A look at the Oakland Coliseum could the park grow tall grass and weeds after the A’s leave in 2024 (AP News file photo)

On the MLB podcast with Augie Mesenburg:

#1 Can you see the Oakland Coliseum going the way of the old ballparks of yesteryear with weeds and foliage growing after the team has departed. Similar to Shibe Park in Philadelphia, Ebbetts Field in Brooklyn, Pontiac Silverdome, or the Houston Astrodome once the Oakland A’s leave in 2024?

#2 The San Francisco Giants won big on Thursday 7-2 and then on Friday night got clobbered by the San Diego Padres 7-3 at Petco Park in San Diego. You have to wonder on some days which Giant team is going to show up.

#3 The Los Angeles Angels a team your watching today waved five players four of whom were picked up and fifth player who didn’t get pick up Randal Grichuk is back on the Angels roster because the Angels were on the hook for his salary anyway. The Angels got walloped by the A’s on Friday 9-2 at the Oakland Coliseum.

#4 Augie, with the Angels struggling as they are does that automatically indicate to Shohei Ohtani that it’s time to go shopping.

#5 Arizona D-Backs minor league pitcher Jose Cabrera has been suspended for testing positive for performance enhancers. Cabrera 21 years old is 4-9 ERA 5.28 with 23 starts in class A Visalia and Hillsboro.
