That’s Amaury’s News and Commentary: Trade Dealine Monday A’s should do “Nada”

Trade Dealine Monday: A’s should do “Nada”

That’s Amaury News and Commentary

Amaury Pi-González

The Oakland Athletics should not be busy when the trade deadline arrives on Monday the 31. Why should they? They are set at every position, including second base, shared by Tony Kemp and Chad Pinder. Their starting pitching is set and their bullpen is one of the tops in baseball.

In previous seasons the A’s have added a pitcher or two, most recent lefty reliever Jake Diekman, acquired mid-July last year in a trade with the Kansas City Royals. It is very improbable that the A’s are going to add to their bullpen, via acquisition or trade.

Of all the regular position players in the team, there is one rookie playing the catching position. Sean Murphy, for a few years he was the catcher of the future for the A’s and in 2020 he got the opportunity. Last year Murphy divided time between the minors and the majors. He launched 15 home runs in a total of just 61 games.

During Spring Training this is what Manager Bob Melvin said about Murphy. “We have been waiting for ‘Murph’ for a couple of years now,” and continued. “We have to keep him healthy” – he has dealt with some knee injuries and hasn’t had a full workload – but this is the type of a guy a catcher [turned] manager waits for.

The A’s continue their longest road-trip of the season, ten games. At Arlington vs. Rangers where they are playing a long 4-game set, then three (3) during the weekend at Houston vs. Astros, followed by three (3) more at Seattle vs. Mariners. Returning to Oakland for a seven (7)game home stand beginning September 4 against San Diego Padres for three (3) and the Houston Astros for four (4).

Super-utility Chad Pinder was placed on paternity leave as the team recalled outfielder Seth Smith. Pinder was batting .200 with two home runs and six runs batted in 17 games. Melvin has used Pinder and Kemp at second base, and without Pinder, he could also use young Luis Barreto at second base. 25-yeard old A’s catcher Jonah Heim made his major league debut last night at Arlington He got his first hit in the A’s 10-3 win over the Rangers. The A’s are “locked and loaded”to use an old Army term.

A day like today: August 26, 1980. George Brett strokes four singles and a double in five at-bats when the Royals edge Milwaukee at County Stadium, 7-6. The Kansas City third baseman’s 5-for-5 performance raises his league-leading batting average to .407. George Brett ended the season with a .390 average.

Solano with walk-off gives Giants their seventh win a row 10-8 in 11th

Published on by Sports Radio ServiceLeave a comment

The San Francisco Giants Brandon Belt heads on home after a three run home run in the first inning off of Los Angeles Dodger starter Julio Urias on Tuesday night at Oracle Park in San Francisco. The game wound up going 11 innnings when Donavon Solano hit a two run homer for the gamer. (photo from ap news)

By Jeremy Kahn

SAN FRANCISCO-Donovan Solano ended the game with one swing of the bat and gave the San Francisco Giants a huge victory.

Solano hit a two-run home run in the bottom of the 11th inning, giving the Giants an incomparable 10-8 victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers, their seventh win in a row. This was the first career walk-off home run of Solanos career.

Mike Yastrzemski, who was 0-for-6 at the plate scored the tying run, as Evan Longoria singled to right field and then Solano ended it, when he launched a Dennis Santana pitch into the left field bleachers to give them the victory.

Justin Turner gave the Dodgers the lead for the second time in as many innings, as he beat out a dribbler back to the mound and no one was covering at first base. The Turner single scored Will Smith, who started the inning at second base and then went to third on a Corey Seager ground out.

Things got weird when the new rule of a runner on second base when extra innings begin bit both teams in the rear end.

Turner was on second base when the top of the 10th inning began, and then reached third on a passed ball by Joey Bart, and then scored on a Bart throwing error that gave the Dodgers a 7-6 lead.

Since Bart made the last out for the Giants in the bottom of the ninth inning, he went to second when the bottom of the 10th inning began.

Bart went to third on a Steven Duggar ground out, and then Brandon Crawford struck out for the second out of the inning, Mauricio Dubon hit a ground ball that Turner fielded at third base; however, he was unable to recover and get Dubon at first to end the game and Bart scored the tying run.

Brandon Belt tied up the game in the bottom of the ninth inning, as he hit his second home run of the game off of Dodgers closer Kenley Jansen.

Max Muncy gave the Dodgers an early 3-0 lead, as he slammed a three-run home run onto the right-center field arcade in the top of the first inning.

That lead did not last long, as Belt tied it up in the bottom of the first inning, as he hit the first pitch saw from Julio Urias and planted it into the center field bleachers.

It was a tough night for Giants starter Johnny Cueto, who lasted just four innings, allowing six runs on eight hits, walking just one and striking out six, as he did not fare in the decision

Urias also went four innings, allowing four runs on six hits, walking three and striking out six; however, he also did not fare in the decision.

Muncy, who got the Dodgers on the board in the top of the first inning, added another RBI in that third inning, as he walked against Cueto with the bases loaded to score Turner from third base. Turner singled after the Seager home run, then Cody Bellinger doubled Turner to third base and then scored on a wild pitch by Cueto.

Seager gave the Dodgers a 4-3 lead in the top of the third inning, as he homered off of Cueto for what looked like the game-winning run until Belts heroics in the bottom of the ninth inning.

Joc Pederson gave the Dodgers a three-run lead when he doubled to right field to score Bellinger.

Belt cut the Dodgers lead down to two runs in the bottom of the fifth inning, as he doubled in Longoria, who led off the inning with a single.

It was a big night for Belt and Longoria, who went a combined 8-for-10 at the plate with two home runs with six runs batted in.

The Giants loaded the bases in the bottom of the seventh inning, as Longoria and Belt each singled and then Solano reached on a fielding error and then Bart grounded into a double play that scored Longoria from third base. Bart was originally called safe; however, Dodgers manager Dave Roberts challenged the call and it was reversed after a short review. Unfortunately, came the rally to a screeching halt, when pinch hitter Pablo Sandoval struck out to end the inning and the threat.

In the victory, the Giants bullpen, which has been under a lot of scrutiny after blowing late leads recently, seemed in tip top shape, as they pitched the final seven innings and the combination, of Andrew Suarez, Trevor Gott, Wandy Peralta, Sam Coonrod, Shawn Anderson Caleb Baragar Jarlin Garcia, Tyler Rogers and Sam Selman gave up two runs on four hits, walked four and struck out seven in relief of Cueto. Selman, who pitched the 11th inning, won his first game of the season.

NOTES: Brandon Belt’s 9th-inning game-tying HR off Kenley Jansen is the 1st game-tying HR by a Giants player vs the Dodgers in the 9th inning or later since Mark Lewis on July 12, 1997 in LA. 1st at HOME since Barry Bonds on June 20 that season. Both off Todd Worrell. Thank you Sarah Langs for that note.

Andrew McCutchen came up with the last Giants walk-off home run against the Dodgers on April 7, 2018 off of Wilmer Font. In that game, McCutchen went 6-for-7 against Dodgers pitching.

UP NEXT: Kevin Gausman will take the mound on Wednesday night for the Giants, while the Dodgers will counter with Clayton Kershaw.

A’s get back on winning track win a laugher 10-3 over Rangers

Published on by rxsluggerLeave a comment

By Jerry Feitelberg
The A’s bounced back to beat the Texas Rangers 10-3 Tuesday evening at Globe Life Field in Arlington, Texas. The A’s scored four runs on two two-run home runs. They scored a run in the fourth without the benefit of a hit. In the seventh, they scored five runs on just two singles and a double. Each team had eight hits, but the A’s scored ten times compared to Texas’ three.
A’s lefty Sean Manaea won his second game of the year. He struggled earlier in the season. Manaea went five innings and gave up six hits and three runs. Only one run was earned. The A’s bullpen allowed just two hits and no runs over the last four innings.

The Rangers scored the first run of the night in the bottom of the second. Designated hitter Jose Trevino doubled with one out. Shortstop Isiah Kiner-Falefa singled to drive in Trevino to make it 1-0. The A’s tied the game in the top of the third. Rangers’ starter Kyle Gibson walked Tony Kemp and Jonah Heim to put men on at first and second with no out. Marcus Semien hit into a 5-4-3 double play. Kemp went to third on the play. Kemp scored when Gibson uncorked a wild pitch.

Oakland took a 3-1 lead in the top of the fourth. With one out and Mark Canha on first, A’s first baseman, Matt Olson, slammed his tenth big fly into the deep right-centerfield. The ball went 453 feet. Oakland added two more in the fifth. A’s second baseman started the inning when a pitch hit him on the back of his left foot. Marcus Semien hit his fifth dinger of the year to make in 5-1. Texas scored twice in their half of the inning. Manaea hit Rangers’ catcher, Robinson Chirinos, with a pitch. Kiner-Falefa singled. Marcus Semien committed a fielding error that allowed Yadiel Rivera to reach safely. Manaea struck out Leody Tavares for the second out. Left fielder Nick Solak singled to drive in Chirinos and Kiner-Falefa. Manaea retired Todd Frazier to end the inning. Both runs were unearned—the A’s lead 5-3 after five.
In the top of the seventh, the A’s broke the game open. They had two singles, a bases-clearing double, two walks, a hit batter, and an unusual fielder’s choice. Tony Kemp singled to get the rally going. Catcher Jonah Heim, playing in his first Major League game, singled to send Kemp to third. On the next play, Semien hit a sharp ground ball to Rangers’ third baseman Todd Frazier. Frazier threw home to get Kemp. Kemp was caught in a rundown. Somehow, Kemp was able to slide back into third base safely. It was unbelievable as he eluded Frazier’s attempt to tag him out. The A’s now had the bases loaded with one out. Robbie Grossman walked to drive in Kemp. Mark Canha was hit by a pitch to force in Heim, and the bases were still loaded. A’s right fielder Stephen Piscotty doubled to left to clear the bases. The A’s lead 10-3.
The A’s relievers, T.J.McFarland, Lou Trivino, and Jordan Weems, kept the Rangers off the board to preserve the win for Manaea.

Game Notes- with the win, the A’s improved to 21-10. The Rangers are now 11-18. The A’s have a four-game lead over the Houston Astros in the race for the top spot in the AL West.
The A’s, as a team, are hitting just .225. They rank 25th in that department. They are eighth in baseball in home runs. They are hitting .215 with runners in scoring position. They struck out ten times Tuesday night and have struck out 311 times so far this year. Matt Chapman struck out three times for the second night in a row.

Chad Pinder was not with the team as he is on paternity leave. The A’s recalled Seth Brown to take his place.
Game three of the four-game series will be played Wednesday night at Globe Life Field. The game will start at 5:05 pm.
Mike Fiers (3-1, 5.81 ERA) will go for Oakland. Lefty Kolby Allard will be on the hill for Texas.

Pence was given his unconditional release Sat Aug 22 before the Angels-Giants game at Oracle Park. (sfgate.com file photo)

Headline Sports podcast with Barbara:

#1 One thing you could say about the departure of former Giants outfielder Hunter Pence he understood the move by Giants manager Gabe Kapler after Pence hit .096, started the season 0-23 and lost a fly ball in the lights at Dodger Stadium a play that broke up pitcher Johnny Cueto’s no hitter.

#2 Pence left the team with class saying that he knew the time was coming and that he knew he had to bring more to the table than what he was.

#3 Pence said that the pandemic was first and foremost concern right now over baseball that being released by the Giants is not as important as other people’s health and he was really more focused on that.

#4 Turning to the NBA after losing four straight playoff games to the Boston Celtics the Philadelphia 76ers fired head coach Brett Brown on Monday. The 76ers general manager Elton Brand indicated there will be more front office changes. Critics of Brown said that the 76ers didn’t use Ben Simmons enough.

#5 The Milwaukee Bucks who are some 1,000 miles away playing in a bubble in Orlando shared their feeling about Kenosha Wisconsin resident Jacob Blake who was shot in the back seven times by police as Blake was trying to get into his car, Blake survived but is paralyzed. The Bucks George Hill said that the police are disappointed they didn’t kill Blake because they wanted him dead and Hill added thank God he’s alive.

Rangers snap eight-game losing streak beat A’s 3-2; Falefa homer in second get Rangers the gamer

By Jerry Feitelberg

The Oakland A’s started a ten-game rod trip on a sour note. The A’s, winners of four of the last five and eight of the previous eleven, faced the Texas Rangers’ ace, Lance Lynn Monday night, and Lynn did his job allowing five hits and two runs in six and two thirds innings of work. The Rangers won 3-2.

The Rangers snapped an eight-game losing streak Monday night. They limped home after losing two to San Diego and three to the Mariners in Seattle. The A’s always want to get off to a good start on the road by winning the first game.

Alas, that did not happen. Watching the A’s play, the last eight games reminded me of the 2010 San Francisco Giants. That year the Giants won the World Series, but watching the games was “torture.”

The A’s have won, but they have not been able to get their offense going. The A’s had eight hits in the game. They had two hits in the first and two in the ninth. The A’s had three hits in the first two innings and then just three more hits until the ninth.

The A’s drew first blood in the top of the first inning. With two out, A’s DH, Mark Canha, singled to drive in Ramon Laureano to go ahead 1-0. The Rangers plated two in their half of the first to take a 2-1 lead.

A’s right fielder, Stephen Piscotty, led off the second with a 416-foot solo home run to tie the game. The Rangers took the lead for good when Isiah Kiner-Falefa homered to make it 3-2.

The A’s loaded the bases with one out in the ninth. Rangers’ closer Rafael Montero struck out Matt Olson looking for the second out of the inning. He then retired Matt Chapman on a fly ball to right to end the game.

Game Notes- With the loss, the A’s are 20-10 for the season. The Rangers improved to 11-17. A’s starter Jesus Luzardo, after giving up three runs in the first two innings, settled down and pitched into the seventh.

His line was six, and 2/3rds innings pitched, three runs and seven hits. Luzardo is now 2-1. The Rangers Lance Lynn’s line was six innings pitched, two runs, five hits, and eight strikeouts. Lynn is now 4-0, and he owns a sparkling ERA of 1.59.

The A’s struck out 13 times Monday night. Matt Olson and Matt Chapman each struck out three times. Khris Davis, mired in an early-season slump, pinch-hit for Sean Murphy in the ninth. Davis, who has 31 home runs against the Rangers in his career, flew out to right for the first out of the inning.

Sean Manaea (1-2, 6.39) will pitch for Oakland Tuesday night. Kyle Gibson (1-1, 4.73 ERA) will be on the hill for Texas. The game will start at 5:05 pm.

San Francisco 49ers podcast with Joe Hawkes: With injuries to Samuel and Aiyuk can the offense be ready by Sep 13th opener?

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo will depend on tight end George Kittle on offense as Deebo Samuel is out with broken foot and Brandon Aiyuk left practice with injury (forbes.com file photo)

On the 49ers podcast with Joe:

#1 Joe can the 49ers score this season how much do you see tight end George Kittle being the center piece of their offense?

#2 With receivers Emmanuel Sanders gone, Deebo Samuel is recovering from a broken foot, and Brandon Aiyuk left practice with an hamstring pull and with the regular season starting September 13th how much time will they be able to get the kind of offense they had like last season.

#3 The 49ers were the NFL’s most improved team last season their defense adjusted value went over average jumping from being number 30 in 2018 to number five in 2019.

#4 The 49ers defense finished number one against the pass and they kept quarterbacks running all day in the pocket teams had to try and counter the 49ers defensive rushing all game long.

#5 The 49ers really need to depend on quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo as the 49ers offense was fifth in time of possession last season when they got out to leads of ten or more points. Seeing some of the injuries they have right now do they have a concern in that department?
