Episode 272 -- The Boston Red Sox beat up on Sean Manaea on Thursday night to avoid the sweep, but the A's still won two of three against a formidable club. Also, Deolis Guerra is an unsung cog in the bullpen, Elvis Andrus has a new approach at the dish, and Matt Olson has been struggling in May.

Jason also points out some standout performers in the A's minor league system from Thursday night's action, including Nick Allen and Lazaro Armenteros. In the final segment, Jason gets you ready for this weekend's series in Minnesota with the Twins. What have they been up to since leaving Oakland? You'll have to tune in to find out!
