Oakland A’s podcast with Jeremiah Salmonson:

#1 The Tampa Bay Rays Jose Siri tied it with a ninth inning with a home run Richie Palacios got an RBI single in the bottom of the 12th inning as the Rays won it on a one run game 6-5 on Thursday.

#2 The loss was the A’s third in their last four games. Reliever Mason Miller made an appearance but was charged with his first blown save in 12 relief outings, pitching two plus innings, giving up one hit and one earned run, three walks and four strikeouts.

#3 A’s manager Mark Kotsay said with Miller on the mound he’s very confident he can get the job done. Ultimately Miller was going to run into a game like this.

#4 The A’s are not getting any scoring with running in scoring position going 2-17. If the A’s were to capitalize with runners in scoring position they might have scratched a few of those losses.

#5 The A’s continue this road trip to Cobb County to take on the Braves at Truist Park starting Friday night. The Braves are a tough customer having won five of their last ten games. The Braves are second place in the NL East behind the Philadelphia Phillies by six games.

The Oakland A’s (23-35) suffered their second walk-off loss in a row 6-5 against the Tampa Bay Rays (28-29) Thursday in game three of their series. Oakland had multiple opportunities to save this game, the most glaring a bases loaded situation in the tenth inning with no outs. Mason Miller suffered his first blown save of the season.

Game recap: The Rays got a quick start scoring three runs in the opening innings. It was a rough start for Hogan Harris giving up two home runs. Tampa Bay’s Isaac Paredes hit a two-run homer in the first inning for a 2-0 Rays lead. Tampa Bay would hit a second home run, a solo shot, in the second inning and Jose SIri had given the Rays a 3-0 lead.

Oakland went into the third inning with some work to do. Brent Rooker got the inning started with a double and Abraham Toro scored on an error for their first run of the game. Miguel Andujar singled continuing on a great run bringing Brent Rooker home and the A’s now trailed by a single run.3-2. Oakland was not finished; they would take the lead after trailing 3-0. Shea Langeliers homered for a two-run shot and Oakland had taken a 4-3 lead.

Oakland hung onto the slim lead going into the bottom of the ninth inning. Mason Miller came onboard in the ninth inning looking to close this one out. Miller faced Jose Caballero and Amed Rosario striking both of them out.

This guy has been brilliant all season finishing off games in high style crushing teams. They say all good things must end and Miller suffered his first hiccup of the season. Jose Siri connected for his second home run of the game tying this one up 4-4. Miller went on to strike the side out and this game went into extra innings.

The A’s took the lead back in the tenth inning. Abraham Toro singled in the tenth driving Max Schuemann home for a 5-4 lead. Toro leads the league with the most multi-hit games this month with 14 really coming through for Oakland in the month of May.

The A’s had a great opportunity to score more runs with the bases loaded and no outs but Andjuar grounded into a double play and Langeliers struck out. The failure to score more runs in this inning would come back to haunt Oakland.

The Rays tied this game back up in the tenth inning 5-5 and it was on to the eleventh inning in this marathon. A Randy Arozarena sacrifice fly brought Jose Caballero home leveling this game. Neither team scored in the eleventh inning.

Tampa Bay closed this game out in the 12th inning winning the game 6-5. Palacios singled Caballero home and the Rays had their second walk-off win in a row having won their first yesterday 4-3.

Game notes: Thursday the A’s and the Rays met in the rubber match of their three game series. The A’s made it contest but just couldn’t score in extra innings. Hogan Harris who started this game for Oakland went 5.2 innings allowing 4 hits, one run, 3 walks and 7 strikeouts. Tampa Bay starter Shawn Armstrong went two innings, two hits and one strikeout.

Reliever Mason Miller pitched two innings the ninth and 10th before being relieved by Tyler Ferguson in the 11th inning. This was Miller’s first blown save of the season. He went two innings allowing one hit, one run with four strikeouts.

There will not be a lot of time to reflect on these two tough losses. The team is on their way to Atlanta for a three game series with the Braves. JP Sears will take the mound for Oakland with a 4-3 Win/Loss record and a 3.88 ERA. Reynaldo Lopez will be on the hill for the Braves with a 2-2 win/loss record and a 1.75 ERA. First pitch for game one is scheduled for 4:20 PM.

The Oakland A’s (23-34) scored first in game two of their series with the Tampa Bay Rays (27-29) but they were unable to hang onto the lead falling behind in the seventh inning 3-2. They did tie up the game in the eighth inning 3-3 but Tampa Bay prevailed winning in a walk-off 4-3. The rubber match of this series will be played early Thursday afternoon as the A’s will be looking to win the series.

Game recap: Oakland’s Joey Estes had a great outing going five innings and allowing two hits, one run with five strikeouts. Tyler Ferguson relieved Estes briefly but was pulled in the sixth inning having allowed three hits and one run. Alexander took over for Ferguson in the sixth inning.

In the sixth inning, Andujar hit an infield single driving Abraham Toro home taking back the lead 2-1. The Oakland lead was short-lived however when Brandon Lowe scored off a Jonathan Aranda single to tie up the game once against 2-2.

The Rays took their first lead of the game in the seventh inning. Isaac Paredes doubled and Palacios scored for a 3-2 lead. Oakland kept the damage to a minimum throwing Yandy Diaz out at home for the third out.

Oakland refused to let down scoring in the eighth inning to tie up the game. JJ Bleday singled but was thrown out trying to reach second. Max Schuemann was able to score to level this game 3-3.

With no outs in the third inning and a runner on third Tampa Bay was in a great place to walk this game off. Jose Siri singled Amed Rosario home and that was the ball game 4-3. It was a tough game for Oakland losing in a very competitive game.

Post game notes: As in Tuesday’s game, the A’s scored first in this game. They took a 1-0 lead in the fourth inning when the red hot Miguel Andujar hit a sacrifice fly and JJ Bleday scored for the early lead. The Rays answered right back in the same inning tying up the game 1-1. Brandon Lowe scorched a triple to left and Isaac Paredes scored for the tie game.

The two teams meet in the rubber match of this series Thursday with first pitch scheduled for 10:10 AM. The A’s have not announced a starter and the Rays are starting RHP Shawn Armstrong (1-1, ERA 3.91) .

A’s Pitching Results In a Shutout Win Over Tampa Bay 3-0; Oakland’s Spence pitches no hit ball into the sixth

By Barbara Mason

The Oakland A’s (23-33) not got some great pitching in game one of their three game series with the Tampa Bay Rays (26-29) but they also got a huge sixth inning from Miguel Andujar. Andujar hit a home run with Max Schuemann and JJ Bleday on base for the 3-0 shutout in the series opener at Tropicana Field in Tampa Bay on Tuesday. Mason Miller closed out the game for Oakland in the ninth inning for his 11th save this season.

Game recap: The first five innings were an effort from both teams trying to hit off either pitcher. The A’s Mitch Spencer had a great game Tuesday. He was three up and three down in the first inning and solid in the second with a single walk.

He had three up and three down third, fourth and fifth innings. He allowed one hit in the sixth before he was relieved by T.J. McFarland. He showed off some great work on the mound today. The Rays Zach Littell was also solid through five innings allowing two hits in the third inning but he was also going three up and three down for most of the game going into the sixth.

It all came to an end for Littell as he had a rough sixth inning with Oakland breaking through for the first runs of the game. Max Schuemann reached first base due to an error by Rays second baseman Brandon Lowe.

Abraham Toro grounded out sending Schuemann to second. The A’s JJ Bleday walked and Oakland had two runners on base. Miguel Andujar came to the plate with two outs. He was very impressive in his Oakland debut going up against Justin Verlander in the first game of their series with the Astros last Friday night.

That had been his first at-bat in almost eight months and he drove a fast ball into left field for an RBI. He took that success into today’s game hitting a home run out of left field giving the A’s a 3-0 lead which held going into the eighth inning.

Michael Kelly relieved T.J. McFarland in the eighth inning. McFarland turned in some nice work allowing no hits, no runs with one strikeout as Oakland continued to hold the 3-0 lead through eight innings.

Oakland was three outs away from a shutout and the A’s sent in the “Reaper” Mason Miller to close out this game. He got behind in the count 3-0 in the Rays first at bat but finished off Jose Caballero with three strikes for the first out.

Tampa Bay’s Richie Palacios flied out for the second out. Miller stumbled a bit allowing a single from Brandon Lowe and then walking Yandy Diaz. With two runners on base Miller faced Isaac Paredes striking him out for the third out and the 3-0 shutout and once again it was “Miller Time.” This was his 11th saves of the season.

Post game notes: After dropping a series to the Houston Astros over the weekend, the A’s traveled back to Tampa Bay to take on the Rays Tuesday night. Mitch Spencer was on the hill for the A’s went 5.1 innings gave just one hit and struck out four batters. The Rays starter Zach Littell went seven innings, gave up five hits, and struck nine. After a up and down offensive patch, Oakland was ready and got their bats on track in Tuesday night’s game with that three run sixth.

Game two of this three game series will start at 3:50 PM on Wednesday. Joey Estes will be on the hill for Oakland with a 1-1 win/loss record, ERA 7.47. The A’s offense will be facing Ryan Pepiot who will start for Tampa Bay. He has a 3.98 ERA and a 3-2 win/loss record.

#1 On Sunday in the fourth inning at the Oakland Coliseum was where the Astros took charge and didn’t just get a lead, but they had a rally that deflated a ballpark. Yanier Diaz hit a sac fly and scored Jon Singleton, who got on from a double, 1-0 Astros.

#2 After the Astros Mauricio Dubon got on base from a horrendous double, Jose Altuve singled and scored Jake Meyers and Dubon, 3-0 Astros.

#4 A’s finally got on the board when Max Schuemann hit a lead off home run off Blanco, 5-1 Astros still in the lead.

Giants’ bats come to life for Logan Webb in much-needed win over Rays 11-2 at Tropicana

Tropicana Field

St. Petersburg, Florida

San Francisco Giants 11 (6-9)

Tampa Bay Rays 2 (8-7)

Win: Logan Webb (1-1)

Loss: Ryan Pepiot (1-2)

Time: 2:27

Attendance: 17,411

By Stephen Ruderman

The Giants’ offense came to life to give their ace, Logan Webb, some rare run support, and to give the Giants themselves a much-needed win, as they hammered the Tampa Bay Rays 11-2 in St. Pete.

Following a tough 2-1 loss at the Trop last night, in which the offense went 0-for-10 with runners in scoring position and left nine men on base, the Giants sent their ace, Logan Webb, who has severely suffered from a lack of a run support to the mound. Webb would be matched against the right-hander Ryan Pepiot

LaMonte Wade Jr. singled with one out in the top of the first, and after Jorge Soler struck out, Michael Conforto lined a double down the right field line to score Wade. Webb threw a 1-2-3 bottom of the first, as he set down the first five men he faced.

The Rays got to Webb for a run in the bottom of the third when Jose Siri scored on a double play ball off the bat of Yandy Diaz. The Giants struck back with two outs in the top of the fourth when Thairo Estrada hit a long home run to left to put San Francisco back ahead.

Webb pitched a scoreless bottom of the fourth, and Pepiot set down the first two men he faced in the top of the fifth. However, Jung-hoo Lee lined a double to right, and Wade hit a home run to right-center to make it 4-1. Like the fourth, Pepiot retired the first two batters, and the Giants worked some two-out magic.

Webb pitched a 1-2-3 shutdown bottom of the fifth, and Rays Manager Kevin Cash brought in Chris Devenski for the sixth. Devenski walked the bases loaded to start the inning, and Mike Yastrzemski, who has been off to a brutally-slow start at the plate, singled on a ground ball to right to score a pair and pad the Giants’ lead at 6-1. Patrick Bailey hit an opposite-field ground-rule double down the left field line to knock in a run and make it 7-1.

The Giants’ offense had finally come to life, but they were not done yet. Jorge Soler hit an absolute bomb just to the left of straightaway center with one out in the top of the seventh, and Thairo Estrada hit a two-run shot to left with two away for his second home run of the game.

Webb pitched through a single and a walk in the bottom of the seventh, and that would be it for the Giants’ ace. Webb gave up six hits over seven innings, and while he didn’t have his greatest outing, he was able to wiggle his way out of trouble. Most importantly, he had some real run support today.

“[We got] a good solid seven innings out of him,” said Manager Bob Melvin.

With the Giants up 10-1 and the game a blowout, Cash opted to have his starting catcher, Ben Rortvedt, pitch the top of the eighth. The Giants loaded the bases off Rortvedt with a double by Bailey and a pair of walks, but Rortvedt escaped the inning unscathed. It wasn’t a 1-2-3 inning,k but it certainly wasn’t the worst-pitched inning for a catcher.

Nick Avila came in for the Giants in the bottom of the eighth and surrendered a run. Rortvedt stayed out for Tampa in the top of the ninth, and Matt Chapman led off the inning with a home run to left to make it 11-2. Erik Miller came in and pitched a 1-2-3 bottom of the ninth to close it out.

The Giants’ offense clicked on all cylinders, as Wade, Chapman and Bailey all had two hits. Thairo Estrada led the way with a 3-for-4 day with a pair of home runs.

“I didn’t make many adjustments,” said Estrada, through interpreter Giants Spanish Play-by-Play Announcer Erwin Higueros. “I just kept my same adjustment, which is just looking for a good pitch to drive.”

Believe it or not, the Giants hit five home runs today after not hitting a single home run in their prior seven games. Their last home run came off the bat of Patrick Bailey at Dodger Stadium 10 days ago on April 3.

“Certainly the homers help[ed],” said Melvin, who said this was a win the Giants needed. “Scoring first in the first inning, that was big for us too. Then to be able to add on, especially in the middle innings, guys on base, got some big hits, hit some home runs. So it’s a much better feeling today for sure.”

“The conversation was all about going game-by-game, at-bat-[by]-at-bat, see your pitch,” said Estrada. “The season is just starting, we have 162 games and we knew we were going to get out of this bad slump.”

Not only did Logan Webb finally get some run support, but he also finally got his first win of the year. Ryan Pepiot took the loss for Tampa.

“We’re happy with the win,” said Estrada. “I mean, especially the way the offense worked, Webb did a great job. Seems like everything worked for us today.”

The Giants improve to 6-9, and they will try and take the series with a win tomorrow morning. Blake Snell will return to where his major league career started for the first time since his trade from the Rays to the Tampa Bay Rays following the 2020 Season. First pitch will be at 1:40 p.m. in St. Pete, and 10:40 a.m., a morning start, back home in San Francisco.

That’s Amaury News and Commentary: Tampa Bay Rays announce new Ballpark with 30,000 capacity

The proposed Tropicana Field in St Petersburg the future home of the Tampa Bay Rays (renderings from the Tampa Bay Rays)

That’s Amaury News and Commentary

By Amaury Pi-González

The Tampa Bay Rays announced the construction of their new ballpark in St. Petersburg. Their new park will have a capacity of 30,000. Inauguration and first pitch are scheduled for the 2028 season.

The Oakland Athletics in Las Vegas. Their new ballpark with capacity of 30,000 fans, scheduled inauguration also for the 2028 season.

The Kansas City Royals new stadium will have 34,500 seats with the city’s iconic fountains. Kansas City is known as the “City of Fountains” with hundreds of unique water sculptures all over the city.The Royals announced plans to leave Kauffman Stadium about two years ago.

But progress has been slow in deciding on a path forward, given the myriad factors involved in the proposed $2 billion-plus ballpark and entertainment district.

The Commissioner of Baseball Rob Manfred wanted the A’s and the Rays to finish their plans for their new ballparks before he “opens the doors” to other cities across the country looking for expansion teams.

So, why are the new ballparks smaller in capacity?

Why are the MLB stadiums getting smaller? It is not only baseball but professional sports teams have been changing course and building smaller facilities. The low attendance and new generations (millennials) viewing habits, the internet/social media, where sports now can be seen by millions even inside one of the most important gadgets we humans have today, the essential cell phone.

Baseball is a special case as MLB is a traditional game with great history. There was a time the only way to see a baseball game was in person, then radio was invented, then Television came around. Today we are in a totally different new world of communications.

In the years come franchises will be looking to build new stadiums and most of them are probably going to be similar, with an average of 30,000 capacity. However, all these park also have the potential to expand by a few more thousand seats. Did You Know? The Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum the home of the Oakland A’s is the biggest MLB stadium by capacity with 56,782.

On the A’s podcast with Daniel:

#1 Daniel, there are now seven MLB clubs who are interested in relocating for various reasons how much of a role did A’s owner John Fisher play in opening the door to relocation in his case Las Vegas and now MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred can capitalize on mass taxpayer municipalities who will feel like hostages to try and keep their teams.

#2 All of sudden the idea of relocating might not be half a bad idea they could get expansion money out of it or best yet they can get state and local tax money to do the relocation and best yet baseball doesn’t have to worry about the relocation fees.

#3 Daniel, tell us about the teams who are interested in moving unless their local government comes up with tax payer money for stadium improvements or to pay for new stadiums are Tampa Bay, Arizona, Milwaukee, Chicago White Sox, Baltimore, Kansas City and the Los Angeles Angels.

#4 It was stated the national past time is not designed to be there for generations of fans, loyal fans, long time season ticket holders it’s there for the mean green almighty dollar and to serve the MLB owners including Fisher.

#5 At Howard Terminal where the A’s originally were going to try and move to before A’s team president David Kaval said the A’s had a binding agreement in Vegas. The A’s are suing longtime Howard Terminal tenant Schnitzer Steel for toxic waste. There is also an investigation into why Schnitzer has had fires at their plant between 2018-2020, there have been five fires involving hazardous materials at the plant.
