Dustin Ackley your AL batting champ? Who knew?
The first play-in game is in the books and it's everything we thought it would be. Seattle's anemic offense (2.45 runs per nine) tops just pitiful Oakland's (0.82).
It's nice to see Ichiro ahead again in the race for the batting title, at .800. All singles, as you'd have guessed. Ditto for Yoenis Cespedes, living up to Oakland's hopes with a .333/.500/.667 performance. He's got to cut down on the 324-strikeout pace though, or he'll never catch league-leading Ackley's 162-homer output.
King Felix's 272-inning pace with a 1.13 ERA screams Cy Young, even if he hasn't registered a decision all year. His .625 WHIP is historic, not to mention the envy of fantasy owners. It's the polar opposite of poor Andrew Carignan, the A's reliever on pace for 48 frames of 540 ERA ball and 162 losses. Are you sure he's not a Pirate?
Finally, games sure are moving quickly now that no one all season has issued a walk. Wait, the A's without a free pass? Did Billy Beane retire?
