We obviously went into season without Burnes(trade),Woodruff(shoulder surgery),Miley(elbow surgery), for 2024.Havent had Williams,Mitchell for first 3months.Junis,D l..Hall,Ross,Uribe for the majority of the year.So 4/5 of rotation, set up man,and a world class closer of 2024 projections.Yelich has missed 25games,Hoskins 23,and oh yea,we have a 1st year coach because the all time winning coach in franchise history back doored us and went to r most hated rival without warning. So what does Pat Murphy do,he brings in Hudson(4-0)(0.86era),Paredes(1-0)(1.23era),calls up Koenig(6-1)(1.77era),Gasser(2-0)(2.57era)&Meyers(5-2)(3.12era).Thats a combined(18-3),172 innings,171k combined for 4/5guys that didn't throw a pitch in majors in 2023.only Hudson pitched in 2023,only 8.2innings for Oakland. Megill is 16/17 in saves,with a 1.85era(28.1innings).b.Wilson is 4-3 and has thrown 67.2innings Peguero is 5-2 with a 2.90era,Payamps 3.86era with the 2 combining for 17holds,5saves and 59innings(51k's).On top of all this Murphy&Co has to make sure there developing the 20yr old Chourio,23yr old Black,the two 24yr Old's in Turang&Frelick and the suprising offense of breakout in 25yr old Ortiz.Murphy& staff has team leading all of mlb in steals,13 games over .500,,5game lead over 2nd place team,and best of all 9game lead over Cubs, as we r only 3games from the halfway point of the 2024 season.This is one of the best coaching jobs I have ever seen by an organization.So don't get to critical when they fall apart because these pitchers that have been outstanding have very little experience pitching as many innings as they already have pitched.Need 2/3 of Ross,Junis or Hall to stay healthy and log some innings after all star break
