Two A\u2019s pitchers take the mound today,<\/p>\n
Against the Cleveland Guardians it\u2019ll be Wei-En-Lin getting the start, making his first appearance back with the A\u2019s since leaving to go represent Taiwan in the World Baseball Classic.<\/p>\n
Speaking of World Baseball Classic – – that\u2019s exactly where you can find the second A\u2019s pitcher. Luis Severino is set to lead the Dominican Republic into battle against USA. The winner of this matchup will go on to the championship, facing whoever comes out on top in the Venezuela \/ Italy matchup scheduled for tomorrow evening.<\/p>\n
Two A\u2019s pitchers starting in one day where a split squad situation isn\u2019t happening? That\u2019s crazy! What\u2019s even crazier is that Mark Kotsay has Zack Gelof penciled in as the leadoff and CENTER FIELDER in today\u2019s lineup!<\/p>\n
Check out how the rest of the order will unfold behind our new outfield option\u2026<\/p>\n
After the mainstays put on an absolute clinic against the Royals yesterday, it looks like Kotsay\u2019s going to be giving some of the young guns a little moment in the sun.<\/p>\n
Which means the legend of Cade Marlowe continues! He and the switch-hitting Leo De Vries stand as the only lefty bat options in the starting nine, in a game against right-hander Tanner Bibee, who went 3+ with 6Ks in his last outing against the San Francisco Giants.<\/p>\n
Cleveland looks to be rolling out some of their dogs in a game where Lin, Jack Perkins, and Matt Krook are all scheduled to pitch.<\/p>\n
Let\u2019s see how they square up against the likes of Steven Kwan, Jose Ramirez, and the highly touted Travis Bazzana.<\/p>\n
