On the A’s podcast with Jeremiah:

#1 Oakland A’s catcher Shea Langeliers made good contact against Chicago White Sox pitching with two home runs in the A’s 8-5 win at Guarantee Rate Field in Chicago’s South side.

#2 The White Sox Luis Robert Jr snagged a fly ball that was certain to clear the fence hit by the A’s Brent Rooker in the top of the fourth inning. Despite the catch the A’s hung for the three run win.

#3 Things had been tough for both the A’s and White Sox, the White Sox had infielder Tim Anderson out on a suspension for fighting and has returned, the clubhouse atmosphere had been not so loose and the Sox have lost seven of their last ten games.

#4 The A’s have had their share of problems narrowly avoiding getting swept on their last road trip winning the last game in St Louis and getting swept by Baltimore upon returning to Oakland. The A’s snapped out of it taking two out of three from Kansas City to conclude their last homestand.

#5 The A’s and Sox go at it again starting for the A’s Zach Neal (0-0 ERA 8.25) going for the White Sox Dylan Cease (5-6 ERA 4.50) a 5:10pm PT first pitch.
