Barbara Mason is filling in for Amaury Pi Gonzalez:

#1 The Golden State Warriors, who had lost four of their last six games, got a stunning win in Philadelphia against the 76ers 120-117. The Warriors needed the win to stay on top in the Western Conference. They now lead the Denver Nuggets by 1 1/2 games who the Warriors play on Friday. They also struggled against the Boston Celtics on Tuesday night and play the Los Angeles Lakers on Wednesday night.

#2 Was it stupid or did it make sense for the Philadelphia Phillies to sign Bryce Harper to a 13-year, $330 million deal?

#3 How much of a measuring stick will San Francisco Giants pitcher Madison Bumgarner be and how effective will he be for the Giants?

#4 Down to 45 players on the spring roster, the Oakland A’s need to cut 20 more players before the regular season starts. How much confidence do you have Bob Melvin’s selections when the regular season nears?

#5 The A’s haven’t given up on Kyler Murray. They feel he will come back to baseball and it’s their hope he will play ball for them. What are the chances?

Barbara Mason is filling in for Amaury Pi Gonzalez:

#1 Golden State’s Kevin Durant gets lots of credit for his work shooting the basketball, but his defensive prowess also is something that he should take a lot of credit for as well.

#2 New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft’s solicitation charge is something that some have said shouldn’t even be that big of deal. Some say this is human trafficking. How deep is Kraft in and could he work things out with the justice system in Florida where this took place?

#3 How possible is it that the San Francisco 49ers could obtain the services of the Pittsburgh Steelers’ Antonio Brown and the New York Giants’ Odell Beckham Jr, who are noted two of the best wide receivers in the NFL?

#4 Oakland Raiders General Manager Mike Mayock is at the controls as the Raiders, who are about to get three first round picks for the 2019 NFL draft.

#5 The Oakland A’s are taking a close look at pitcher Mike Fiers and Marco Estrada as opening day starters. Fiers joined the A’s in August (5-2, 3.74 ERA) could be the most likely starter for opening day.

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

#1 The Environmental Impact Report on the Howard Terminal location for the Oakland Athletics new ball park will show that the location has had a century worth of toxic dumping there of cancerous material that includes cyanide poisoning.

#2 The chemicals also include manufactured material that was used to help light Oakland street lights at the turn of the 19th century.

#3 A’s president David Kaval said that any clean up cost would be paid privately but the study and length of time of how and how much to do a clean up toxic waste site is still to be mulled over?

#4 Kaval made it clear that costs for infrastructure, transportation, and environmental will be a big job and the timetable for opening the Howard Terminal ball park is estimated in 2033–some 14 years from now.

#5 Amaury talks about his coverage for the Oakland A’s training camp in Mesa, Ariz. for spring training.

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?

#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.
