The problem goes far deeper than that. The scouting is beyond piss poor. That's even with their major league scouts. Even Stone mentioned there's no consistency in the minors. Not sure why Katz has a job either.
Plus this organization is just cursed.
Amazed that it's possible that most expensive pen is also the worst
Outside of hardheadedness I can't see why there's a reason to be a fan of this team anymore. Are A's fan more miserable?
