## Resource

The Athletics’ playoff dreams are slipping away as they plummet below .500 after another crushing loss to the Angels, despite J.T. Ginn’s best efforts. Their pitching staff remains their Achilles’ heel—especially Scott Barlow’s disastrous outing—and with the trade deadline looming, it’s time for bold moves. Ginn and Gage Jump are the only bright spots in a shaky rotation, but without reinforcements, especially in the bullpen, this team risks another disappointing season. They have the talent—but only if they act fast to fix what’s broken. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
