Jerry takes a look at the Oakland A’s pitching rotation A’s starter Cole Irvin got knocked out of the box after three innings, seven hits, and three earned runs on Tue Aug 24, 2021 facing the Seattle Mariners at the Oakland Ring Central Coliseum (AP News photo)

On the A’s podcast with Jerry F:

#1 If the State says the sale of the Coliseum property is not legal and the deal for some further reason can not continue that also could put a monkey wrench in the A’s plans in their business model to use the Coliseum property.

#2 Jerry how relieved or glad does A’s manager Bob Melvin and the A’s happy to be to get a day off on Wednesday after have some rough series against the Chicago White Sox, San Francisco Giants, and Seattle Mariners this past week.

#3 The A’s going into the series with the New York Yankees have lost eight of their last ten games after going so well before the All Star break the month of August just simply fell apart for the A’s

#4 Jerry talk about the starting rotation for the A’s Chris Bassitt, James Kaprielian, Sean Manaea, Cole Irvin, and Frankie Montas it seems that after Bassitt got hit in the cheek with that line drive in Chicago things have really gone south for Oakland.

#5 They’re unstoppable and they come to Oakland with an 11 game win streak the Yankees have surpassed the Boston Red Sox and A’s in the AL Wild Card standings and lead them both by two games and with the A’s struggling the Yankees have the upper odds to take this four game series.

#6 Jerry, talk about tonight’s match up for the Yankees Jameson Taillon (8-4 ERA 3.94) and for the A’s James Kaprielian (7-4 ERA 3.25). For Kaprielian and the A’s every game now are must games to stay alive for any chance at the post season.
