Will 2023 Oakland A's set modern team record for season losses?

They are now 18-50 so just need to go 23-71 (.244 winning %) the rest of the season to top the Mets win total. Amazing what a difference a week can make.

wow 4848 people in attendance. ugly #

Hope they resolve their stadium situation and move soon

7 in a row and an attendance listed at 27,759. I don't know if that many people really showed up, but it's hard to believe they sold that many tickets since I think their average attendance has been under 10K.

A's are now 1 game ahead of KC so they aren't even the worst team in baseball any more. Maybe the Mets record is safe for another year, although I guess either Oakland or KC could still make it interesting with a few bad weeks.

First off 7 in a Row wow. Scary that 7 in a row and their record does not look better.

They sold alot of tickets because the fans have been promoting doing a Reverse Protest

I heard that they had 6 wins total in March/April and 6 wins total in May so now 7 in a row in June is pretty amazing.

What is the purpose of the Reverse Protest? Has it now become the plot of Major League?

The fans organized the "Reverse Boycott" to show MLB that the sparse attendance is not the fault of the fans not wanting to go, but that poor ownership and a lack of investment is the culprit.

It seemed like it was a wild night. Very good game (Harris pitched his ass off), very loud all night, choreographed chants, thousands wearing green "SELL" shirts. Oh, and it was also "Bark in the Park" night.

I watched some of it - the atmosphere was like a real MLB game! The drummers were back, the crowd was huge. Unfortunately it coincided with the approval of the Vegas deal

A bunch of people, who didn't attend games for years, paid money to the guy they finally showed up to whine about for moving the team they didn't ever go see or support until they gave up and left. I'm not sure why people here thought that not having an embarrassing attendance for 1 game was going to do anything, but I don't understand lots of things. I've heard more about the A's from people who didn't seem to care for the last 15 years this week than I have in the last 15 years combined.
