On the Oakland A’s podcast with Titus:
#1 Titus, big night last night for JJ Bleday who got the walk off home run in the last of the ninth for his ninth home run of the season for an A’s 2-1 win.
#2 Bleday’s home run was his first career walk off home run. A’s manager Mark Kotsay said last night after the game that he and the coaching staff has been pushing him on his physicality and to push himself harder.
#3 The A’s last night had five hits and pulled it off for the win. For the most part the A’s are getting the pitching and as Kotsay has been emphasizing the club needs to really start swinging the bats.
#4 Last night the two big fan clubs the Last Dive Bar and the Oakland 68s showed up for the reverse boycott. Their push is to get owner John Fisher to sell the club they had remote broadcast coverage with Damon Amendolara and Damon Bruce who hosted the reverse boycott show. While it was a gesture for those fans who would like to see Fisher sell the club Fisher is pushing on with moving the club out of Oakland.
#5 Titus, taking a look at today’s starting pitchers for the Toronto Blue Jays RHP Kevin Gausman (4-4, ERA 4.60) and for Oakland Luis Medina (0-0, ERA 0.00). The Blue Jays are in dead last in the AL East 30-33 and have lost six of their last ten games. The A’s are fourth in the AL West and are ten games back and have lost six of their last ten games.
