Sure, because the A's are only one elite player away from greatness.
MLB 2023 Season: Rangers are going hunting for Snakes

In order to do that, they'll have to lose 45 out of 52 games, which would be a winning percentage of .135.At this point I'm still rooting for Oakland to beat the Philadelphia A's 1916 record of 36 and 117, which gave them a winning percentage of .235, the worst in the modern era. In a 162-game season, that would mean a record of 37-125 or worse to make a new record, and 38-124 to tie. Come on, guys, you can do it!
Even they aren't that bad!
...but I'm all for the rooting, too.
Whoever picks the announcers for those AppleTV+ games deserves some kind of penalty, such as death.

At least they aren't Joe Buck.

Or Chip Caray. It's not Chip Caray, right???
Nope, no Chip Caray.

Carlos Rodon is hurt. Again.
FUUUUUUUUUUCK
FUUUUUUUUUUCK
D-Train wasn't terrible. I've never heard of any of the others.
I didn't know that Wayne Randazzo's cousin was one of the umpires
Randazzo has done play-by-play for the White Sox and Mets, and is currently the play-by-play announcer for the Dodgers.
Faust is best known for his hockey work, as the LA Kings' play-by-play announcer from 2017-2023. Faust was also mentioned by Alex Trebek as a possible successor for host of Jeopardy!, but I don't think he was ever seriously considered; he certainly wasn't part of the parade of guest hosts after Trebek died.
Spilsborghs played outfield for the Rockies from 2005-2011; since retiring, he's done pre- and post-game analysis for Rockies games.
Watney covered the Red Sox on NESN, and then moved to MLB Network in 2012, where she was host of Quick Pitch from 2013-2021.
Whitaker is the field reporter for Tampa Bay Rays games when she isn't doing Friday Night Baseball for Apple.
Gorman and Scott are retired umpires.
Are those last 2 ump apologists during games?
That video is no mas, but it's all over the place.
The AL Central is only better due the the first place team having the + run diff. The 2 weakest divisions once again.
Look. Just look at those run differentials.
The NL Central is so dumb.
It's nice to see the Cards in the basement for a change. The "Cardinal Way".....
Frickin' Angel Hernandez has been umping for over 30 years? How does a douche like him keep a job that long?
