The Athletics are in freefall, losers of eight straight and 28 of their last 33 games, with manager Mark Kotsay demanding “good quality baseball” and wins — something they’ve struggled to deliver. A brutal homestand (1-6) capped off by a heartbreaker against the Reds highlights their offensive woes — averaging just three runs per game — and bullpen collapse, where key relievers keep blowing leads. While J.T. Ginn and Jacob Lopez shine and newcomers like Seth Johnson debut strong, consistency remains elusive. With no wins in 12 series and a tough weekend ahead against the surging Red Sox, Kotsay’s message is simple: set the tone from Game 1 or face another losing streak.
