MLB Streak Watch
Streak Watch in MLB: Oakland Athletics at 9 and Counting
Published
Every result in MLB feeds a streak somewhere, and a few of them have now grown big enough to deserve names. Everything below comes straight off the results; nothing fancier than counting.
Stuck in the barrel
The skid to watch belongs to Oakland Athletics, losers of nine in a row. Runs like this always end eventually; the only question is how much damage gets done before they do.
New York Yankees have dropped 3 in a row themselves.
Worth remembering
The longest run on the board sits at 9 games, and runs that size have a way of bending a whole week's storylines around them, every broadcast, every pregame note, every nervous manager quote.
None of these runs are forever. Enjoy them as stories, count them honestly, and remember the results table starts blank again tomorrow.
One to circle: Athletics meet Kansas City Royals in their next game, and we will find out quickly whether this stretch travels.
