SAN FRANCISCO–Although neither team in this Friday night’s game between the playoff eliminated St. Louis Cardinals and your equally frustrated San Francisco Giants had any much to win or lose, one of them, of necessity, had to win or lose. It turned out to be the Giants had to lose, by a score of 6-3.

Before the action began, the Giants announced that they had reinstated right handed reliever Randy Rodríguez from the paternity list. He entered the game in the top of the sixth as San Francisco’s third pitcher and threw a perfect inning. Fellow starboard hurler Mason Black was optioned to the River Cats to make room for him.

The Giants also presented Matt Chapman with the Willie Mac Award for being the team’s most inspirational player. He was the 44th recipient of the award named for number 44, Willie McCovey. It would be hard to find significance in that coincidence. Maybe if he’d have made a splash hit into the cove, it would have been less of a stretch.

Although little was at stake for the teams as a whole, the contest presented a chance for several players to position themselves for 2025. One of those was the Giants’ starting pitcher, Landen Loupp, who needed to show he was sturdy enough and less reliant on his curveball, to join next year’s rotation.

He wasn’t successful. In his 3-2/3 innings on the mound he allowed all six St. Louis runs. All were earned, but one of them was posthumous, coming on a triple to left center by Lars Nootbarr off Taylor Rogers that drove in Nolan Arenado, who had smacked a double into the left field corner.

Those six runs were the only ones St. Louis could muster all night. After Rodríguez finished his work, Camilo Doval and Austin Warren continued to stymie the Cardinals, although the latter allowed them three hits in his two innings of work.

How did some of the other Giants whose proximate future was in doubt stack up against the Cards tonight? Tyler Fitzgerald, playing shortstop, let a ground ball bounce off his chest for an error in the top of the fifth.

Two innings later, there was no shock and awe fanfare for Camilo Doval when he followed Rodríguez to the hill, but he retired all three Cardinals he faced before the crowd sang “Take Me Out to the Ball Game.” Héliot Ramos, who has been suffering from the Jinx of the Rookie All-Star. at least as far as his hitting is concerned, went 0-5 with two strikeouts, lowering his batting average to .270..

Miles Mikolas, a 37 year old veteran control specialist of six MLB seasons and three more with the Yomiuri Giants started for the Cardinals and earned his tenth win of the season, against 11 losses. He surrendered three runs, all earned, on seven hits, one a 430 foot home run to center with Michael Conforto on base that put the Giants up 2-1 in the second.

Mike Yastrzemski’s two bagger to right with Brett Wisley, who had singled, increased their lead to 3-1. It would be the last time a Giant batter crossed the plate. In at least one way, Mikolas’s performance was typical of him. His earned run average remained unchanged at 5.35.

The visitors from the Gateway City sent four more pitchers to the mound, each for an inning. They were, in order, John King, Andrew Kitteridge, Matthew Liberatore, and Ryan Helsely. The last two were the only ones to allow a hit (one apiece). Kitteridge and Liberatore each struck out one batter, and Helsely, two.

The Giants now are 2-10 at Oracle Park in September.

Home plate umpire Jacob Metz threw St. Louis DH Matt Carpenter out of the game in the top of the ninth for arguing a ball-strike call. The Cards had another setback when they appealed Michael Siani’s having been called out on Ramos’s throw to Chapman while trying to advance on Brandon Donovan’s hit to left. Replay confirmed the call.

The Giants will try to even this three game series Saturday, the 28th at 1:05. They’ll throw Blake Snell (5-3, 3.12) against the Cardinals, who will entrust their fate to André Pallante (8-8, 3.71).

M’s, Woo, and 4 relievers blank A’s 2-0 at T Mobile Park to open series

The Oakland A’s were up in Seattle to take on the Mariners on Friday night. The A’s just completed their final homestand at the Oakland Coliseum on Thursday afternoon.

I wasn’t on the plane up to Seattle. However, I’m sure it was an emotional ride for the A’s after putting the seal on history at O.co. The A’s defeated the Texas Rangers in the final game in Oakland 3-2. On Friday, the A’s would begin their final series as the Oakland Athletics in Seattle. The A’s lost to the Seattle Mariners on Friday 2-0.

The A’s pitched well on Friday. The loss went to A’s starter JP Sears, who gave up two earned runs on four hits. Sears was plagued by the long ball, his only blemishes being one in the second and third innings, respectively. The bullpen performance of Hogan Harris and Scott Alexander held the Mariners scoreless the rest of the way.

The A’s offense recorded five hits, but nothing could amount to any runs.

The Mariners’ home runs came off the bat of Mitch Garver in the second inning and Cal Raleigh in the third inning.

Mariners pitching did a tremendous job holding the A’s to no runs. Starter Bryan Woo went five scoreless innings, giving up three hits, with eight strikeouts and a walk to set the tone. Gabe Speier, Gregory Santos, Tayler Saucedo, and Troy Taylor closed out the game for the Mariners in the pen, only giving up two hits.

The A’s will look to bounce back on Saturday as they take on the Mariners in game two of the three-game series in Seattle at 6:40 PM PST. Starting pitchers on Saturday for Oakland RHP Joey Estes (7-9, 4.99) for Seattle RHP Emerson Hancock (4-4, 4.72).

OAKLAND–A Day Which Will Live in Infamy

This is the way the world ends This is the way the world ends Not with a bang but a whimper.” ― T.S. Eliot, “The Hollow Men”

Do not go gentle into that good night. Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

— Dylan Thomas, “Do not go gentle into that good night”

Nothing in life became him like the leaving it. —William Shakeskpeare, Macbeth

Pick your choice of which quotation best describes the Athletics’ long farewell to Oakland and the Coliseum that the people who took them away from us put on Thursday afternoon. From Rickey Henderson and Dave Stewart throwing in tandem the ceremonial first pitches and Barry Zito singing the national anthem to the last out of the 3-2 A’s win their last ever on their home field.

The “LET’S GO OAKLAND” chants yielded to “SELL THE TEAM” in the top of the fifth, showing that even new habits die hard. Meanwhile, an interesting ball game was taking place. In a battle of rookie righties, the A’s sent JT Ginn, who was 0-1, 4.40 between his August 20 call up from Las Vegas and 12:37 Thursday afternoon He earned the win, going 5-1/3 innings and allowing both of the Rangers’ runs, which were earned.

They came in the sixth inning on a walk to Josh Smith, a single to left by Wyatt Langford, a single to right by Adolis García that scored Smith, and Nathaniel Lowe’s force out of García that first base umpire Jordan Baker had called an inning ending double play.

That ruling was appealed but quite rightly confirmed, allowing Langford to score. In all, Ginn lasted 5-1/3 innings and allowed two hits and two walks while striking out four Rangers. He threw 68 pitches, 43 of which counted as strikes, even his record to 1-1, and reduced his ERA to 4.24.

TJ McFarland, Tyler Ferguson, Michel Otáñez, and Mason Miller, who earned his 28th save, held the visitors hitless and scoreless the rest of the way. Miller, who got four outs, had his ninth inning interrupted by a streaker whose ejection was greeted with spontaneous calls to sell the team, accompanied by scoreboard exhortations of “Let’s Go Oakland,” on the scoreboard and loud speakers. A few stink bombs also found their way onto the outfield after that.

For their part, the Rangers gave the nod to Kumar Rocker, their third overall pick in the 2022 draft and one time first round unsigned choice of the Mets and (I believe) the first major league of Indian descent . The Rangers didn’t give him much support, offensive or defensively.

The A’s scored off him in the third on Jacob Wilson weak ground ball single to third, Brent Rooker’s single to center, and Shea Langlier’s sacrifice fly to left. They picked up their third and final run in the fifth when Wilson led off with a single to left and advanced to second when Langford mishandled the ball, allowing JJ Bleday to drive him in with a two out single to center.

So Rocker’s numbers don’t reflect the quality of his outing Texas, but here they are: Three runs, all earned, on seven hits in 4-2/3 innings. He faced 21 Athletics and struck out a pair of them without walking any. 50 of his 73 offerings went into the book as strikes. The loss left him at 0-2, 3..8. Jack Leiter kept the game a tight one, allowing only two hits and three walks in the remaining 3-1/3 innings.

I usually end my dispatches by listing the next home game’s probable pitchers. There’ll be no more of that for the Coliseum,

RIP.

On the Oakland A’s podcast with John Shea:

Coming down to the last few weeks and days has probably been the most taxing of any season that I’ve ever covered. I’ve covered seasons since the early to mid 80s. On both sides of the bay there are all sorts of stuff happening, news developing.

Tears shed especially it’s kind of powerful, sad, and it’s really all unnecessary. I really thought it wouldn’t happen but the baseball owners and the commissioner would come to their senses collectively and realize that Sacramento is bogus and going to Las Vegas is silly.

You have the largest TV markets here in the Bay Area and your just handing it over to the San Francisco Giants to have a one team market of this size west of the Mississippi and their just going to dominate the revenue stream while three teams are in Southern California it makes zero sense and I hope the team stays forever in Sacramento.

On the Oakland A’s podcast with Michael Wagaman:

It’s a very sad day here at the Oakland Coliseum especially for the fans. For me I spent a large chunk of my youth coming here when I moved away to the Central Valley friends convinced me to come to a game and I saw Nolan Ryan throw a no hitter here at the Coliseum.

Rickey Henderson became the all time stolen base leader and there were so many moments. Here’s a fan and again as a sports writer. This place is beautiful and one known fact and this is almost universal for the last 20-30 years.

It is widely recognized around Major League Baseball that the Oakland Coliseum has the reputation of playing the best game day music in the country and that’s legendary from both sides. I’ve spoken to Dusty Baker he loves the vibes.

I have been pushing down all the feelings all season long in the last couple of days it’s been it’s really starting to hit I’ve already cried three times today. It’s just coming here with the family coming here with grandpa, dad, my wife, there is just so much family history let alone Oakland A’s history.

I’ll have those stories to tell it means a lot this stupid building means so much. It’s going to be rough saying goodbye after the final. This A’s team is going to be good pretty soon and there’s lots of guys on this team like Lawrence Butler, Joey Estes, who are starting to reach their peak a little more and those are guys this city will absolutely love.

Oakland A’s podcast with Derrick Nesbitt:

I live in Oakland and I’m one of those people when you drive from the Oakland Airport from the Oakland Hills you always look at this stadium and think about and the numbers you have and it’s not going to be here. I’m a taxpayer here in Oakland and this doesn’t help.

I got into a little bit of trouble saying what I said (on our TV broadcast on Wednesday night) it’s the truth I believe if I’m the person in charge and I have the ability this effects other people’s lives and I want to look my kids in the eyes and say I did the right thing.

I don’t the A’s owner did the right thing to the fans or the City of Oakland it just isn’t right.

It’s emotional you feel it I think more sadness and you feel a lot of memories if you want to equate to anything you compare to a celebration of life. I think there have been fans who rightfully have been very angry. You have to allow those feelings to subside to know that this is the final game at the Coliseum.

It’s a closing chapter in city where this franchise has so much history from Philadelphia, Kansas City, obviously the time in Oakland so special to be able to come in and learn that history but also to learn it through the eyes of the fans.

Oakland, CA

By Lewis Rubman

OAKLAND–The second day of the three day funereal—whoops!, I mean the final homestand—of the late Oakland Athletics ended with the deceased—I mean, departing—squad falling to the Texas Rangers, 5-1. in spite of having outhit their opponents, 9-8 on Wednesday night.

Neither team offered much in the way of starting pitchers. The Athletics gave the nod to Brady Bosso, a 26 year old rookie southpaw who has bounced up and down earlier this season between double A Midland, Triple A Las Vegas, and the team that will be moving to Sin City.

The rookie began the day with an attractive 1-0, 2.33 big league record, but Basso’s appeal slipped profoundly after what amounted to a cameo, three inning appearance. He was tagged with five runs, all earned, six hits, and the loss.

Two of the hits against him were home runs and accounted for four runs, Wyatt Langford’s two run blast to left in the first and Adolis García’s shot, also to left, in the third. He threw 54 pitches, only 28 of which counted as strikes, to 16 batters, and fell to 1-1, 4.03.

Cody Bradford, the Rangers’ starter, reached the major leagues on May 16 of last year and went 4-3, 5.30 for the World Series champion Rangers. He has done much better this year and managed to bring a 6-3, 3.59 record for a Texas team that was eliminated from playoff contention before the A’s.

I wouldn’t say he turned in a better performance than Bosso, just one that wasn’t as bad. He faced 21 batters over 3-2/3 frames while allowing six hits, three walks, and one, earned, run. He didn’t pitch enough innings to earn the win, which went to Matt Festa, the first of three Rangers relievers.

Festa, like the other two members of the Texas bullpen who worked Wednesday night, kept the A’s off the board. Festa did it for 2-1/3 innings. He gave up two hits and struck out an equal number of batters and improved his record to 6-1, 5.56). Andrew Chafin surrendered a hit and notched a K over 1-1/3 innings, and José Leclerc pitched the final 1-2/3 frames without allowing a baserunner.

.A trio of Athletic relief pitchers shut the Rangers out on a total of two hits in the six remaining innings.. The hits came off Joe Boyle, who pitched the fourth, fifth, and sixth episodes. Hogan Harris (two innings) and Grant Holman (one) disposed of the last ten Rangers to come to the plate.

Oakland’s sole run came with two down in the second inning, when Texas right fielder Adolis Garcia misjudged Daz Cameron’s fly by coming in on it while the ball sailed over his head for a triple and Darell Hernáiz singled him home.

The game was punctuated by repeated and voluminous chants of “SELL THE TEAM” and occasional weaker rendition of “Let’s Go, Oakland.”

Lawrence Butler and Brent Rooker had two hit days. Rooker’s were an infield single and a bloop double. Marcus Semien led off the game with his 1,500th career hit.

Thursday, afternoon’s 12:37pm PT game probably will be the last major league baseball game played in the Coliseum or in Oakland. The probable pitchers will be the Athletics’ JT Ginn (0-1 4.40) and the Rangers’ Kumar Rocker (0-1, 2.57). The game has been sold out.

Giants unable to get sweep in 8-2 loss to Diamondbacks to close out 7-2 final road trip

The San Francisco Giants were unable to get back-to-back sweeps to close out their road schedule, as the Arizona Diamondbacks took it to Mason Black and the Giants with an 8-2 win to salvage a game in this series on Wednesday night.

When the Giants embarked on this final road trip to play three teams fighting to get into the Playoffs, it seemed as if it was going to be a disaster. Afterall, they had been swept by the Padres, and as they neared elimination, they were utterly lifeless.

However, the Giants ran into two struggling teams in the Orioles and the Royals. The Giants took two out of three in Baltimore, and they swept the Royals in Kansas City. The Giants then went to Phoenix to play a Diamondbacks’ team that was reeling after a devastating loss on Sunday in Milwaukee, in which they blew an 8-0 lead to the Brewers.

The Giants promptly won the first two games of this series. On Monday, Hayden Birdsong gave the Giants a solid five-inning performance, which helped lead the way to a 6-3 win. Then last night, the Giants’ offense broke out for five home runs, and Logan Webb pitched six strong shutout innings in an 11-0 shellacking of the Diamondbacks.

The Giants now looked to get the sweep in their final road game of the season, and stick that fork in the neck of the Diamondbacks, who were on the verge of falling out of the third and final wild card spot in the National League, and get the sweep. However, there would be a small problem for the Giants, and his name was Zac Gallen.

The roof was closed at Chase Field Wednesday night, just as it was in the first two games of this series, as Gallen and the Diamondbacks took the field. Gallen threw a scoreless inning in the top of the first to start things out.

Mason Black would take the mound for the Giants in the bottom of the first. After having to wiggle out of a jam to pitch a scoreless inning in the bottom of the first in his last start at Kauffman Stadium on Friday, Black had a much easier time throwing a scoreless bottom of the first Wednesday night.

The Giants would get on the board in the top of the second, when Tyler Fitzgerald lined a double to center field to knock in Michael Conforto.

Even though Black was off to a stronger start Wednesday night, things fell apart for him in the bottom of the second. Christian Walker hit a ground-rule double the other way to right to start the inning, and Lourdes Gurriel Jr. hit an opposite-field single to right to tie the game.

Jake McCarthy reached on a fielder’s choice, and Eugenio Suarez walked. That brought up Gabriel Moreno, who singled up the middle and into center field to knock in McCarthy, and the Diamondbacks took the lead. Geraldo Perdomo then walked, and Corbin Carol got Suarez in with a sacrifice fly to right to make it 3-1.

Gallen pitched a one, two, three inning in the top of the third, and established that this was going to be a much different game than the first two of this series.

Black then ran into trouble when he took the mound for the bottom of the third, as he walked a pair of guys and gave up a base-hit, which loaded the bases for Arizona with one out. Black got a brief reprieve when he struck Suarez out swinging for the second out. Black then quickly jumped ahead of Moreno 0-2, but he threw four-straight out of the zone to walk Moreno, and Christian Walker scored to make it 4-1.

Black had just walked his fifth batter of the night, and his lack of control knocked him out of the game. Sean Hjelle finished the bottom of the third, and then proceeded to give up a run of his own in the bottom of the fourth.

As for Gallen, he was nails when his team desperately needed it. He gave up just one run and two hits over six dominant innings, and he walked just two and struck out 11.

Left-hander Taylor Rogers pitched a scoreless bottom of the fifth for the Giants, and Erik Miller followed that up with a scoreless bottom of the sixth. Camilo Doval then threw a one, two, three inning in the bottom of the seventh, his first one, two, three inning since Sept. 7.

The Giants got a run off of Justin Martinez in the top of the eighth to make it 5-2, but any late momentum the Giants had would be snuffed out in the bottom of the eighth. The Diamondbacks would then put the game away against Spencer Bivens, as with runners at the corners and two outs, Pavin Smith hit a home run into the pool in right-center, and it was now 8-2.

A.J. Puk and Kevin Ginkel combined for a scoreless bottom of the ninth, and the Diamondbacks got their desperately-needed win.

Zac Gallen got the win, and Mason Black took the loss.

Diamondbacks’ pitchers combined for 17 strikeouts against the Giants Wednesday night, and every single Giant who took an at-bat struck out.

The Giants fall back to under .500 at 79-80, and they end up going 38-43 on the road. Still, they made their mark in the wild card races in both leagues, and they have every reason to hold their heads high and enjoy their final flight back home to San Francisco.

The Giants went 7-2 on what was expected to be a brutal road trip. Not only was it not the brutal trip we all expected, it was tied for their second-best nine-game road trip in franchise history, and tied for their best nine-game road trip in their 67 years in San Francisco.

As for the Diamondbacks, they improve to 88-71, and they are now a game up on the Braves for the third wild card.

The Diamondbacks were already put in a bind with the Braves and Mets squaring off in Atlanta, but now that Hurricane Helene has caused both Wednesday night’s and Thursday’s game between the Braves and Mets to be postponed to a traditional doubleheader on Monday, the day after the originally-scheduled end of the Regular Season on Sunday.

The Giants will return home to close out the season with a three-game series against the St. Louis Cardinals at Oracle Park starting on Friday night. Landen Roupp (1-1, 2.70 ERA) will make the start for the Giants, and he will be opposed by Miles Mikolas (9-11, 5.35 ERA).

Prior to Friday night’s game, the winner of the 2024 Willie Mac Award will be announced in a pre-game ceremony. The Willie Mac Award is given annually to the Giants’ player—or in rare cases of a tie, players—who best exemplifies the leadership of the late great hall-of-famer, Willie McCovey. The award is voted on by Giants’ players, coaches, trainers and Manager Bob Melvin.

First pitch is currently scheduled for 7:15 p.m. PDT, but with the Willie Mac Award being announced, the first pitch could be pushed back a few minutes.

National League Wild Card Standings:

  1. Padres 91-67 +3.5
  2. Mets 87-70 —
  3. Diamondbacks 88-71 —

Braves 86-71 1.0

Giants News and Notes:

This morning on KNBR’s Murph and Markus, Andrew Baggarly, the Giants beat writer for The Athletic, discussed the future of Farhan Zaidi. Baggarly noted that the Giants’ ownership board has seemed to have lost patience with Zaidi, and that they are leaning towards making a change.

Zaidi’s fate will most likely be determined in the next one to five days.
