Oakland A’s podcast with Joey Friedman: A’s just can’t do anything with Jays on the verge of getting swept

On the Oakland A’s podcast with Joey Friedman:

#1 After the Toronto Blue Jays were swept in a brief two-game series by the visiting San Francisco Giants on Tuesday and Wednesday, the Oakland A’s came into Rogers Centre and are on the cusp of getting swept in a three-game series.

#2 The A’s faced the Jays starter Aaron Sanchez on Saturday and the A’s, who have a lot of pop in their lineup, were lucky to even get a pop up off Sanchez, who gave up only a run in five innings against the A’s.

#3 The A’s have a 6-12 record against right-handed pitching as opposed to 8-3 against lefties. This is something no doubt that the Jays have studied film on and have dominated the A’s in their meetings this season.

#4 Former Oakland A’s Eric Sogard scored a run after hitting a double on Saturday and has hit safely in all nine games he has played for the Jays. Sogard is hitting .400, three doubles and two home runs.

#5 It’s the A’s last chance to snap the Jays’ five-game winning streak against them as they will start pitcher Chris Bassitt (1-0, 0.00 ERA) against Trent Thornton (0-3, 5.79 ERA) for Toronto.

On the San Jose Sharks podcast with Len:

#1 Five different players scored a goal each in Friday night’s game one. Joe Thornton, Gus Nyquist, Kevin Labanc, Brent Burns and Marcus Sorensen scored for the Sharks.

#2 The Sharks gave up the first goal and then in the second period and scored three unanswered goals. Does that pretty much describe the character of this team?

#3 The Colorado Avalanche outshot the Sharks in the first period 13-9 and won 47% of their faceoffs.

#4 The San Jose Sharks outshot the Avalanche in the second period 13-11 and won 43% of faceoffs, so a little adjustment there.

#5 How different how much of a big change has Sharks head coach Peter DeBoer has this team since they were down 3-1 to the Vegas Golden Knights in the first round?

On the NHL Stanley Cup Playoff podcast with Matt:

#1 The San Jose Sharks came out again on Friday in game one of the second round against the Colorado Avalanche. There was no let down or any trouble much like the struggles they had in round one with the Vegas Golden Knights with a convincing 5-2 victory.

#2 The Sharks rallied twice in the contest after being one goal down and won their fourth straight playoff game.

#3 It was the second period when the Sharks started to take over the contest, and with the help of Sharks goalie Martin Jones, the Sharks were able to hold off the Avalanche as Jones stopped 26 shots.

#4 The Carolina Hurricanes’ Jordan Staal got an overtime goal at 4:04 to lead the Canes past the New York Islanders in the opening game of the second round series to take a 1-0 lead. The Hurricanes defeated the Isles in a razor close game 1-0.

#5 It was an amazing goal of sorts as the Canes’ Nino Niederreiter took a shot that caromed of the boards where Staal took the puck on the right side and put it past Isles goalie Robin Lehner’s skate.

On the NHL Stanley Cup Playoffs and Sharks podcast with Mary Lisa:

#1 There is little doubt that after the Sharks’ Joe Pavelski got laid out on a cross check, The Sharks got fired up and rallied in the third period to force a comeback tie with the Vegas Golden Knights on Tuesday night.

#2 After being down 3-1, Sharks goals came from Logan Couture (2), Tomas Hertl, Kevin Labanc and Barclay Goodrow to tie up the contest. After the Pavelski cross check, the Sharks did it for their team captain.

#3 Down 3-1 in the series and home ice, the Sharks are a team noted for coming back when the chips are down.

#4 After some inspiration, the team seems rejuvenated and after Tuesday’s game seven, said they’re fired up about moving onto the next round against the Colorado Avalanche on Friday night.

#5 For Sharks head coach Pete DeBoer, how does a coach get a team up for a third period after being down 3-1 in the series? Tell us the kind of job DeBoer had to go through to come back from being down 3-1.

Headline Sports podcast with Tony Renteria: What went wrong with Golden State? Clippers just a little better in the end; Did LA pick up on Warrior defense?

On the Headline Sports podcast with Tony Renteria:

#1 The Warriors tried and tried to stay ahead of the Clippers on Wednesday night in Oakland, but fell just a few points short in the end. Was it a matter of the Clippers were the better team or was it a matter of the Warriors just had a close but off night?

#2 In a game when your short some seven or eight points, what lacked from the Warriors’ skill set? Were guys letting up or the Clippers were setting up the shot without the pressure and through these playoffs the Clips were able to learn some weaknesses in the Warrior defense?

#3 It was no doubt a team effort by LA from Lou Williams (33 pts), Danilo Gallinari (26 pits), and Montrezl Harrell (24 pts), who led the Clips in scoring.

#4 The Clips are down 3-2 in the series, but you never know what team is going to show up. They came back and erased a 31-point lead by Golden State in Game 2 and they held on in Oakland to win by eight 129-121 on Wednesday night to win Game 5. Is this a fluke or they can come out and do it again?

#5 On the Warriors side, Kevin Durant came out with 45 points, Stephen Curry with 24 pts and Klay Thompson with 22 points. Some nights you can do all you can, but you just end up short. These guys put it all out there on Wednesday.

#6 Lastly in NBA news, did Magic Johnson’s resignation as Los Angeles Lakers team president take you by surprise? He reportedly left  because he saw a negative email that was blindly Bcc’d to him that was written between team owner Jeannie Buss and team general manager Rob Pelinka that said Magic wasn’t getting the job done. Magic decided it was time to resign and met with the media to make the announcement without first giving notice to Buss or Pelinka.

Headline Sports podcast with London Marq: Kings staying with Walton until evidence proves otherwise; Do you believe in miracles? Could Sharks pull off a second round win?

Published on by Sports Radio ServiceLeave a comment

On the Headline Sports podcast with London:

#1 Kelli Tennant says that she is not seeking jail time or a certain amount of money from the lawsuit she filed against Sacramento Kings head coach Luke Walton, but wanted to share what had been weighing on her mind since she said that Walton sexually assaulted her in April 2015 when he was an assistant coach for the Golden State Warriors.

#2 Tennant spoke to the media in a press conference on Tuesday to tell her side of the story that Walton had invited her to his hotel room to read over some material from the book “The Transition: Every Athlete’s Guide to Life After Sports”. It was in his room she said she was sexually assaulted. In the press conference and after listening to what Tennant said about the assault, will this change the way people view Luke Walton now?

#3 The San Jose Sharks, who were down 3-1 in their last series with the Vegas Golden Knights, found a way to get off the mat and win three straight to advance to the second round.

#4 The Sharks had to come back with four goals in the third goal just to tie the game up, which they did 4-4, but they also had to skate an extra overtime stanza to score a winning goal to win the game so that’s virtually four unanswered goals to come back and win Game 7.

#5 Coming off a dramatic win like the first round the Sharks now open up the second round against the Colorado Avalanche, do you see them coming in with a lot momentum and having a great chance to even win the next round?
