On the A’s podcast with Jeremiah:

#1 The Oakland A’s were back Friday night hosting the San Diego Padres after having five games postponed the A’s were anxious to get back to work. Unfortunately the Padres had other ideas and got a three pitcher 7-0 shutout over the A’s.

#2 A’s general manager David Forst says that pitcher Daniel Mengden is staying at his Houston home recovering from Covid-19 and should be back after his quarantine is over.

#3 Mengden is a long reliever and with his absence the A’s are looking for someone who can fill that bill. Will that add pressure to A’s newest acquisition Mike Minor?

#4 Marcus Semien who suffered an injury in Houston sat out for Friday night’s game the A’s used newly acquired Tommy LaStella at second and Vimael Machin at shortstop to replaced Semien?

#5 Jeremiah taking a look at today’s starting pitchers for the San Diego Padres Chad Paddack (3-3 ERA 4.43) and for the A’s Sean Manaea (2-2 ERA 5.64)
