On That’s Amaury’s News and Commentary podcast:

#1 Does Kyler Murray’s decision to leave the Oakland A’s for the NFL Draft or will he be a two sport player much like Bo Jackson and Dieon Sanders?

#2 How serious are the Philadelphia Phillies about pursuing Bryce Harper and does Amaury think they’ve got the best chance of acquiring him?

#3 How much does it take out of ball clubs when they open the season in Tokyo because of the distance the A’s open this season in Japan. Do the players enjoy the trip and do they find it productive and challenging?

#4 San Francisco Giants pitcher Madison Bumgarner is still in the shopping sweepstakes. No deals yet, but plenty of interest.

#5 Manny Machado has an seven-year deal on the table that could be as huge as 13 years at $325 million from the Chicago White Sox. Will it be too good to pass up?

#6 White House treated the Clemson Tigers to lunch with hamburgers boxes from Wendy’s, McDonalds, and Burger King on silver platters with paper napkins and plastic containers of mustard, mayo, and ketchup. Could Trump have served better food for lunch.

On Headline Sports with Tony:

#1 The Oklahoma Sooners’ Kyler Murray signed a MLB contract with the Oakland A’s for $4.66 million. Murray is expected to stay with baseball, but could very well end up a number one NFL Draft pick. Will Murray leave baseball for the NFL or keep his commitment with the A’s?

#2 Pac Bell Park, SBC Park, AT&T Park, and now Oracle Park. AT&T and the Giants split and the higher bidder, Oracle, will have naming rights.

#3 At one time, people used to criticize Levi’s Stadium that it was too hot in August through October to sit in the stands. Now after the college playoffs, it’s the toast of the town with its VIP lounges, nice carpeted turf, and nuances. Why the fans’ change of heart?

On That’s Amaury’s News and Commentary podcast:

#1 The Oakland Raiders pulled off a surprise win against the Pittsburgh Steelers 24-21. The key play of the game a quarterback Derek Carr pass to Derek Carrier for a 43-yard touchdown. The Raiders get their third win of the year.

#2 The 49ers got by the Denver Broncos, thanks to tight end George Kittle, who got an 85-yard touchdown pass to help fire up the team for a 20-14 win. The third win for SF of the season

#3 The A’s plan to shore up their pitching staff during the winter meetings. Mike Fiers was non tendered and the A’s will shop for some starting pitching during this winter.

#4 The San Francisco Giants need to stock their outfield this winter. Especially after their anchor Andrew McCutchen left for the Yankees late last season and Hunter Pence will not be back. That gives Giants GM Farhan Zaidi plenty of work to do.

That’s Amaury’s News and Commentary podcast: Brewers shut out Dodgers have a shot to win this series; A’s part ways with flagship station

Published on by Sports Radio ServiceLeave a comment

On That’s Amaury’s Commentary:

#1 The Milwaukee Brewers look like a dominating club. They took game one of the NLCS against the Los Angeles Dodgers then dropped game two, but came back and shutout the Dodgers 4-0 in game three and this is after they swept the Colorado Rockies during the NLDS.

#2 The Red Sox and the Astros are both tied in the ALCS. The Sox tied the series with a 7-5 win and play in Houston tonight.

#3 The Oakland A’s decided to part way wit their flagship station 95.7FM the Game. The A’s said the lack of “promotion and interest” by the station was the reason behind the move.

#4 The A’s are without a flagship station and this is going to be a big concern. Where can they go? They’re considering streaming their games.

#5 Should team president David Kaval and the A’s considered staying at The Game until they find another radio station? Right now, the A’s are nomads for radio.

On That’s Amaury’s News and Commentary podcast:

#1 You said it best one game and one and done. All the way to New York and it’s all over for the Oakland after some 162 games in a 7-2 loss at Yankee Stadium on Wednesday night.

#2 The Wild Card should be at least two out of three games, but baseball says that’s a longer season.

#3 The Yankees wasted no time in the first inning getting a two-run home run from their star hitter Aaron Judge.

#4 The Yankees got the pitching too. Starter Luis Severino had a no-hitter going through four innings.

#5 Amaury’s last game of the season. Just get your thoughts on the fantastic year the A’s had to get this far.

On the Headline Sports podcast with London:

#1 The Colorado Rockies move onto the NLDS with a win over the Chicago Cubs 2-1. For the Rockies, they took a 5-2 loss on Monday night and had to fly to Chicago for a one-game Wild Card game at Wrigley Field and defeated the Cubs to advance to the NLDS.

#2  The Rockies go onto to face the Milwaukee Brewers for game one of the NLDS Thursday night in Milwaukee despite losing to the loss to the Dodgers on Monday night. The Rockies feel like the rewards of their work, advancing to the NLDS.

#3 The Oakland A’s who worked out in New York on Tuesday get set for tonight’s AL Wild Card game. The last time the A’s were in the Wild Card, they were quickly eliminated by the Kansas City Royals. Can they do it with the odds against them in New York?

#4 The Houston Astros have had a great season all year long. Can they keep going as they open up the ALDS with Cleveland at Minute Field in Houston?

#5 Home field advantage for the Los Angeles Dodgers in the NLDS on Thursday night. The Dodgers host the Atlanta Braves, which could be one of the best matches of the playoffs.

4) Who is going to win this game?
