Injuries provide a reasonable cover especially when they are clustered so dramatically, and the A’s certainly had a double-triple-quadruple whammy when they lost Zack Gelof, Tyler Soderstrom, Jacob Wilson, Nick Kurtz, Joshua Kuroda-Grauer, and Shea Langeliers, in overlapping stretches in which often several have been out at the same time. Without a doubt these injuries, […]
