On the Oakland A’s podcast with Jerry Feitelberg the A’s enjoyed being in first place in the AL West for the beginning of the current series with the visiting Los Angeles Angels at 4-3. Yes at one time before they got those four wins they were 1-3 against the Chicago White Sox who opened the A’s homestand at the Oakland Coliseum.

In that series with the Sox the A’s only got blown out one game and were involved in three one run games with the Sox of those they lost two and won one. The A’s took three in a row from Seattle. The A’s starting pitching has been good Rich Hill went in as an emergency starter for Sonny Gray on the home opener.

Hill struggled that night but on Saturday he was excellent and Chris Bassitt who pitched the second game pitched well on Sunday in Seattle going seven innings three hits, and gave up an unearned run. The A’s bull pen has been outstanding with help from Ryan Madson, John Axford, and Sean Doolittle anyone of the three of them can close out a game.
