On the Oakland A’s podcast with Barbara:

#1  After scoring six runs in the third inning, the A’s allowed eight Angel hits and the Angels scored in three straight innings the third through the fifth.

#2 There was not a home run in sight for Oakland in this game. More often than not the A’s don’t do well when they are not knocking long balls. 

#3 Sunday afternoon, the A’s finished up their series with the Angels losing in the fourth game of the four game series and failing to pick up the four game sweep. 

#4 A’s Osvaldo Bido really fell apart in the fourth inning walking three runners and allowing a Taylor Ward grand slam giving Los Angeles their first lead of the game 7-6. 

#5 The A’s-Giants will meet for a two game Bay Bridge Series at Oracle park starting Tuesday night at 6:40pm PT. Neither team has announced a starter. The A’s are coming off winning three out of four games in Anaheim and the Giants are coming off sweeping the Rockies in four games in Colorado. Barbara how do you see this match up.
