That’s Amaury’s News and Commentary podcast: A’s loss to M’s pretty much ends Wild Card hopes; Oakland now 3.5 back

Jerry Feitelberg is filling in for Amaury on the podcast:

#1 The A’s certainly know how to keep fans on the edge of their seats they certainly did that with a three game sweep at the Oakland Coliseum over the weekend with the Houston Astros.

#2 The A’s in one of those nail biters came on Saturday when Elvis Andrus was scrambling for home plate on a Starling Marte double Andrus was flying round third and scored a on a belly flop at the plate for the game winner but felt a pop in his ankle coming home which turned out to be a left fibula fracture.

#3 The other walk off win came on Sunday when Mark Canha got a base hit in the bottom of the ninth to score Sean Murphy from third with the bases loaded.

#4 The A’s showed a lot of resilience in the series and fighting back on the tough Astros was impressive work it was a series that kept them alive in the AL Wild card race after losing a four game series at home against the Mariners.

#5 Lastly there has been a lot of controversy regarding the A’s raising ticket prices almost doubling the prices and A’s season ticket holders have either dropped out or will hold their nose and buy next season but are not purchasing them quietly.
