#1 Amaury, How bad of an idea is it that MLB has scheduled the World Series to start on Oct 25 with the possibility of the New York Mets hosting in cold weather that could drop in the 40s at night. Further the World Series could run as long as Nov 5th. Some critics are calling this a really bad idea playing in possible freezing conditions that could bring rain or snow.

The lawsuit reads, “Balelo and [Ohtani], who were brought into the venture solely for [Ohtani’s] promotional and branding value, exploited their celebrity leverage to destabilize and ultimately dismantle Plaintiffs’ role in the project — for no reason other than their own financial self-interest,”

SAN FRANCISCO–The San Francisco Giants offensive woes continued as the bats got stumped by the Padres pitching staff 4-1 in game one of a three game set Monday night at Oracle Park. Recently acquired, OF Drew Gilbert recorded his first big league hit and Rafael Devers hit his 23rd home run of the season, but it wasn’t enough to overcome the Padres offensive onslaught in the seventh.
The Giants continued their homestand against a Padres team that has won four consecutive series. The .500 (59-59) Giants started a stretch where seven of their next ten games will be against the second place (NL West) Padres.
After a disappointing series to open up the homestand against the Nationals over the weekend, the Giants sent their ace, Logan Webb (10-8, 3.24) to the mound to bounce back in the win column.
In what turned out to be a pitcher’s duel until the seventh inning, Webb looked like his All-Star-self. Only allowing one run on five hits through his first six innings of work, Webb gave his moping offense a chance to stay in the game.
The story of the offense Monday night; no different than it’s been the last month and counting. The Giants were held to one run on five hits and went 0-for-2 with runners in scoring position.
The fact they only had two opportunities to hit with runners in scoring position is bad enough, but to go 0-for is the same story Giants fans have been watching for over a month.
Including Monday night’s start, Logan Webb has received three total runs of support over his last three starts at home (16.0ip).
The lack of offense and a seventh inning that blew up prefaced a dreadful Webb as he walked off the mound after pitching 6.1 innings, allowing eight hits, four earned runs, walked one batter, struck out three and allowed one home run.
Both teams put together a run in the sixth but the Padres took over the tie ballgame in the seventh and never looked back, silencing an already quiet Oracle Park crowd.
The Padres exploded for three runs on four hits in the top of the seventh, including a home run.
The Giants looked to answer in the home half, just as they had in the sixth. They were set down in four batters.
In the eighth, the bats were dodging the fireballs of Padres newly acquired reliever Mason Miller.
He quickly struck out the side in order.
Still a three-run game in the ninth, Padres closer Robert Suarez set the Giants down in order to secure the win.
The Giants got one hit in the final third of the game and dropped their third in a row.
Although as a team the offense has still yet to find their groove again, there are some individual milestones to be recognized from Monday’s tilt.
INF Dom Smith extended his career-best hitting streak to 14 games (longest active streak in majors), and OF Drew Gilbert is making a name for himself at Oracle Park after showing off his glove over the weekend and recording his first Major League hit Monday night off Yu Darvish.
Besides that hit and Rafael Devers’ game-tying home run in the sixth inning, Giants fans had nothing to cheer for.
As the team continues to free-fall the ballpark remains empty and quiet. The Giants will see if the San Francisco faithful get what they deserve in game two of the series Tuesday night at Oracle Park.
Starters for game two of the series for San Diego Nestor Cortes (0-0, 3.86) vs. San Francisco’s Robbie Ray (9-5, 2.85), first pitch 6:45pm PT.

WEST SACRAMENTO — The Athletics returned home on Monday night from a six-game road trip where they went 4-2 during stops in Washington, D.C., and Baltimore. Flying high, the A’s couldn’t keep the good times going as they fell to the Tampa Bay Rays 7-4 on Monday night.
The A’s pitching let them down on Monday in a game the A’s battled to stay in but ultimately couldn’t keep pace with the Rays.
Jeffrey Springs got the start for the A’s despite not feeling great physically going into it, A’s manager Mark Kotsay said.
“Pregame he wasn’t feeling great physically, but took the mound, took the ball, and again, you commend that effort and grind that he wanted to go out there and give us what he had.”
Give them what he had he certainly did, laboring through three and a third innings and allowing four runs, all earned. Springs did his best to scatter the seven hits he gave up while also only walking one Tampa Bay hitter.
“…Just kind of felt out of sync from the get-go,” Springs told reporters after the game. “…Just dealing with some stuff, felt like the body was kind of out of sync and fighting myself, and wasn’t able to make pitches and make the adjustment unfortunately. Just didn’t do my job, basically.”
Osvaldo Bido relieved Springs and gave Kotsay three and two-thirds innings of work while surrendering six hits in that stretch. Bido managed to work in and out of trouble most of the night. However, he gave up two solo home runs — that would prove to be the only run-costing mistakes on the night — in the seventh inning.
Michael Kelly came on in the eighth but wasn’t sharp, recording only one out and giving up a run, a hit, and two walks before being lifted for Hogan Harris. Harris would finish the eighth and ninth innings, working one and two-thirds innings and giving up just one hit.
On the offensive side of the ball, the A’s scoring came thanks to two home runs from middle-of-the-order bats. Yet, it was too little too late as Mark Kotsay alluded to after the game.
“I think offensively we put together some good at-bats there late in the game and got ourselves back into it, which isn’t easy to do, especially against this club.”
Shai Langeliers got the A’s on the board with a solo home run in the fifth inning that traveled an impressive 425 feet and left the bat at 109.4 mph. The A’s would score one more time courtesy of a Tyler Soderstrom three-run homer that at the time brought the A’s to within two, 6-4, in the eighth. Soderstrom’s blast went 414 feet into the Sacramento night and left the bat at 104.3 mph.
The A’s fell to 53-68 with the loss as they continue to try and claw their way back toward the .500 mark on the season. That continues to be the focus of the club down the stretch with less than two months left in the season.
Game two of the series will be on Tuesday at 7:05 p.m. PST at Sutter Health Park. Jacob Lopez (5-6, 3.59 ERA) will toe the rubber for the A’s as Tampa Bay will send Shane Baz (8-8, 4.92 ERA) to the hill.

#3 Sunday the A’s won a close one tying up the game in the sixth inning 1-1 and finishing it off in the ninth inning scoring two runs to win the series
#4 Willie MacIver was the hero in game three hitting a double in the ninth which allowed Lawrence Butler and Darell Hernaiz to score and seal the deal. Elvis Alvarado closed out the game in the ninth inning
#5 The A’s will now head home to begin a three-game series with the Tampa Bay Rays at Sutter Health Park.

The Hispanic Heritage Baseball Museum and Hall of Fame – Induction of Bobby Avila
That’s Amaury News and Commentary
By Amaury Pi-González
On August 15, 2025, Bobby Avila will be inducted into The Hispanic Heritage Baseball Museum and Hall of Fame at a ceremony at Progressive Field, home of the Cleveland Guardians. Family members, museum representatives, and the Cleveland Guardians will be in attendance for the ceremony.
Bobby Avila, born in Veracruz, México, was the first Hispanic player to win a batting title in the major leagues. He achieved this feat in 1954 while playing for the Cleveland Indians, leading the American League with a .341 batting average.
Avila, also known as Roberto “Beto” Avila, played for the Orioles, Red Sox, and Braves during his 11-year career. Avila was also the first Hispanic selected to play in an All-Star Game(1954). Bobby Avila was born on April 2, 1924, and died on October 26, 2004, at the age of 80.
In México, he was known as Roberto “Beto” Avila, and in the United States, as Bobby Avila. Years after he retired and while he was visiting the 1987 All Star Game at Oakland, California I interviewed Avila, a very humble and proud Mexican man who was already involved in Mexico’s politics.
In fact, after his career as a professional baseball player, Ávila entered politics and was elected mayor of his hometown of Veracruz in 1980. He later served two terms in the Mexican national legislature. He was also inducted into the Mexican Professional Baseball Hall of Fame in 1971.
Two Mexican League stadiums are named in his honor: Estadio Beto Ávila in Cancún and Parque Beto Ávila in Veracruz. The most famous Mexican-born baseball player. Fernando Valenzuela said, “Everyone knows who Avila was in Mexico.
He was an inspiration, of course, for Mexican ballplayers to follow to the States and play in the major leagues.” Museum Note: Fiesta Gigantes: This September 14, the Museum will be at Fiesta Gigantes, Oracle Park, San Francisco. Come and visit us.

By Rich Perez
Despite struggling this season, the Connecticut Sun (5-25) gave the Las Vegas Aces (18-14) all they could handle in the first half of their matchup with the two teams tied at the half 45 points apiece. Las Vegas fought back leading after three quarters 70-62 winning the game 94-86 Sunday.
With this win the Aces are tied with the Indiana Fever for fifth place. A’ja Wilson finished the game with 32 points and 20 rebounds. Jackie Young had a 12 point first quarter finishing with 21 points. This was their fourth win in a row.
Game recap: The Aces took their largest lead of the game 14-6 at 5:32 in the opening ten minutes of play. The Sun pushed back erasing the Aces eight point lead cutting it in half 18-14 with 3 1/2 minutes left in the first quarter.
Young started the game with a hot hand already hitting 12 points with two minutes left in the quarter. Every time the Aces extended their lead, the Sun pushed back hard pulling to within two points with under two minutes left on the clock 22-24. With under a minute left in the opening quarter the Sun took a 28-26 lead.
Connecticut had hit five of eight from beyond the arc and the Aces had to contain the Sun’s long ball in the second quarter. After the first ten minutes of play the Sun had taken a 31-27 lead and had gone on a 15 to 3 run. After a hot start, the Aces had really cooled off. Las Vegas already had five turnovers, the Sun only two. Las Vegas had to put the stops on the Sun’s success from beyond the arc.
The Sun did not back down to start the second quarter and in fact continued to extend their lead 39-30 in the opening minutes. This was not the start to the second quarter that Las Vegas had envisioned.
The Sun took a ten-point lead, the largest of the game, 43-33 prompting a time-out for the Aces. After a great first quarter start, the Aces had fallen flat offensively and were struggling defensively.
The Sun’s confidence continued to build as the second quarter wore on leading 45-38 with 4:33 left in the half. Las Vegas needed to trim the Sun’s lead before halftime. The Aces went on a 10-0 run in the final minutes of the second quarter cutting their 12 point deficit to two points. Las Vegas tied up the game at 45 going into the half and it was a new ball game.
The Aces had really turned this game back in their favor in the later minutes of the second quarter. Young had hit 14 points and Wilson was closing in on another double double with 13 points and nine rebounds after two quarters. Las Vegas had to take back control of this game and cut down on the turnovers.
Las Vegas turned this game around in the third quarter taking their largest lead of the game so far with 11 points and leading 70-62 after three quarters.
Connecticut continued to hang around but unlike the second quarter when the Sun pushed, the Aces successfully pushed right back taking an 82-71 lead after the Sun had pulled to within 6 points with 6:35 left in the game.
With 5 1/2 minutes left on the clock Wilson had 28 points and 18 rebounds taking her team to an 86-73 lead. The Aces continue to work their way up the standings. They are without doubt playing with playoff mentality. Their defense really clicked in the second half.
Wilson finished with 20 rebounds, a career high, and 32 points. The Aces locked in defensively to pull off their fourth win in a row.
Game notes: The Aces continued their homestand defeating the struggling Sun Sunday evening at Michelob ULTRA Arena. They had a great win over the Seattle Storm Friday night 90-86 in a nail-biter of a fourth quarter. With the win Friday night the Aces have pulled into sixth place a half game behind the fifth place Indiana Fever. There will be a lot of shuffling as the season enters its final push.
Las Vegas will face a tough assignment on Wednesday evening taking on the New York Liberty but will continue to play with home court advantage before heading out on the road taking on Phoenix on Friday night. Tipoff for the Aces game with the Liberty is scheduled for 6:30 PM PT.

Athletics Stun Orioles 3-2 with Late-Inning Heroics in Camden Yards Thriller
By Mauricio Segura
The Athletics spent most of Saturday afternoon looking for the big hit that just wouldn’t come. For eight innings at Oriole Park at Camden Yards, the A’s offense was a story of scattered singles, long outs, and missed chances. Then, in the top of the ninth, everything changed. A lineup that had been held to a single run suddenly found the clutch bats they had been searching for, and when the dust settled, the Green and Gold had stolen a 3-2 victory from the Baltimore Orioles.
For much of the day, the two clubs traded small jabs rather than haymakers. The early innings were defined by free passes and stranded baserunners. In the top of the first, Shea Langeliers popped out to start the game, Brent Rooker flied to center, and after a Nick Kurtz walk, Colby Thomas ended the frame with another pop out. Baltimore’s opening inning was equally frustrating. They drew three walks, including one to Jackson Holliday leading off, but Gunnar Henderson’s stolen base was all they had to show for it before Jeremiah Jackson struck out with the bases loaded.
Sacramento starter Luis Morales didn’t allow a hit through his first two innings but labored with control, handing out multiple walks. Tyler Ferguson came on in relief in the third and kept Baltimore quiet until the fifth, when Jordan Westburg finally broke the scoreless tie. With two outs, Westburg launched his 14th home run of the season, a fly ball that carried into the left field seats to give the Orioles a 1-0 lead.
Up to that point, the A’s only real threat had come in the third when Rooker singled, only for Kurtz to fly out and end it. That changed in the top of the sixth. Rooker, again the spark, doubled to left and moved to third on a groundout. Colby Thomas delivered the first RBI of the day for Sacramento, bouncing a sharp single into left to bring Rooker home and tie the game 1-1.
Justin Sterner and Sean Newcomb handled the sixth and seventh, but the bottom of the seventh saw the Orioles reclaim the lead. With the score still tied, Alex Jackson doubled on a ball the A’s unsuccessfully challenged for being foul. After a strikeout, pinch-hitter Coby Mayo ripped a double to center, scoring Jackson for a 2-1 Baltimore advantage. Sacramento avoided further damage thanks to Luis Urías’ unassisted double play, but the A’s trailed heading into the late innings.
Dietrich Enns and Keegan Akin kept the A’s bats silent in the seventh and eighth, and by the time the ninth rolled around, the Athletics needed a rally against Baltimore’s bullpen to avoid defeat. Darell Hernaiz worked a leadoff walk to set the table. JJ Bleday struck out, but Gio Urshela’s sharp single to left pushed Hernaiz into scoring position. Manager Mark Kotsay made the call for speed, sending in Lawrence Butler to run for Urshela. That move paid off almost immediately.
Willie MacIver, who had been active defensively all afternoon, turned the game on its head with one swing. He smoked a line drive into the left-field corner for a double, and both Hernaiz and Butler came charging home. Just like that, the A’s were up 3-2, and the dugout roared to life.
Elvis Alvarado, who had finished the eighth, handed the ninth to the A’s defense. Greg Allen struck out swinging for the first out, Dylan Carlson grounded to second for the second, and after Holliday worked yet another walk, the game ended fittingly, with Jordan Westburg, Baltimore’s earlier hero, swinging through strike three.
Sacramento’s win was built less on offensive fireworks and more on patience, timely hitting, and keeping the Orioles from breaking the game open when they had the chance. Pitching depth was key, seven different A’s pitchers combined to hold Baltimore to just six hits, with the bullpen striking out eight in relief of Morales. Brent Rooker’s multi-hit afternoon set the tone offensively, and Colby Thomas’ sixth-inning RBI kept the A’s in striking distance. But the lasting memory will be MacIver’s two-run double in the ninth, the hit that turned a frustrating afternoon into a statement of patient triumph.
The A’s return to Sutter Health Field in West Sacramento Monday night starting pitchers for theTampa Bay Rays RHP Ryan Pepiot (7-9 ERA 3.77) for the A’s RHP Jefferey Springs (10-7 ERA 3.89) first pitch 7:05pm PT.
