Oh Dear!

Athletic pitching has taken a turn for the worse since my post on their team pitching staff's ERA+ of 138 on June 11th. After last night's games they come in at 115, second in the American League behind the Red Sox's 119.

The Athletics were six games above .500 at the time I blogged that post. Now they sit at four games under .500. Still, based on their aughts history I can't count out a second-half surge for the club until at least August rolls around.
