On That’s Amaury’s Podcast:

1 Former Chicago White Sox Manager Al Lopez born to Cuban parents came to Florida and Tampa Bay was the birth place of this 19 year baseball veteran player turned manager. Lopez managed Cleveland from 1951-1956 and moved onto manage the famous 1959 Chicago White Sox known as the Go Go Sox a team that led the American League in stolen bases that season. Lopez passed away four days after the White Sox won the 2005 World Series at 97 years old.

2. 13 pitchers count em, 13 that’s what the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim used on Monday to beat the Oakland A’s 11-9 in the opening game of their series at the Oakland Coliseum it was a wild and willy game that saw the Angels use the most pitchers in a game in their franchise history and the A’s didn’t do so shyly using a total of seven pitchers in said same contest. The A’s Matt Olson clobbered two home runs but for not as the A’s fell two runs shy and lost their seventh straight game.

3 Hurricane Irma is gaining speed and it reportedly baring down on the Caribbeans. Packing winds of 185 miles per hour Irma rated a category 5  is expected to make landfall of the Caribbeans and then will make it’s way to Florida. This one packs more power than Hurricane Katrina which was a category 4. After what Florida has learned about Hurricane Harvey and it’s devastation of Texas the state of Florida and the Caribbeans both are hunkering down and calling for a state of emergency. The Miami Marlins and the Tampa Bay Rays like the Houston Astros might have to find a neutral site to play their games until the emergency has been called off. The Rays Tropicana Field was used as a neutral site for the Houston Astros and the Texas Rangers right after Hurricane Harvey.
