Seattle -1½ over Oakland

10:35 PM EST. Bryan Woo (RHP - SEA) has only started 21 games this year but dude can pitch. He’s just 24 years old and will pitch under no pressure here, as the Mariners have officially been eliminated from playoff contention and will finish the year with three games at home. Woo underwent Tommy John surgery while in college then soared to the majors once healthy (skipping AAA). Both his swing and miss rate and xBB% indicate upside beyond his already above average K-BB%. Woo displayed three pitches with a swing and miss rate of 13-15%. He’s also starting to solve vL in by featuring his cutter more. He rarely walks guys and is in an extremely favorable spot here.

You see, everybody said goodbye to Oakland Athletics baseball in their own way yesterday afternoon.After 57 seasons at the Coliseum -- and decades of indecision and vitriol swirling around the team's future -- the A's played their final game in Oakland in front of a massive crowd on a bright and gorgeous Bay Area afternoon. The crowd was raucous, the mood festive and the fans engaged from the first pitch. The afternoon started early. The parking lot, scheduled to open at 8 a.m. -- more than 4½ hours before first pitch -- instead it opened at 7 AM after the line of cars waiting to get into the stadium backed up traffic on I-880.

The A's announced a deal to move to Las Vegas in April 2023, and this past April they announced a three-to-four-year stay in a minor league stadium -- Sutter Health Park -- in West Sacramento, beginning next year while a new stadium is built. The team's lease at the Coliseum ended after the final out Thursday, and negotiations between the city and the A's on an extension fell apart nearly before they started.

On the final day, the team hit some of the right notes, as former A's pitcher Barry Zito sang the national anthem, and Dave Stewart and Rickey Henderson, both Oakland natives and A's legends, threw out the first pitches. The A's took several impromptu team photos in front of their dugout before the game, and the starting nine was greeted with a standing ovation when it took the field. Members of the A's grounds crew scooped up dirt for fans down the left-field line, and many A's players did the same. An hour before first pitch, Stewart stood next to the "Rickey Henderson Field" logo behind home plate, with dark sunglasses shielding the world from the tears in his eyes.

We could go on and on about the festivities and emotion in Oakland yesterday afternoon but we trust you get the point. The Athletics won yesterday by a score of 3-2 and there’s a great chance that mentally, their season ended yesterday too. The A’s will show up in body only here, as they have to be mentally checked out and also mentally drained after such an emotional day. For the A’s, this is like playing an exhibition game the day after winning the World Series.
