WEST SACRAMENTO, Calif. — The Sacramento A’s and Minnesota Twins played game two of their three-game series on Tuesday night at Sutter Health Park. The A’s, who have struggled mightily against the AL Central division this year (5-21 entering Tuesday’s action), tried to get back on track against a team vying for a wild-card spot.

The A’s evened the series with the Twins as they defeated them 4-2. With the win, the A’s improved to 52-81 as the Twins fell to 64-68. Gage Jump got the win and is now 6-8 on the season.

It was Gage Jump who took the ball for the A’s on Tuesday in what was his 17th appearance of the season (all starts). Jump was really solid for the A’s in a game that they desperately needed some length from their starter. Jump cruised through six innings for the A’s before running into some trouble in the seventh inning, where he gave up two runs. All in, Jump gave up just two runs on three hits while walking two and striking out nine Twins hitters across his outing. He left with the lead and turned the ball over to the bullpen with one out in the seventh inning after throwing 94 pitches.

“His mechanics looked great,” Mark Kotsay said about Gage Jump after the game. “He made a conscious effort to stay in line and pound the zone. Probably I would say, I don’t want to say it was his best outing, but it was definitely one of the top for him to get into the seventh inning…”

“Frustrated with how it finished, but I think overall compared to my last couple of outings, the efficiency was better,” Jump said after the game. “[I was] landing breaking balls in zone early, landing the changeup in zone early. So all that stuff, the execution was much better. So that’s what I was happy about.”

First out of the bullpen for the A’s was Hogan Harris, pitching in what is probably not his normal inning, but a high-leverage situation Mark Kotsay wanted one of his best relievers for. Harris got the final two outs of the seventh inning, albeit allowing one inherited runner to score. Harris was charged with one hit and a walk with one strikeout across his two-thirds of an inning of work.

In the eighth inning, it was Luis Medina on for the A’s. Medina was sharp as he allowed nothing in his one inning of relief while striking out one in what was a stress-free affair for the young right-hander.

In the ninth inning, the A’s went to Elvis Alvarado to close things out. Alvarado had a flawless ninth inning to record the save for the A’s and wrap up what was a pretty clean pitching game for the A’s.

On the offensive side of the ball, the A’s managed four runs on just seven hits and one walk in the ballgame.

The A’s first two runs came in the second inning courtesy of Carlos Cortes. Cortes blasted a two-run home run over the wall in right field to give the A’s the early 2-0 lead. It was the eighth home run for Cortes and RBIs 36 and 37 for the outfielder. The home run left the bat at 100.5 mph and landed 391 feet from home plate.

The rest of the A’s scoring came in the sixth inning when the A’s scored two more runs. The first of the two runs came when Tommy White doubled home Lawrence Butler for his eighth RBI of the season and his fourth double. Later that inning, it was Donovan Walton who hit an RBI single to give the A’s their fourth and final run of the game. It was the 19th RBI for Walton and gave the A’s the 4-0 lead at the time.

The A’s and Twins will play the rubber game of the three-game series on Wednesday at 6:40 p.m. PDT at Sutter Health Park. J.T. Ginn (8-8, 3.60 ERA) will take the ball for the A’s on Wednesday as the Twins will counter with Connor Prielipp (3-7, 5.57 ERA).

He was a Giant? series: Heavy Hitters & Plump Pitchers Weighing in on the All-Time Gargantuan Giants 

Published on by Sports Radio ServiceLeave a comment

Former New York Giants manager John McGraw who has the most wins of any manager in MLB history (photo from facebook)

 Hitters & Plump Pitchers:  Weighing in on the All-Time Gargantuan Giants::

By Tony the Tiger Hayes

Just as there is no “crying in baseball”, there’s no place for “fat shaming”  either. Not only is mocking someone’s weight mean-spirited and cruel, in baseball, a wispy waistline, six-pack abs and  sculpted biceps and thighs don’t necessarily guarantee success. 

Chunky former All-Star John Kruk nailed it when he responded to a rude question regarding his weight, retorting: 

“Lady, I’m not an athlete, I’m a professional baseball player.”

The baseball Hall of Fame – from Babe Ruth and Hack Wilson to C.C. Sabathia and Tony Gwynn  – is filled with many jumbo sized legends. 

The Giants recently debuted husky 23-year-old LHP Matt “Tugboat” Wilkinson. The chunky 6’1, 270 pound Canadian kid has a vast midriff rivaling the Great White North in expanse. 

In his MLB debut, “Tugboat” tossed two scoreless innings. His future is bright in San Francisco. 

So we decided there’s no better time than to take to a look at the Top 10 New York/San Francisco Giants all-time players with BMI’s that might give members of the World Health Organization heart palpitations.

  • John McGraw. We start with the O.G.: Obese Giant. The pudgy legendary manager helmed the Giants for 30 years during the franchise’s height of popularity in New York City, winning World Series titles in 1905 and 1921-22. Though he was sinewy during his playing days, McGraw developed an impressive boiler as Giants field general from 1902-32. 
  • Tom Sheehan. When Bill Rigney was abruptly dismissed as manager in mid-1960. Giants president Horace Stoneham seeming gave the interim skipper job to the first person he turned to at the saloon, team adviser and drinking buddy Sheehan.

At that point the portly  Sheehan  was 66 and had not worn a big league uniform in more than  three decades. 

 Sheehan, was so roly-poly, the Giants didn’t immediately have a uniform large enough to fit him. So Sheehan managed his first few games in an Orange & Black satin wind breaker and his own gaberdine slacks. 

  • Herman Franks. Unlike “Ballpark Franks” that “plump when you cook them” former New York Giants catcher Franks was already plump when he took over the Giants managerial reins in 1965. 
  • John Pregenzer. For a period from 1963 to 1964, Pregenzer – a gargantuan 6-foot-5, 250 pounder – made headlines when a 30-something year-old San Francisco Chronicle newsroom employee named Novella O’Hara started the “John Pregenzer Fan Club” upon hearing the Giants had acquired the unestablished spectacles-sporting pitcher from Pittsburgh for the low, low price of $100. 
  • Rick Reuschel. “Big Daddy” came as advertised. A behemoth 6’3, 260 pounder, Rick resembled a beefy tuba player in a polka band. But the comically large right-hander was deceiving with his athleticism. A  fantastic pitcher, Reuschel significantly helped the Giants to division title in 1987 and the division and NL crowns in 1989 while never missing a meal in North Beach. 
  • Livan Hernandez. After defecting from his native Cuba in the mid-1990s it was rumored that the once angular RHP ate nothing but Big Macs for a solid year. By the time he arrived in San Francisco, livin’ large Livo was a plus-sized pitcher. Though he is probably best known for losing game 7 of the 2002 World Series, Hernandez posted a winning ledger in his five seasons with the club.  
  • Juan Uribe. Unlike the slight Jose Uribe who held down the Giants shortstop job in their late ‘80s glory days, cousin Juan was burly  and thickset, but also a winning player and a major component of the Giants 2010 world championship club, smoking a career high 24 home runs and contributing many key hits in the postseason. 
  • Sidney Ponson. After his first game with the Giants – after being acquired from Baltimore in mid-2003 – the bloated Sir Sidney was spotted  on Fisherman’s Wharf chowing down on a plate of Hooters chicken wings. The beer and fried food aficionado wasn’t asked back in 2004.   
  • Gene Machi. There are well-rounded athletes and then there are simply round athletes like 6’0, 260 pound relief pitcher Machi who helped the 2014 Giants to a third World Series title in five years, posting a 7-1 record in a team high 71 games. 
  • Rod Beck. This easy to love stout closer was a beer guzzling, cigarette smoking regular dude. With his ample belly, trailer trash  mullet  and a fu Manchu  ‘stache Beck was was one of most original looking Giants ever. 

Pablo Sandoval. Early on in his Giants career, team officials tried like hell to keep the rotund Sandoval’s weight down. But at a certain point they just gave up and it really didn’t seem to make a difference. The “Kung Fu Panda” hit whether he was in shape or not. Pablo was a major contributor to three Giants World Series winning clubs, taking home MVP honors in the 2012 Fall Classic sweep of Detroit.  

A’s Late Comeback Falls Short in 9-6 Loss to Twins

WEST SACRAMENTO–Returning home to Sutter Health Park after a rough 2-5 road trip last week, the Sacramento A’s welcomed the Minnesota Twins to Sacramento on Monday night at 6:40 p.m. PDT. The A’s, who are well past the point of saving their season, looked to play spoiler to the Twins. The Twins entered play on Monday only two games out of a wild-card spot in the AL, albeit with a record substantially under the .500 mark, at 63-68. 

The Twins defeated the A’s in game one of the series, 9-6, as Jeffrey Springs took the loss in the game (his 12th of the season). The Twins improved to 64-68 as the A’s fell to 51-81.

A’s workhorse Jeffrey Springs got the nod on Monday to begin the series with the Twins. It was the 24th appearance for Springs this season (all starts), as he has had a rough go of it, allowing league-high totals in earned runs (76) and home runs (29) entering Monday’s action. Springs pitched OK for the A’s on Monday, some would say a solid outing for the way his 2026 has gone, but he was only able to get through four and two-thirds innings. Springs ran into immediate trouble in the first inning when he gave up a run, but he managed to limit the damage in the hopes of going deep in the game. Overall, Springs gave up four runs on seven hits while walking two, striking out three and giving up a home run, which has been his nemesis all season.

“A couple mistakes that obviously got hit, but overall a few ground balls that found holes,” Mark Kotsay said of Springs after the game. “I felt like there was a lot of soft contact. He obviously probably would feel like he didn’t execute as well as he needs to with some mislocation on the balls that got hit.”

The A’s bullpen had to put in major work on Monday with the early exit of an A’s starter, yet again.

Mark Kotsay elected to go to Hayden Juenger first out of the bullpen. Juenger finished the fifth inning in place of Springs and only got one out in the sixth inning. Across his two-thirds of an inning of relief, Juenger gave up three runs on three hits while walking one and striking out none.

Next up, Kade Morris came on in relief in the sixth inning. Morris pitched the rest of the sixth, seventh and eighth innings. Across his two and two-thirds innings of relief, Morris allowed two runs on five hits while walking no one and striking out two Twins hitters. It was a solid outing for Morris, who gave the A’s the length they needed after the abbreviated start from Springs.

Last out of the bullpen for the A’s was Drew Rom, who pitched the top of the ninth inning to close things out on the pitching side for the A’s. Rom managed to throw a scoreless inning where he allowed just one hit in the frame.

On the offensive side of the ball, the A’s had their opportunities, but they only managed six runs against the Twins pitching staff on 12 hits and three walks.

The A’s first run came in the third inning when Lawrence Butler brought home Henry Bolte with an RBI single up the middle of the field. The RBI was the 39th of the season for the right fielder, who has played much better since the All-Star break in July.

The A’s second run of the game came in the eighth inning when Tommy White hit an RBI sacrifice fly to bring home Henry Bolte. It was White’s seventh RBI of the year and Bolte’s second run of the game. Bolte also had three hits in the game (all singles) to bring his hit total in August to 30.

The A’s next two runs came in the ninth inning as Jeff McNeil hit a two-RBI double to score Jonah Heim and Henry Bolte to give the A’s their third and fourth runs of the game. They were RBIs 44 and 45 for the A’s current first baseman in Nick Kurtz’s absence due to injury.

The A’s fifth run of the game came a batter later as Zack Gelof hit an RBI double of his own that scored Jeff McNeil. It was Gelof’s 13th double of the year and his 37th RBI of the campaign.

However, the A’s weren’t done yet. Lawrence Butler came up and hit the third straight RBI double for the A’s as he drove home Zack Gelof and ended up at second base. It was Butler’s 40th RBI of the season and his 15th double.

That was all the A’s offense could muster as they mounted a late comeback that fell just short of what they needed.

The A’s will stay home to take on the Twins in game two of the three-game series on Tuesday at 6:40 p.m. PDT. Gage Jump (5-8, 4.83 ERA) is slated to take the ball for the A’s as the Twins will counter with Taj Bradley (9-5, 3.90 ERA).

Rafael Devers

Giants get back on track at home, cruise to 5-0 victory over Reds

By Vince Cestone

SAN FRANCISCO — After a disastrous 1-5 road trip through Cleveland and Boston, the San Francisco Giants just needed some home cooking to get back on track, as they defeated the Cincinnati Reds at Oracle Park on Monday night 5-0.

The Giants got on the board early and never looked back. In the bottom of the first inning, center fielder Drew Gilbert hit a ground-rule double to right-center field to get the Giants going. Then, first baseman Rafael Devers singled to advance Gilbert to third. Gilbert was then singled home by Jung Hoo Lee, and the Giants were off to a quick 1-0 lead. With Devers advancing to third on Lee’s single, rookie outfielder Turner Hill doubled to right field, scoring Devers and giving San Francisco an early 2-0 lead. The Giants could’ve been up 3-0, but Lee was thrown out trying to score on Hill’s double. The next two batters struck out, and the Giants settled for just two runs in the inning.

San Francisco got back to work in the very next inning. After two quick outs in the bottom of the second inning, Christian Koss singled to start the rally. Gilbert then doubled to left field, advancing Koss to third. That set it up for Devers, who then hit a long home run to right-center field, past the 415-foot marker in Triple’s Alley. The Giants were then up 5-0, which was more than enough for the Giants to cruise to victory. The home run was Devers’ 27th of the year.

Gilbert and Devers each ended up going 2-for-4 on the night. Koss went 2-for-3.

On the pitching side, the Giants were superb, a rarity for the struggling Giants’ pitching staff. But after starting pitcher Carson Whisenhunt threw 2 2/3 scoreless innings, he had to leave the game with an injury. He had struck out three batters on two hits and one walk. It’s a shame for Whisenhunt because he could’ve been on his way to his best start of the year. Whisenhunt left the game with an apparent left arm injury. Jason Foley relieved Whisenhunt with 1 1/3 perfect innings, with three strikeouts. The rest of the bullpen didn’t give up a run for the rest of the game.

For the Reds, the pitching wasn’t so good. In 3 2/3 innings, starting pitcher Chase Burns surrendered five runs on nine hits, while walking one and striking out five. But the Reds bullpen did not allow a hit or run in the game.

Giants designated hitter and first baseman Bryce Eldridge was not in the lineup on Monday night because he was on the bereavement list. He is attending his grandfather’s funeral in Virginia and is expected to be back later this homestand against the Arizona Diamondbacks.

Up next, the Giants will go for the series win on Tuesday night against the Reds. Adrian Houser (4-7, 4.08 ERA) will take on Brady Singer (5-11, 4.72 ERA). Game time is at 6:45 p.m. at Oracle Park.

If the Giants want to avoid losing 100 games, they may want to start winning some games now–at least until they play more games against the Los Angeles Dodgers.

That’s Amaury News and Commentary: The Athletics and the Atrociuos The American League West

The Athletics and the Atrocious The American League West

That’s Amaury News and Commentary

By Amaury Pi-González

My dad used to tell me (in Spanish): “En la tierra del ciego, el tuerto es rey.”In the land of the blind, the one-eyed man is king

That is the situation in the American League West: as of today, the five teams are under .500, but somebody will eventually win it. Monday, the Houston Astros dismissed their General Manager, Dana Brown. On August 7, the Athletics dismissed David Forst, their longtime general manager; earlier, on June 27, the Los Angeles Angels axed their GM, Perry Minasian. 

Of the five General Managers in the division, only two are still employed: Texas Rangers Ross Fernstermaker and Seattle Mariners Justin Hollander. Is the guillotine greased and ready in Texas and Seattle? That would be something.

Today: One of the top candidates for MVP in the American League is Cuban-born Jordan Alvarez of the Houston Astros. He would not be the first MVP to win the league playing for a bad team. In 1958, Cubs shortstop Ernie Banks won it, with a club record of 72-82, Ernie (Let’s play two) Banks was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 1977.

Trivia: See how good you are, and are you surprised?  

Q: Who owns the record for the longest General Manager tenure in MLB history without being fired?

A: Brian Cashman is the Senior Vice President and General Manager of the New York Yankees. He has held this role since 1998, making him the longest-serving general manager in franchise history until today. That is 28 years and counting,

General Managers’ Salaries? Major League Baseball General Managers earn between $1 million and $4 million per year, but some elite executives make up to $5 million to $ 10 million annually.

Quote: “It is the nature of being the general manager of a baseball team that you have to remain on familiar terms with people you are continually trying to screw”

Famous quote by author Michael Lewis in his bestselling book Moneyball.
