athletics can throw at them. What a mess they are, about to be 19 losses in their last 20 games. Yikes.
