Episode Details

The A’s are in freefall, losing seven straight including a brutal 14-1 demolition by the White Sox — and they need wins in their final two games to salvage the series. Pitching’s been a disaster, with even rookie Gage Jump struggling and the bullpen stretched thin, using four relievers in one game. They’re counting on Jump and Ginn to go deep, ideally six innings or more. Offensively, with Zack Gelof out and Nick Kurtz possibly joining him, the team needs its best hitters — Joshua Kuroda-Grauer and Jacob Wilson — to step up, maybe even by moving them higher in the lineup. Jacob Lopez showed promise as an opener, and Luis Medina, who’s been lights out in July, is expected to pitch Saturday — they need him to last more than an inning. This team’s got a few key players who could turn things around — but they need pitching and offense to come together fast.
