On the Oakland A’s podcast with Jeremiah:

#1 Jeremiah the Oakland A’s are hot right now winning four out of five games from the Houston Astros what would allude to as the A’s biggest strategy for their recent success?

#2 The A’s are climbing the AL West with a seven game lead over the Astros and are playing the Rangers today in Arlington in a doubleheader if they can take this series and the two game series in Colorado you can pretty say they have the west wrapped up.

#3 Successes on the team have been the addition of A’s second baseman Tommy LaStella who made some fine defensive plays and is leading off in the A’s line up.

#4 Tony Kemp has been important hitting .257 and has filled in at second when need be his speed on the base paths has given manager Bob Melvin the confidence that he could be the insurance run.

#5 The A’s and Rangers play a doubleheader today in Arlington for game one the A’s Chris Bassitt (3-2) who pitched seven innings of shutout baseball against the Astros last Tuesday will start today. Bassitt has thrown some impressive innings recently.

#6 Jeremiah if the A’s can keep this up and just maybe win the World Series would that be a big step in helping the team get their new ballpark built at Howard Terminal in downtown Oakland?
