Oakland A’s podcast with Augie Mesenburg:
#1 The Oakland A’s are coming off a sweep against the Pittsburgh Pirates and improved their won loss record to 15-17. The A’s come into Friday night’s ball game against the Miami Marlins with a four game win streak.
#2 What a difference it’s been for the A’s they started the season 1-7 and now they come into Friday night’s game with a four game win streak and looking to extend it to five.
#3 The A’s had started out with their success which goes back to their first road trip when they won series in Detroit and Texas and then on their second road trip they split a four game series in New York and won a three game series in Baltimore. The A’s came home to sweep the Pittsburgh Pirates in the last series and host the Miami Marlins tonight at the Coliseum.
#4 The Marlins are coming off a three game sweep of the Colorado Rockies to improve their record to 9-24. The Marlins are last in the AL East and have struggled but once you get a taste of winning like the A’s have a team can catch fire.
#5 Game one of the series underway the Marlins are starting LHP Ryan Weathers (2-2 ERA 4.55) and the A’s JP Sears a lefty (1-2 ERA 4.64) both clubs coming off winning three game sweeps how do you see this one?
