## Resource

The Athletics are teetering on collapse, scoring just over one run per game in their last four, with injuries mounting and a brutal Yankees series looming. Manager Mark Kotsay must shake up the lineup—maybe promoting Tyler Soderstrom or letting Henry Bolte lead off—to ignite offense. On the mound, using eight pitchers last game is unsustainable; they need better balance, especially with J.T. Ginn on the hill. Bringing in a reliever early could help starters settle in and go deeper, preserving arms for the series. The team’s survival hinges on smarter lineup decisions and smarter pitching management.
