Since the start of the season, problems have only increased for the Oakland Athletics. The American League team is last in their division and has lost fifty games this season. They have one of the poor winning rates at the moment. The A’s have also lost the support of the fans and often find themselves alone amidst the criticism. Even though they have found some success on and off the field lately, the end of the problem is still looking at a distant place for them.
