New Orleans Pelicans beat Kings, 105-98, to advance to first round of playoffs

By Jerry Feitelberg

The Sacramento Kings, fresh off a huge thumping of the Golden State Warriors last Tuesday night, were beaten by the New Orleans Pelicans. The Pelicans’ star forward, Zion Williamson, suffered a leg injury in the loss to the Los Angeles Lakers Tuesday night. The Pelicans are now the eighth seed in the Western Conference and will face the Oklahoma City Thunder on Sunday night in OKC. The Lakers are the seventh seed and will play the defending NBA Champions, the Denver Nuggets. The Pelicans were in control for most of the game defeating and knocking out the Kings of the post season with a 105-98 play in win at Smoothie King Arena.

The Kings had met the Pelicans five times during the regular season. The Pelicans won all five. In one game, with Williamson injured, the Pelicans put 130 points on the board to beat the Kings. The Kings had two key players out with injuries. Malik Monk, a great coming off the bench, and Kevin Huerter, a good three-point threat, would not dress for the game.

The Kings hoped that Keegan Murray could play as he did against the Warriors. Murray put 32 points on the board and made eight threes. Rookie Keon Ellis, who was undrafted from the University of Alabama, scored fifteen against the Warriors, and his defense slowed down Stephen Curry’s efforts last Tuesday night.

One of the keys to the Pelicans’ win was their bench. The Pelican bench outscored the Kings’ bench 34-12. The Pelicans had three bench players in double figures. Larry Nance, Jr had 13, Naji Marshall,11, and Jose Alvarado 10. The Kings’ Damion Mitchell had ten for Sacramento.

The Pelicans and Kings started the game with a highly competitive first quarter, with the Kings managing to edge ahead with a 24-22 win. However, the Pelicans’ offense came alive in the second quarter, scoring 32 points and holding the Kings to just 21 points. This strong performance allowed the Pelicans to finish the first half with a 54-45 lead, a lead they would maintain for the rest of the game.

The Kings won the second half 53-51, but it was not enough to overcome the nine-point first-half deficit. De’Aaron Fox led the Kings with 35 points. Fox was an offensive force, but he could do it alone. The Kinks’ Domantis Sabonis had a double-double with 23 points and 14 rebounds.

Sabonis showed off his passing skills as he recorded seven assists. Former Warrior Harrison Barnes tallied 17 points. Keegan Murray had a tough night. He was brilliant against the Warriors last Tuesday. He was a dud on Friday night in New Orleans. Murray scored 11 points and made two three-pointers and seven tries. Keon Ellis, who played so well against Golden State, did not score a point. 

Brandon Ingram led the Pelicans with 24 points. The Pelicans’ big man, Jonas Valanciunas, had a double-double with 19 points and 12 boards. Trey Murphy added 16. The veteran guard, C.J. McCollum, tallied seven. Even with McCollums’ off-night, the Pelicans had enough firepower to beat the Kings.

The playoffs start on Sunday. The Pelicans face the OKC Thunder, the Lakers play the Nuggets, the Minnesota Timberwolves tip off against the Phoenix Suns, and the Los Angeles Clippers play the Dallas Mavericks.

In the Eastern Conference first round, the Boston Celtics will play the Miami Heat, The New York Knicks will see the Philadelphia 76ers, The Milwaukee Bucks will go against the Indiana Pacers, and the Cleveland Cavaliers will battle the Orlando Magic.

It had to be a crushing defeat for the Kings. The Kings had a year to think about their loss to the Warriors last year, who beat them in the seven-game series. The Warriors and the Kings will be in the playoffs this year. The Kings’ front office will have to assess their roster and make moves to get them back into the playoffs next year.

By Troy Ewers

SAN FRANCISCO–Winners of two straight for just the second time this season, the San Francisco Giants (9-12) will look to make it three in a row in the second game of this four-game series with the Arizona Diamondbacks (10-11).

Giants starter Blake Snell makes his third start with SF tonight (second here at Oracle Park). Snell has allowed 10 runs on nine hits (12.86 ERA) over his previous two outings while striking out nine. On the other side, Jordan Montgomery will make his D-Backs debut after he was signed to a 1-year contract on March 29th. The Giants got blitzed by Diamondback hitting late in the game getting squashed 17-1 coming away on Friday night at Oracle Park.

Snell had a good first two innings, but Arizona began to pick at him in the third. Blaze Alexander hit what appeared to be a home run, but after review it hit part of the wall and was ruled a ground rule double. Ketel Marte would then hit an RBI single and score Alexander, 1-0 Arizona. 

In the fourth inning Alexander got another double and scored Eugenio Suarez who got on from a walk, 2-0 Arizona. For the Giants, Jorge Soler brought the score within one run with a leadoff solo homer, 2-1 when we ended the 4th. First home run for the Giants at home this season. 

The Diamondbacks piled on Snell in the 5th inning as Christian Walker hit an RBI single and Randal Grichuk hit an RBI double which scored 3 runs total in the inning and that was it for Blake Snell. He ended his night wih 9 hits and 5 runs on him and his slump continues.

Landen Roupp was on the mound after Snell and in the 7th the D-Backs didn’t stop the offensive assault. Bases loaded, Gabriel Moreno got a double that earned 2 insurance runs, 7-1 Arizona, but after Alexander got on base with a walk, Kevin Newman hit a single and scored 2 more runs, 9-1 Diamondbacks. 

Jordan Mongomery left in the seventh, but stood on business in his D-Backs debut. Only four hits and one run during his outing, the one run being Soler’s homer. 

In the eighth inning if the game wasn’t over already, it was official this inning. Six runs scored for the Diamondbacks. Four of those runs came from Blaze Alexander, his third hit of the night was a grand slam, his first grand slam of his career. 15-1 D-Backs. 

The Giants brought in Tyler Fitzgerald to pitch and two more runs scored for Arizona, 17-1. The Giants had one last chance to pull off an amazing comeback and nothing came from it. 

Jordan Montgomery gets the win and Blake Snell gets the loss, his third. 

Next game in the series will be a day game April 20th with Kyle Harrison (2-1, 4.70) for the Giants and Zac Gallen (3-0, 1.64) for the Diamondbacks on the mound first ptich at 1:05pm PDT.

A’s Get Pummeled By Guardians 10-2

By Barbara Mason

It was matching bookends for the Oakland A’s (8-12) Friday night as they took on the Cleveland Guardians (14-6). They opened the game with an Abraham Toro home run and added a Brent Rooker home run in the ninth inning. The only problem, the Guardians piled a bunch of runs throughout the rest of the game for a 10-2 win.

Game recap: Oakland got this game going in the first inning with an Abraham Toro home run taking the early 1-0 lead. The Guardians answered in the bottom of the second inning with a homer of their own. Tyler Freeman hit a 2-run homer with Will Brennan on base taking a 2-1 lead.

The Guardians broke this game wide open in the bottom of the fifth inning scoring five runs. Steven Kwan got the flurry of hits going with a double driving both Bo Naylor and Esteven Florial home for a 4-1 lead. Cleveland was just getting started.

Andres Gimenez singled driving two more runners home, Brayan Rocchio and Steven Kwan, extending Cleveland’s lead to 6-1. The Guardians scored one more run in the fifth inning when Jose Ramirez singled Gimenez home for a 7-1 lead.

The inning mercifully came to an end for the A’s. They were facing an uphill battle through the next four innings. The hits were not showing up for Oakland struggling against Cleveland pitcher Triston McKenzie. McKenzie pitched through five innings allowing 3 hits and one run with 6 strikeouts. Tim Herrin relieved him in the 6th inning allowing no hits, no runs with 2 strikeouts.

The Guardians Tyler Beede took the mound to start the 7th inning pitching two back-to-back strikeouts and a ground-out to retire the A’s. Oakland pitcher Kyle Muller took over on the mound in the bottom of the 7th inning. Muller got through the inning allowing only one hit as Cleveland continued to lead 7-1.

Seth Brown left JJ Bleday, who had singled, stranded in the 8th inning when he grounded out to first and this game went into the bottom of the eighth. The A’s allowed their 11th home run of the season off the bat of Josh Naylor for an 8-1 Cleveland lead.

An outfield error from Seth Brown, his first of the season, allowed Tyler Freeman to score for an 9-1 lead. Next at bat for the Guardians Esteven Florial singled Bo Naylor home and the Guardians had built a 10-1 lead going into the ninth inning.

The A’s were able to add another run in the ninth inning, a home run, off the bat of Brent Rooker for a final score of 10-2. The A’s finished this game with 6 hits to the 9 hits from Cleveland.

Game notes: After avoiding a sweep Wednesday, the A’s who beat the St. Louis Cardinals 6-3 in the first series of this road trip at Busch Stadium in St Louis. Friday night Oakland got clobbered by the Cleveland Guardians at Progressive Field in Cleveland 10-2. The A’s faced some hitters against Cleveland, to start the three game series, which will be followed by a four game series starting Monday against the Yankees. Oakland will be challenged in both of these matchups, in fact, they have a slew of tough games coming up the pike. Oakland’s Joe Boyle took the mound in this game and lasted six innings giving up five hits on seven earned runs. Triston McKenzie started for the Guardians went five innings giving up three hits and one earned run.

It was a rough outing for Oakland to start this road trip. The A’s will take on the Guardians Saturday in game two of their series with first pitch at 3:10 PM. Alex Wood (0-1 ERA 8.10) will take the mound for Oakland and Logan Allen (2-0 ERA 5.05) will get the nod for the Guardians.

Oakland A’s Relocation podcast with Daniel Dullum: Are there any comparisons between the Coyotes move to the A’s relocation?

Published on by Sports Radio ServiceLeave a comment

The Arizona Coyotes of the NHL will soon make their new home at the Delta Center in Salt Lake City for the 2024-25 NHL season as they played their last game in Tempe Arizona on Thu Apr 17, 2024. The relocation was immediate as opposed to the Oakland A’s who will finish (photo by the Utah Jazz)

On the Oakland A’s Relocation podcast with Daniel:

#1 Daniel, you covered the NHL Arizona Coyotes for years and they’re final game was on Wednesday night in a 5-2 in at Mullet Arena in Tempe which was the final and last game for the Coyotes as they will now move to Salt Lake City. It was a heartbreaking scene how foretelling is this when the Oakland A’s finally play their final game at Oakland Coliseum later this season?

#2 Daniel, You take a look at the fans in Arizona they didn’t have plans to do anything as this deal was floated by the NHL and the owner of the Utah Jazz Ryan Smith wasted no time and took the opportunity to purchase and move the Coyotes with little hesitation.

#3 Daniel, in the Coyotes move they did it a week’s time or less with very little warning. Giving Coyotes fans no time to protest, no time for a reverse boycott, and after the game they basically backed up the truck and called it a day. The feeling for the Coyotes fans that their team was relocating was something of a shock and a lot of heartbreak.

#4 The NHL team in Salt Lake City will be called Utah and no nickname has been discussed yet. They’re last team they had was a minor league AHL team called the Golden Eagles. The Eagles name in the AHL is now the Colorado Eagles. This won’t be a problem for the A’s as the A’s will be known as the A’s in Sacramento and Las Vegas.

#5 The shock value is the thing that everybody is talking about in Arizona that this could happen so fast that a team can relocate that quickly with almost little notice. For the Oakland A’s fans, employees, front office, media and even the players there is a percentage of them will not be going to Sacramento with the A’s when they make the trip north. But as opposed to the Coyotes staff and employees the A’s personnel and contractors have this season to get ready for the layoff and move to Sacramento by season’s end.

Webb retires 19 straight hitters in Giants shutout over Diamondbacks 5-0 at Oracle Park

San Francisco (9-11). 001 000 04x. 5. 8. 0

SAN FRANCISCO–Returning from an exhausting six day, six game visit to Florida’s two coasts, in which they went a combined 3-3 against the Miami Marlins and Tampa Bay Rays, the San Francisco Giants (9-11) returned to their home on McCovey Cove to face the landlocked Arizona Diamondbacks (9-11) this evening.

Looking at the pitching matchups, it looked like a chance for the home team to finally start playing at a level that the mid-spring training acquisitions of Matt Chapman and Blake Snell seemed to predict. Snell still was rounding himself into shape, but the Giants were sending Logan Webb, the runner up to Snell in last year’s Cy Young voting, against Arizona’s sophomore right hander Ryne Nelson, and his unprepossessing record of 1-2,5.27 complimenting his rookie numbers of 7-8, 5.53.

But a quick glance at the Diamondback’s media notes yields an unsettling bullet point in its summary of Nelson’s ’23 season: “On June 25 @ Giants, tossed a career-high-tying 7.0 innings. . .retired 15 consecutive batters after a first-inning walk to J.D. Davis and was 1 strikeout short of tying his career high of 7 set in his Major League debut.”

Webb, following his one run, six hit win over the Rays five days ago in St. Petersburg, was in fine fettle tonight, retiring 19 Arizonans in a row between two first inning singles and a one out walk in the seventh. In total, he labored seven frames and allowed only those two hits and that walk.

No other Diamondback reached base safely He logged five strikeouts and threw 102 pitches, 66 of them strikes. He earned the win in San Francisco’s thrilling 5-0 triumph in a game that was closer than its final score would indicate. Webb’s performance improved his record to 2-1, 2.93.

Nelson didn’t get a chance to strut his stuff tonight. Mike Yastrzemski lined the Diamondback’s starter’s 27th offering back to the box, where it caroomed off Nelson’s pitching elbow, which suffered a contusion. The injured hurler retrieved the pellet and threw it to first to end the second inning. He didn’t come out for the third in what was at that point a scoreless tie and so wasn’t involved in the decision

Patrick Bailey greeted Logan Allen, Nelson’s replacement, with a double to left. The Giants escaped The Curse of the Leadoff Double when, one out later Lee got his second straight single on a ball hit just past short and into left center field that was scored as another infield hit. LaMonte Wade, Jr’s sacrifice fly to center put San Francisco ahead, 1-0.

That was all the scoring that the orange and black could muster against Allen in his valiant 4-2/3 innings of emergency relief, over which he allowed three hits and a walk before giving way to Bryce Jarvis with two down in the home seventh.

Tyler Rogers pitched a scoreless top of the eighth, helped by a sensational diving catch by Yastrzemski of Gabriel Moreno’s leadoff dying quail to right.

Jarvis had a rough time in the home half of the eighth. Ex Diamondback Ahmed started things with a leadoff double. Lee reached first on an error by second baseman Ketel Marte. Wade walked to load the bases. Soler forced Ahmed out at home on a grounder to short. Manager Torey Lovullo yanked Jarvis and called on Kyle Nelson to stop the Giants’ rally.

He didn’t. Wilmer Flores pinch hit for Conforto and slammed a double to left, which brought in Lee and Wade. Lee’s tally was unearned. Arizona decided to grant Matt Chapman an intentional walk, making the bases FOG, full of Giants, Estrada flew out to right.

Then Yastrzemski came through with a sharp single to right to plate Soler and Austin Slater, pinch running for Flores, and put San Francisco definitively ahead, 5-0. Bailey’s strikeout ended the inning. All the runs but Slater’s were charged to Jarvis.

Ryan Walker needed only 13 pitches to strike out the three Diamondbacks he faced in the t0p of the ninth to nail down the victory. Jung Hoo Lee’s two singles extended his hitting streak to 10 games.

Arizona’s Jordan Montgomery will make his first appearance of the season Friday, evening at 7:15. Blake Snell (0-1, 12.86) we’ll see if he’s gotten into shape when he takes the mound for the Giants.

#1 San Francisco Giants pitcher rookie Keaton Winn went six innings and gave up just a run, gave up four hits and struck four batters and it stood up as the Giants wound up defeating the Miami Marlins at Loan Depot Park 3-1 on a Wednesday matinee.

#2 The Giants got hitting help from Thairo Estrada who got two hits and ended up scoring the go ahead run in the top of the seventh inning. Estrada can be clutch at times and he was the key player on Wednesday.

#3 Estrada has some speed too he had to race home when Nick Ahmed hit into a double play against Marlins pitcher DeClan Cronin.

#4 Winn who picked up his first win at 1-3 said that it was nice to get the monkey off his back and wasn’t trying to think of it and the win just came.

#5 The Giants return back to San Francisco tonight here at Oracle Park as they open a four game series against the Arizona Diamondbacks. The Diamondbacks are just ahead of the fourth Giants in third place and like the Giants are playing .500 ball winning five of their last ten games.
