On the Oakland A’s podcast with Titus Wilkinson:
#1 Tonight’s thriller is predicted to be close to a sell out for the “Sell” T Shirts A’s fans who are attendance before the Tampa Bay Rays and Oakland A’s at the Oakland Coliseum. Fans are trying to make a statement tonight for A’s owner John Fisher to sell the team.
#2 That won’t happen anytime soon as Fisher is hoping to move his club to Las Vegas. That came a little closer tonight with the Nevada Senate voting in favor of building a park on the Vegas Strip.
#3 Back on the field the A’s brought a five game win streak to Monday night’s game at the Coliseum after return from winning two out of three in Pittsburgh and a three game sweep in Milwaukee and played a mostly scoreless game against the Tampa Bay Rays on Monday that later became a one run game.
#4 One of the keys during the A’s win streak is they were getting some much needed pitching once you have that in place they were able to stay ahead and not look over their shoulders.
#5 Titus, the Rays and the A’s match up tonight in game 2 of this four game series the Rays started Jalen Beeks (2-3 ERA 6.12) and for the A’s right hander Shintaro Fujinami (3-6 ERA 11.12) pitched an inning and was replaced by Hogan Harris a 6:40 pm PT first pitch at the Coliseum.
