Theybswept the two games in Oakland. That was my reference. As for Beane, I will always appreciate that he traded Cespedas in ‘14. Helped the Giants win a WS. He’s a good GM. He’s not some kind of savant.

And say what you want about Billy Beane, but ai doubt any other GM is capable of taking the A’s payroll and turning that into regular playoff appearances.
