On the Oakland A’s podcast with Jerry Feitelberg:

#1 The A’s have won two games in this series with the Boston Red Sox at Fenway Park. The Sox have to be sick of the A’s about now after getting no hit when they were out in Oakland and then the A’s come in and take the first two games of the series.

#2 The A’s got some great pitching out of starter Sean Manaea on Monday night and then on Tuesday night from starter Daniel Mengden.

#3 The A’s open a four-game series in Toronto starting tonight at Roger’s Centre. The A’s will be going with Jake Sanchez (3-2), who’ll open the series tonight.

#4 In the Sox series, Mark Canha, who was playing center on Tuesday, chased down a foul ball near the side wall in foul territory and made the catch. A fan took a swipe at the ball and hit the brim of Canha’s hat. Canha said the fan should have been thrown out of the game, but wasn’t.

#5 A’s outfielder Stephen Piscotty came back to play on Tuesday after taking a week off for bereavement following the death of his mother. Piscotty, with a heavy hat, hit a home run over that historical fence the Green Monster for his third home run of the year.

That’s Amaury’s Podcast, News and Commentary: As A’s put Orioles in the rear-view mirror, Astros are a beast to deal with

On this edition of That’s Amaury’s podcast:

Amaury Pi Gonzalez is joined on the podcast with co-hosts Jerry Feitelberg and Michael Duca talking about the A’s latest sweep over the last place Baltimore Orioles. The Orioles, who played three at the Coliseum and were swept, have now lost six straight.

This is the second worst start in team history for Baltimore at 8-26. In 1988, the O’s didn’t win a game until April 21st after going 0-21. That’s not to say the A’s didn’t play well, but it’s a big difference as they are playing the Houston Astros to open up a three-game series at the Coliseum on Monday night.

The Astros are the World Champions who are leading baseball with a 21-15 record in the AL West. The Astros have the best rotation in baseball. This series is going to be a challenge for the A’s as it was when they played each other last week in Houston.
