Sacramento A’s podcast Daniel Dullum:

#1 Chicago White Sox Sam Antonacci and Braden Montgomery both hit home runs as the Sox rallied for six runs in the first inning. Montgomery kept busy swinging for four RBIs in the contest.

#2 A’s starter JT Ginn tried as hard as he may pitched 4.1 innings was tagged for six hits, eight runs, three walks and seven strikeouts. Does it seem a matter of Ginn is having arm trouble or the Sox got their pitches today?

#3 The loss is the A’s ninth in a row. This matches their longest loss streak on May 27 to Jun 4 from last season. The A’s have now lost 13 of their 14 games and have lost 17 of their last 20 games with an overall record of 41-55.

#4 A’s All Star Shea Langeliers in spite of the tough afternoon hit his 21st homer of the season for the A’s only run of the game. Langeliers is hitting .257 with 21 homers and 46 RBIs, 90 hits. Langeliers has worked hard to get to represent the A’s at the All Star game.

#5 A’s will take a four day All Star break off Monday through Thursday. Will these four days be for regrouping, resting and trying to draw a plan to get back what they had earlier this season first place in the AL West or will the A’s be sellers before the trade deadline or even at the All Star break.
