San Francisco Giants pitcher Alex Cobb deals in the first inning against the Oakland A’s at the Oakland Coliseum on Sun Aug 6, 2023 (AP News photo)

On the Giants podcast with Marko:

#1 Early on in Sunday’s game the A’s (32-80) got to Giants (61-51) starting pitcher Alex Cobb who allowed runs early with a run in first inning and two runs in the second inning. Did Cobb struggle with his control early in the game?

#2 Marko, take a look at Cobbs line against the A’s pitching 5.1 innings, seven hits and five runs and strikeouts. Cobb had trouble keeping runners off the base paths.

#3 How unusual was it for shortstop Brandon Crawford to make two bad throws for errors, was this a matter of him not focused on his throws or do you believe he might have an injury that is causing him to make those errors?

#4 Marko, the Giants and A’s traded leads but when the A’s had that three run sixth inning that pretty much broke the game open for them and they had that confidence they could seal the deal.

#5 Marko, the Giants open a three game series in Anaheim against the Angels, the Giants who won five of six before getting swept by the A’s. The Giants will start Logan Webb (9-9 ERA 3.45) and the Angels will start Pat Sandoval (6-8 ERA 4.11) first pitch 6:40pm PT at the Big A in Anaheim.
