On That’s Amaury News and Commentary podcast:

#1 The A’s are rolling they have won five of their last seven games and are now 16-10 since the All Star Game and is the sixth best record in MLB and are currently 53-71.

#2 The A’s have won more games than last season and are just seven games short of their 60 wins in 2022.

#3 The A’s are now tied for fourth place with the Los Angeles Angels for fourth place in the AL West and could move into third place if they could eclipse the Angels with a successful four game series with the Tampa Bay Rays.

#4 The A’s so far are 8-6 in the month of August. There is no doubt since going 15-9 in July that teams are gearing up for the A’s knowing they had one of the best records in baseball in July.

#5 Just had to ask the Las Vegas Stadium Authority held a meeting last Thursday and LVSA CEO Steven Hill who headed the meeting was confident that the A’s would have their financial house in order by the October 17th meeting and that the A’s share of the construction should all in place by that time. The A’s said their financing $350 million and getting private financing $850 million in private equity. Can the A’s pull off the financing for the Las Vegas ballpark before the December deadline?
