MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred addresses the Oakland A’s draft selection shortstop Jacob Wilson to a chorus of boos at the 2023 draft at Lumen Field in Seattle (ESPN photo grab)

On the Oakland A’s podcast with Barbara:

#1 Tough times continue for the Oakland A’s dropping the third game of the three games series in a close battle with the Boston Red Sox 4-3 at Fenway Park.

#2 The Red Sox with the win have a five game winning streak going and the A’s pitching as well as hitting could not put a dent in the Red Sox pitching or stop their hitting.

#3 Masataka Yoshida has been a huge help for the Sox hitting .316 with ten home runs and 44 RBIs and has provided some offensive punch for Boston. Singled and scored the tying run against the A’s.

#4 Oakland pitcher JP Sears took a no hitter into the fifth inning but gave up an unearned run. Sears had control on the Sox hitting but ran out of gas in the fifth.

#5 At the MLB baseball draft in Seattle MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred was introduced and was booed loudly there were several reasons for that one of them is basically fans want the A’s to sell and keep the team in Oakland a chant and a push by fans who insist the A’s do not relocate. Manfred was introducing A’s draft pick Jacob Wilson and said he was from Grand Union University there is no Grand Union University.
