Coco Crisp Scratched from #Athletics Starting Lineup for Second Day in a Row

Per Susan Slusser, on Twitter.

And Slusser at SF Gate, "A’s acquire Adam Dunn from White Sox."

The A's are in a slumpin' funk.

Donaldson says if he had answers for why offense struggling, "we wouldn't be struggling."

Asked about confidence level, outlook going into final month of season, Donaldson said, "I don't know. We'll see."

Donaldson said of recent team struggles, "Pretty much everything's been said. Everyone sees it." Team morale? "I think it's pretty obvious."

A couple of people have asked if the A's sound defeated. No, they sound like a mix of pissed and frustrated. Exactly as you would expect.
