The A's have had a rough week, good to see Beane step up.

i like this move. diekman's k/bb ratio is excellent and he doesn't give up homers very often

They've played a tough stretch of baseball schedule wise and coincidentally are now also in a slump. No 3 week stretches of KC/Det like the Indians get.

He's a very good one. The problem is they need sp help, but they're relying on Manaea to come back and one of Puk/Luzardo down the stretch. Never safe to assume guys will come back and contribute this late into the season.

yeah they definitely need to go out and land a SP. not wise to bank on those guys coming in and immediately making an impact
