On the podcast with Barbara:

#1 It’s not a matter of asking “who are these guys” with the recent eight game winning steak of the A’s but rather the question is more like “who are these guys” when the opened the season 0-6.

#2 A’s manager Bob Melvin knew all along that after breaking out of that opening week funk the A’s were good enough, smart enough to make things happen.

#3 In the four game series that the A’s (9-7) just completed against the Detroit Tigers (6-10) over the weekend the A’s threw two shutouts. A’s starting pitchers Frankie Montas and the bullpen on Friday threw a dandy after Montas who pitched six innings and surrendered just two hits left and three relievers shutout the Tigers the rest of the way for the 3-0 win.

#4 On Saturday’s game A’s starter Cole Irvin and three relief pitchers shutout the Tigers 7-0. Irvin went six innings and gave up just four hits.

#5 Tonight the Oakland A’s three game series against the Minnesota Twins (6-8) has been postponed until Tuesday as a doubleheader due the Twins having Covid-19 protocol issues.

#6 The Twins as an organization have been concerned and paid tribute regarding the recent murder of young motorist Daunte Wright 20 at the hands of 26 year veteran Brooklyn police officer Kim Potter , the Twins had postponed one of their games against the Boston Red Sox on Mon Apr 12th at Target Field out respect for Wright. The Derek Chauvin case is going to the jury if Chauvin is found guilty for involuntary manslaughter chances are Minneapolis could face heavy protesting and sports in Minnesota will most likely be further postponed.
