Sacramento A’s Relocation podcast Daniel Dullum:

#1 Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority CEO and president chairman and Las Vegas Stadium Authority chairman Steve Hill said he was confident that the A’s will break ground at the Tropicana site by mid June.

#2 The A’s are counting on following the same steps that the Las Vegas Raiders took to get their ground breaking underway with zoning and land use permits all lined up and on a scheduled timeline to see shovels in the ground by mid June.

#3 The timeline the Raiders had was 68 days between Clark County approvals and when the Raiders started work on their current stadium Allegiant Stadium worth $2 billion. The A’s whose park would sit on nine acres at the Tropicana location will rest on 35 acres could follow through on the permits and be ready for construction by June.

#4 Hill said as of now there is a good amount of work being done at the Tropicana site. Contractors are clearing the rubble from the implosion of both Tropicana towers from last year.

#5 Hill said that the rubble is being cleared out and that material would be recycled and used for material would be used to build the A’s ballpark.

WEST SACRAMENTO–The A’s put up an impressive fight, but fell just short in a 7-6 loss to the New York Mets to open this three-game series at Sutter Health Park.

It was another beautiful night for baseball at the A’s rental home here in West Sacramento. The clouds illuminated a beautiful sunset on a 73-degree evening on the shores of the Sacramento River.

The A’s were looking for their second win in Sacramento, and they would face another strong team in the New York Mets. Like the Padres, the Mets had a large contingency of fans in attendance in their trip to valley.

The left-hander, JP Sears, would take the ball for Sacramento, as he would try to set the tone in this series. Sears got off to a good start by pitching a scoreless top of the first inning.

However, Brandon Nimmo led off the top of the second with a home run to right-center field. Later in the inning, back-to-back doubles by Luisangel Acuna and Luis Torrens plated another run to make it 2-0.

Mets’ starter Griffin Canning began his night with a 1-2-3 bottom of the first. The A’s then got on the board in the bottom of the second on a two-out base-hit the other way to right off the bat of Miguel Andujar.

Sears was in trouble again in the top of the third, but got out of it thanks to a nice sliding catch by right-fielder Lawrence Butler next to the side wall in foul territory. Canning, too, survived a jam in the bottom of the third. Brent Rooker tripled with one out, but he was cut down at the plate on a ground ball off the bat of Tyler Soderstrom.

Sears was back in trouble in the top of the fourth, as the Mets got a runner to second with nobody out. However, like the inning before, Sears was able to get out of it unscathed.

Unfortunately for Sears, he would not be able to work out of another jam in the top of the fifth. Juan Soto singled to lead off the inning, and Pete Alonso knocked him in with a double to left-center to make it 3-1. That did it for Sears, as Mark Kotsay made the move for Mitch Spence. Spence got out of the inning without any further damage to keep it a 3-1 game.

Sears threw 101 pitches over just four-plus innings, as he gave up three runs and six hits. Sears only walked one, and he struck out seven.

Meanwhile, Canning threw a 1-2-3 inning in the bottom of the fourth, and he survived a jam in the bottom of the fifth.

Spence was back out for the top of the sixth, and the Mets would open it up. Jose Siri walked with one out, and Francisco Lindor reached on an error by second-baseman Max Muncy. Juan Soto then walked to load the bases for Pete Alonso, who knocked Siri in with a sacrifice fly to right to make it 4-1.

Up came the longtime veteran and former A, Starling Marte. Marte hit a double over the head of center-fielder JJ Bleday and off the bottom of the wall in straightaway center, and Lindor and Soto sored to make it 6-1.

However, the A’s bounced right back in the bottom of the sixth. Shea Langerliers doubled to lead off the inning, and Wilson knocked him in with a one-out base-hit off the end of the bat to right-center to make it 6-2. The throw home from right-fielder Juan Soto allowed Wilson to move up to second.

Up came Andujar, who hit one out to left, and just like that the A’s got all three runs back to make it 6-4. That also did it for Canning.

Reed Garrett came in for Metropolitans, and the A’s loaded the bases against him with two outs. Soderstrom then came up and hit a bullet to right, which got this crowd going, but it was right to Juan Soto, and that ended the inning.

Jose Leclerc came in for Oakland and threw a 1-2-3 inning in the top of the seventh. Leclerc was an out away from another 1-2-3 inning in the top of the eighth, but Pete Alonso hit a line-drive home run down the line in left to make it 7-4.

Ryne Stanek and A.J. Minter pitched 1-2-3 innings in the bottom of the seventh and eighth respectively for the Mets. Jason Alexander then threw a scoreless top of the ninth for the A’s.

The Mets brought in their electric closer, Edwin Diaz, to try and get the save in the bottom of the ninth. Diaz has struggled at the start of the season, and those struggles would carry into this one.

Lawrence Butler walked on four pitches to start the inning and advanced to second on defensive indifference. Soderstrom then walked on a wild pitch, and Butler went to third. Langeliers then lined a double down the left field line, which scored Butler to make it 7-5.

Bleday got Soderstrom home with a sacrifice fly to left-center to make it a one-run game at 7-6. The A’s had the tying run in Max Schueman, who had come in to pinch-run for Langeliers, at second. However, Wilson grounded out to second, and the A’s fell just short.

Griffin Canning got the win; JP Sears took the loss; and Edwin Diaz picked up his third save of the young season.

The A’s fall to 5-9 and last place in the American League West.

The A’s will look to bounce back against the Mets’ left-hander, David Peterson (1-0, 2.53 ERA) Saturday afternoon. The A’s have yet to announce their starter. First pitch will be at 1:05 p.m.

NBA G League Playoffs: Kings even up series 144-126 over Magic at Adventist Arena

By William Espy

STOCKTON–It was do-or-die for the Stockton Kings on Friday night in front of a sell-out crowd at AdventistHealth Arena. A win would force a game three in the NBA G League Finals. A loss on the other hand, would crown the Osceola Magic as G League Champions. The Kings performed well and won game 2 enough to live another game of the G League Playoffs defeating the Magic 144-126.

Early in the game, both teams were trading points back and forth. It took four minutes for a team to take a two-possession lead. The Magic maintained that pace for a while at that point though, as each time the Kings would score, so would Osceola.

Halfway through the quarter, the Magic had started pulling away with a seven point lead. Just a couple of minutes later though, Stockton would have a two point lead of their own. That lead would eventually lead to a game-high, at that point, nine point lead for the Kings at the end of the first quarter.

The Magic quickly shrank that lead, getting off to a hot start in the second quarter and clawing their way back into the mix. Once again, by the halfway point of the second quarter, the visiting team held the lead. They carried that lead into halftime, as the Magic led 75-68 after 24 minutes.

As was becoming a theme in this game, the lead would be short lived as a difficult three by Mason Jones tied the game up for the Kings with eight minutes remaining in the third quarter. After a back-and-forth quarter, Stockton carried a lead into the final frame. With a score of 110-104 in favor of the home team, it was still anyone’s game.

The Kings were dominant to start the fourth quarter. They quickly grew their lead to double digits with a 9-0 run, and forcing the Magic to take a timeout in the process. The Kings continued to grow their lead, making it 129-112 with just over half of the quarter remaining.

Led by strong performances by Jones, Skal Labissiere and Dexter Dennis, the Kings were able to overcome Mac McClung and the Magic to force a game three, winning with a final score of 144-126

SACRAMENTO — The Kings were back in action on Friday night in Sacramento as they took on the visiting LA Clippers. The Kings lost to LA by a final of 101-100 on Friday night inside Golden 1 Center.

In the first half, the Kings and Clippers kept pace with each other, trying to vie for position. The Kings outscored the Clippers 29-24 to jump out to the quick lead in the game.

In the second quarter, the Kings were outplayed by LA, as the Clippers outscored the Kings 26-20 en route to a one-point 50-49 halftime lead. The Kings were led in the first half by Domantas, who had 10 points in the half.

In the second half, the Kings fell behind the Clippers as they outpaced the Kings 25-21 in the third quarter. Offensively, the Kings couldn’t get anything going early in the second half and were in danger of the game slipping away.

However, the Kings battled and were able to bring the game to within one point with the ball and 2.2 seconds to go in the game. The Kings would inbound the ball to DeMar DeRozan near the logo, and he wouldn’t get a good shot off as the Kings lost 101-100.

In the fourth quarter, the Kings outscored the Clippers 30-26, but it wasn’t enough to win the game.

The Kings were led in the loss by Zach LaVine and Domantas Sabonis, who scored 26 and 19 points respectively.

Up Next: The Kings will stay home to take on the Phoenix Suns in the final game of the regular season on Sunday at 12:30 PM PST.

The San Jose Sharks fell 4-2 to the Edmonton Oilers on Friday. Evan Bouchard, Ty Emberson, Corey Perry and Connor Brown scored for Edmonton. Connor McDavid had assists on all four goals. Calvin Pickard made 22 saves in the game. The win clinched the Oilers’ position in the playoffs at third in the Pacific Division. Will Smith and Henry Thrun scored for the Sharks. Georgi Romanov made 30 saves. The loss was the eighth in a row for the Sharks.

After the game, Sharks Head Coach Ryan Warsofsky said:

“You would never know we only have 20 wins. I give a lot of credit to our group. We’re competing. Little slow start but we got it going there, had some good chances, good chances to tie it up. I gotta give a lot of credit to the group. They’re continuing to compete. They’re not looking at their record.”

On the other hand, Warsofsky pointed out that the team made some familiar errors, taking too many penalties: “If you put a team on the power play five times, it doesn’t matter if it’s McDavid or anyone else in the League, they’re gonna make you pay. That’s what happened tonight.”

Alexander Wennberg talked about that penalty problem, in particular the stick penalties: “Obviously, some of the calls we kind of disagree with but it’s part of the game as well. Obviously, play a little more to the body, get your sticks together and be more careful.”

Evan Bouchard started the scoring for Edmonton with a power play goal at 6:47 of the first period. After passing back and forth high in the zone with Connor McDavid, Bouchard took the shot from the slot through traffic. McDavid and Adam Henrique got the assists.

Ty Emberson made it 2-0 at 15:41. McDavid sent the puck to the net just as Emberson arrived there for a tip-in. McDavid and Bouchard got the assists.

Will Smith trimmed that lead with a goal at 17:13. Smith dumped the pucj in from the neutral zone sand then followed it in. Nikolai Kovalenko won the puck near the boards and passed it to Smith for a shot through traffic.

The Sharks were badly outshot in the first period, 14-6. The Sharks took two penalties and had one power play at the end of the period.

Henry Thrun tied the game at 5:44 of the second period. He gathered up the puck along the boards and shot it into traffic from a tight angle. It was the defenseman’s second of the season. William Eklund got the assist.

The shots were closer in the second, 12-9 Oilers. The Sharks again took two penalties to the Oilers’ one.

Corey Perry scored the game winner on the power play at 7:32 of the third period. He tipped a Connor McDavid shot that came from the boards. An assist also went to Adam Henrique.

Connor Brown scored on a breakaway into the empty net at 19:34. Assists went to Darnell Nurse and Connor McDavid.

The Sharks next play on Sunday in Calgary against the Flames at 5:00 PM PT.

Giants Beat Yankees in a Rain-Soaked Yankee Stadium 9-1

By Barbara Mason

The San Francisco Giants (10-3) beat the New York Yankee’s (7-6) at Yankee Stadium in six innings 9-1 Friday night. It was a rain-soaked windy day that started off with a San Francisco 5-0 lead in the first inning. Less than 5,000 fans remained when the umpires delayed the game with San Francisco loading the bases with two outs. Jung Hoo Lee had the only home run of the game, a three run homer.

Game recap: The stoppage did not delay the Giants offense in any way; the rain did not dampen their spirts, in fact they made quite an opening statement scoring five runs in the first inning.

Jung Hoo Lee got the inning going hitting a three-run home run with Mike Yastrzemski and Willy Adames onboard giving San Francisco an early 3-0 lead. It was a great start for the Giants who added a couple more runs before the inning came to an end.

LaMonte Wade Jr. doubled Heliot Ramos and Matt Chapman home and San Francisco could not have asked for a better start leading 5-0 after one inning. The Yankees did not fare well at all in their first at bat. Aaron Judge walked but Giant’ starting pitcher Robbie Ray struck out Cody Bellinger, Ben Rice and Paul Goldschmidt in a nice first inning for Ray.

The Yankees got a little something going in the second inning off a Austin Wells double driving Anthony Volpe home. The Wells hit came within a whisper of being a home run but was deemed in play after hitting the top of the wall and bouncing in.

Ray had walked two runners in the second; Volpe walked, went on to steal second base and score and Peraza also walked. With two outs, Ray was looking to get out of the inning and he did just that with the Giants taking a 5-1 lead into the third inning.

The Yankees threatened again in the third inning with two runners on base but came away empty. San Francisco had been unable to do further damage since the very productive first inning. Going into the fourth inning, the Giants had five hits, the Yankees two hits.

Neither team was able to do any damage in the fourth inning playing in a virtually empty stadium due to the inclement conditions with not only a steady rain but also some pretty gusty winds that was playing havoc with the ball.

Matt Chapman walked in the fifth inning, his third walk of the game, as did Jung Hoo Lee and San Francisco had two runners on base with one out. The Yankees had already gone through three pitchers in the game and there was action going on in the bullpen as Tim Hill relieved Ian Hamilton in the fifth.

Hill walked another runner Wade Jr. and the Giants had the bases loaded. They brought in three runs to extend their lead 8-1. All three Giants who had walked crossed home plate and the Yankees were really struggling on the mound.

Wilmer Flores grounded out to the pitcher and Lee scored followed by a wild pitch that allowed Matt Chapman to score. Finishing off the top of the fifth inning a Patrick Bailey double brought in another run and the Giants were cruising. San Francisco’s starting pitcher Robbie Ray was relieved by Spencer Bivens in the bottom of the fifth inning.

Ray had a good game allowing two hits through four innings with seven strikeouts and one earned run. He walked four Yankees. Through those four innings Ray had thrown 98 pitches.

After five innings the Yankees had walked seven runners opening the sixth inning with yet another four walks and San Francisco had the bases loaded again with no outs. Mike Yastrzemski scored and the tally was a 9-1 lead for the Giants.

When that run scored the tarps came out as the rain began to pickup and the players left the dugouts. Going through the five plus innings, this game was official should it be called. After deliberation the game was indeed called with San Francisco winning 9-1 in six innings.

The Giants had 12 runners on base in the game with Jung Hoo Lee hitting the only home run of the game driving in three runs for the early 3-0 lead in the first inning. San Francisco really capitalized on the 11 walks from the Yankees, with Matt Chapman walking three times. LaMonte Wade Jr. had three RBIs.

Game notes: The Giants rolled into New York taking on the Yankees’s Friday night for a three-game series. There was a slight delay as the threat of rain made good but the game finally got underway after a brief stoppage, a 26 minute set back.

A light rain continued as fans scrambled for shelter as this game attempted to plod through at least five innings. San Francisco came into this game after losing two out of three in a series to the Cincinnati Reds in San Francisco. The Yankees also lost their last series to the Detroit Tigers.

Saturday the second game of the series has a forecast of even more rain than Friday although later in the day and not at game time. Hopefully that forecast will hold up and game two will go off without a hitch. Jordan Hicks (1-0) will take the mound for game two of the series with a 2.38 ERA. The Yankees will start Will Warren (0-0 ERA 6.00) looking for a better start in Saturday’s game.
