Radke's Report
My request was fulfilled and we managed to have a winning week raising our record to 2 games under .500 and only a game and a half back in the division. Notable offensive performers were Josh Reddick and Steven Moya, who both hit at a clip above .300, .346 and .313 respectively. They combined for 2 HR's and 7 runs driven in. I asked Reddick about how he was feeling and he said, "Yeah im feeling great. I didn't know how comfortably Id be able to swing, but there is no pain, and I have been able to get bat on ball and im just glad to help the team out". On the pitching side of things, our middle relievers are a bit jittery, so hoping that all evens out especially with newly acquired Trevor Rosenthal, which will hopefully strengthen our bullpen.


A's News

The A's acquired 2B Kolten Wong and CL Trevor Rosenthal from the St Louis Cardinals for SS Marcus Semien and RP Eric O'Flaherty.
