Lots of lefty action, slow lefty action.
Again, the A's need to lay off the first pitch from Moyer, take a strike and wait for a pitch to drive from Moyer. The more over-anxious the hitter, the more it plays into Moyer's hands.

the A's dominated the Mariners last night, as they should have. Good.

It gets a little easier to see how bad the Mariners are but harder to really see where the A's are at.
This weekend agaisnt the White Sox won't be any better of a test as the White Sox have won a number of games 'they should have lost'.
We may not know who the A's are until after the All Star Break.

The way A's pitchers are attacking the strike zone, I'd like to see what happens against a truly good offense.

I think the true barometer will come right after the all-star break.
4 games against Texas, then 3 against the Angels, then 4 more against Texas. With 7 of those games on the road where the A's have been terrible. Should they pull off something like a 7-4 record or better during that stretch then, perhaps, I'll begin to consider their chances.
In the meantime they need to keep beating up on the Mariners and Blue Jays of the league.
