OAKLAND – Josh Reddick is enjoying an excellent first half of the season, but the A’s right fielder expressed frustration Thursday night with his playing time in a surprisingly candid radio interview.

Talking with broadcaster Ray Fosse on the A’s pregame radio show on 95.7 The Game, Reddick suggested the team’s front office, specifically general manager Billy Beane, is making the call to keep him on the bench at times against opposing left-handers.
