Eric Martins, third base coach for the Athletics, joined The Allen Stiles Show on Tuesday to discuss the atmosphere at Sutter Health Park over the weekend, what goes into deciding an MLB lineup order, and more.
With Aaron Judge and the New York Yankees being in Sacramento this past weekend, all three games the A’s hosted were packed. While it wasn’t necessarily to see the A’s, it still made for a fun atmosphere at the park, as Martins acknowledged.
Plus, with Jacob Wilson recently moving into the leadoff role, Stiles picked Martin’s brain about what goes into those decisions, along with the rest of their lineup.
Be sure to check out the entire segment with Eric Martins on the Sactown Sports 1140 YouTube page.
Plus, Martins shared his ‘Welcome to the MLB’ moment from back in his playing days and plenty more on Tuesday’s show!
Listen to The Allen Stiles Show from 10 a.m. – 2 p.m. PST, Monday through Friday, on Sactown Sports 1140.
