Episode 115 -- The Oakland Athletics decided to play on Wednesday and beat the Rangers 3-1, somehow. Franklin Barreto got his first start of the season and struck out three times and his misplay on a steal attempt led to the lone Texas run. Could Barreto become a trade piece in the coming week?

In the second segment, Jason talks about what happened in the sports world on Wednesday. The NBA could be on the verge of cancelling their playoffs, the A's are going to discuss whether or not they'll play on Wednesday, and six MLB teams decided to strike on yesterday. Also, special shoutout to the women of the WNBA and the Washington Mystics for everything they've been doing. They WNBA often gets overlooked, but they're doing great work in advancing social issues, just like the NBA.
