On the MLB The Show podcast with Matt:

The way that Boston Red Sox manager Alex Cora had managed the 18 inning affair on Friday night at Dodgers Stadium from a hitting stand point where he missed not executing a double switch properly and didn’t make the right substitutions so heading into extra innings you in that Sox line up missing JD Martinez, Rafael Devers, Mitch Moreland, Steve Pearce.

So they really took a couple of weapons away and also no Andrew Benintendi as a pinch hitter. The Red Sox took away a lot of their weapons early in that game and they went with a makeshift line up that included having the pitcher bat through the game and the Sox kind of piecemealed the game and lost by a run in the end.

On the Oakland Raiders podcast with Joe:

#1 How much of a factor was it for the decision to trade wide receiver Amari Cooper? He had 36 yard totals in four different games and his production was down before being traded to Dallas on Monday.

#2 The trade came at a peculiar time during practice Monday. Cooper got pulled out of practice Monday and was notified that he had been traded.

#3 Monday general manager Reggie McKenzie said no one is untouchable and then head coach John Gruden said, “we’re not trading anyone else.”

#4 Quarterback Derek Carr has gone through a challenging week and a half after getting sacked nearly a dozen times in London by the Seahawks in their last game.

#5 The Raiders are over the jet lag and are set to host the Indianapolis Colts this Sunday. How do you see this matchup?

On the Oakland Raiders podcast with Tony:

#1 The deal to send Amari Cooper to the Dallas Cowboys has changed the chemistry in the Raiders’ locker room, hasn’t it?

#3 The Raiders’ quarterback Derek Carr said he wasn’t crying after getting hit by the Seattle Seahawks in London. What was the true story?

#4 McKenzie said Cooper, 24, was under contract until 2019 and could have made $13.9 million. McKenzie said money was not the reason for trading Cooper.

On the San Jose Barracuda podcast with Marko:

#1 How tough was it to lose to Stockton on home ice last Sunday after winning five of their first seven games in San Jose’s best start?

#2 The previous night before San Jose on Saturday got a three-goal win in Stockton 5-2, but the Heat was hot and wanted a revenge and bounced back on Sunday with a 3-2 win.

#3 In the second period, the Barracuda were in penalty trouble and they got shelled when Spencer Foo hit a goal for his fifth of the season and the Heat took a 3-0 lead.

#4 The Barracuda also struggled to score in the first ten minutes of the second period and that also costed them time and effort, especially when Stockton was converting shots.

#5 The Barracuda get set for San Antonio on Friday, October 26th at 5:30 pm. Marko sets this one up for us.

Sacramento Kings’ Tuesday report: Pooped out Kings drop third game of roadie to Nuggets 126-112

quotes from the sacbee.com

By London Marq

The Sacramento Kings were exhausted after completing their three game road trip in Denver to the tune of 126-112 loss to the Denver Nuggets. The Nuggets are undefeated use the Pepsi Center to their advantage as teams come up to the Mile High City and sometimes struggle with the altitude such as the Kings’ Justin Jackson was referring to as the team got a little tired in the second half of the game, “It’s always hard to come to Denver and play,” Jackson said. “The altitude is pretty nuts out here. Did we get fatigued a little bit? We might have, and it’s pretty understandable. … It’s Denver. The altitude is — you can push for so long, (but) eventually you’re going to get a little tired.”

The Kings’ Marvin Bagley III enjoyed hitting a Kings’ mark for a rookie not achieved since 1995 with 20 points, nine rebounds, five blocked shots. The last time a Kings player did that was Brian Grant in 1995. Bagley became the third NBA rookie player to hit those totals joining former Detroit Piston John Salley (1987) and Stanley Roberts (1992).

“I’ve got to give it my all every time I step out on the floor no matter what the score is,” Bagley said. “I love playing this game and I think I’d be cheating myself if I didn’t go as hard as I possibly could and still be a great teammate no matter what the circumstances may be.”

The Kings return back to Sacramento for a Wednesday night contest with the Memphis Grizzlies at Golden 1 Center. Jeremiah Salmonson has your game coverage.
