Episode 140 -- THE A'S WON A PLAYOFF SERIES! Oh man, what a game. What a feeling. Jason talks about the A's win, Bob Melvin's great management of his and Rick Renteria's bullpens on Thursday, the series MVP and more in the first segment.

In the second segment, Jason talks about some of the relief after that final out was called. What this win means to him, and likely other A's fans, too. He also gives his thoughts on how the A's should line up their rotation to face off against Houston in the ALDS.

Episode 139 -- The Oakland Athletics scored a win yesterday, forcing a decisive Game 3 today at noon. Jason goes over Game 2 and some of the help the A's received from Nick Madrigal in order to secure Wednesday's victory. He also talks about Bob Melvin's interesting usage of Liam Hendriks to close out the game.

In the second segment, Jason previews Game 3, including who could be eating up some innings for both squads and how far they'll be allowed to go. Mike Fiers seems like the obvious pick for Oakland since he's a rested righty, but there are some factors that work against him getting the nod, too.

Episode 138 -- The Oakland Athletics put on a showing in Game 1 against the Chicago White Sox that was all too familiar for A's fans. Lucas Giolito was tossing a perfect game through six, and the A's never really felt in it. But, Jason has some positive things to talk about too!

One positive is that this isn't it for the A's. There's another game at noon that we can all battle anxiety through! Jason goes over the Game 2 starters and how they've fared against the opposition's bats in the past and gives his prediction for who will deliver the big hit for the A's on Wednesday.

Episode 137 -- The Oakland Athletics and Chicago White Sox start Game 1 of their series in just a few hours and Melissa Lockard of The Athletic stops by to give her takes on how the two teams match up, who could be the key to a series win for the A's and how their depth stacks up moving forward.

Plus, the A's announced their starters for Games 1 and 2, and one of them was a tad surprising. Who is it and how should we be feeling? Also, J.B. Wendelken has been added to the playoff roster. How big of a role could he have?

Episode 136 -- The Oakland Athletics have a date with the Chicago White Sox on Tuesday to kick off their 2020 title hopes. It's not the matchup we were hoping for, but it's not the worst of the possible matchups either. So how do the A's and White Sox stack up against each other?

In the first segment, Jason looks over the Sox offense, which is filled with dudes that just mash. In the second segment, he looks at their Games 1 and 2 starters as well as the bullpen.

These teams are evenly matched, but Jason delivers some hope at the end of the podcast that could make the difference this season.

Episode 135 -- It only took 10 innings, but the Oakland Athletics finally put some runs on the board to beat the Mariners, 3-1. Where does this win put the A's in the playoff seeding, who would be their new matchup, and what are some wild scenarios that have a very real chance of happening? Gonna have to tune in to find out!

In the second segment, Jason takes a look at how the A's and Astros would match up in the first round now that Houston officially has the number six seed, and the A's can work their way to the number three seed if they choose. Let's just say it wouldn't be the worst thing in the world to face Houston in Oakland again next week.

Episode 134 -- The Oakland Athletics dropped the rubber match with the Los Angeles Dodgers on Thursday in their final true postseason tune-up. Mike Fiers looked good, but he still may not be pitching in Oakland next week. Jesús Luzardo worked three innings in relief to add his name to the list of potential starters for the wild-card series. So where does the rotation stand entering the postseason?

In the second segment, Jason and Ulises Sambrano of Locked on Rays continue their chat from yesterday, talking about strikeouts, that kid from the White Sox that's impressing the baseball world (Garrett Crochet), and which team scares us the most in the playoffs.

Episode 132 -- Frankie Montas had a chance to cement himself in the postseason rotation on Tuesday, and after he left the mound at Dodger Stadium it's tough to see where he'll fit into the A's playoff plans. How could the A's use him this October, and who will most likely be starting games in the Wild Card round?

In the second segment Jason talks about an interesting development in the AL Central that could play to the A's favor if they advance past the first round of the postseason.
