Episode 247 -- The A's lost to the Houston Astros (again) on Thursday, but Jason goes through the wreckage of the 2021 season so far to point out some bright spots from last night's game.

Melissa Lockard of The Athletic joins the show for part 2 of our talk about A's prospects. Who is on her radar as a breakout candidate? Why were the A's adamant about having a traditional reliever in the bullpen to start the season? Which prospects could join the pitching staff this season? Melissa tells all!
