Show Notes
The Oakland Athletics struggled in their season opener, losing all three games to the Blue Jays, including a 5-2 loss on Sunday. Their highly anticipated offense, expected to be a top-five lineup, failed to deliver, striking out a record 50 times in the series. Shea Langeliers was the only bright spot, with six hits and three homers. The teams manager and players attributed the poor performance to facing elite pitchers and young hitters pressing too hard. While strikeouts are part of the As style, the lack of production is a concern. However, the teams starting pitching kept games close, and they nearly stole a couple of wins. The As will need to find their groove quickly, as they face tough opponents in the coming weeks.
