On the A’s podcast with Jerry F:

#1 Jerry talk a little bit about the A’s and Astros series where they have played five games against each other this week.

#2 The A’s and Astros had a doubleheader on Tuesday night in the middle of the series and they both split. In the first game A’s Khris Davis hit his second home run of the season in the 4-2 win and lost the second game 5-4 when the bullpen couldn’t hold up.

#3 The A’s have had much success in staying ahead of the Astros, the Astros did suffer some starting pitching injuries and had lost eight of their last 11 games.

#4 Although the A’s hold a 5 1/2 game lead on the Astros like manager Bob Melvin says about Houston their not a team that you could let up on.

#5 The A’s have three more doubleheaders left in Texas on Sep 12th, Sep 14 in Seattle and Sep 26th versus Seattle in Oakland.
