On Headline Sports podcast with Bruce MacGowan:

Bruce touches upon the subject that the Oakland A’s are deliberately going into the tank to turn off fans to show the City of Oakland, fans, media and fans why they it won’t work at the Oakland Coliseum and are an organization that won’t go anywhere as long as they have to play in a undesirable location.

Bruce takes a look at the San Francisco Giants All Star players pitcher Carlos Rodon 8-5 ERA 2.66 and Joc Pederson .252 with 35 runs, 17 home runs, and 42 RBIs both who will represent the Giants at the All Star Game.

Also a look at the lone Oakland A’s selection Paul Blackburn who started out the season at 6-2 but absorbed some tough loses due to a lack of run support and finished the first half at 6-5 ERA 3.62.

Bruce MacGowan was a former talk show host on San Francisco radio stations KNBR 680, KGO 810 and KCBS 740 and appears as a guest on Headline Sports podcasts.
