Oakland A’s send struggling Fujinami to bullpen after only four starts

Published Tue, 24 Dec 2024 17:52:16 GMT

ANAHEIM — Oakland Athletics rookie pitcher Shintaro Fujinami is being moved to the bullpen after struggling in his first four major league starts.A’s manager Mark Kotsay said before Monday night’s game against the Los Angeles Angels that the Japanese right-hander would be available for relief duty starting Tuesday.Fujinami is 0-4 with a 14.40 ERA. He allowed eight runs on seven hits, with three walks, a hit batter and two wild pitches in 2 1/3 innings during last Saturday’s 18-3 loss at Texas.Kotsay said Fujinami was told Sunday about the plan going forward.“It’s tough. We gave him four outings,” Kotsay said. “His fastball and splitter can be devastating and in shorter stints. We’re hopeful to get him out there to build his confidence back up and just continue to grow from there.”The 29-year-old Fujinami signed a one-year, $3.25 million contract with Oakland after spending 10 seasons with the Central League’s Hanshin Tigers. He could earn an additional $1 million in performance bonu...

Family Guy skit pokes fun at Oakland A's

Published Tue, 24 Dec 2024 17:52:16 GMT

(KRON) -- The Oakland A's have the worst record in MLB, the worst attendance mark in MLB, and now, they are getting mocked on national TV. On Sunday night, Family Guy aired a cut scene making fun of the team. MLB commissioner: ‘Sorry’ for Oakland fans; A’s can compete in Vegas The scene involved a back-and-forth between two animated A's announcers:"Welcome back to A's baseball, the biggest 'who cares' in professional sports.""Bottom of the fourth now, Tim. Which Oakland A is batting next?""I've said it before and I'll say it again, Greg. Who cares?" The joke mocks Oakland's batting lineup, which features players that even the most die-hard MLB fans may not know. The team's starting center fielder and leadoff hitter is Esteury Ruiz, who had 35 MLB at-bats over two seasons before landing in Oakland. The A's may not be in Oakland for long. Last week, news broke that the A's purchased land in Las Vegas that is expected to go towards a new stadium that the team will eventually move in...

NEW YORK (AP) — After a pair of easy wins in their first two games across the Hudson River in New Jersey, the New York Rangers appeared to be cruising along to another postseason series win.Not so fast.Two tight losses at home later, the Rangers’ stagnant offense can’t seem to get anything going as they head back on the road for the next game.A 3-1 loss to the Devils on Monday night evened the first-round series at two games apiece heading into Game 5 back at Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey, on Thursday night. The Rangers, who reached the Eastern Conference final last year, opened this series with 5-1 wins in Games 1 and 2 at Prudential Center before returning to Madison Square Garden and falling 2-1 in overtime on Saturday and 3-1 in Game 4 on Monday night.“They were perfect games, we’ve said that and we talked about that,” Rangers coach Gerard Gallant said of the first two games following the latest loss. “We come home, big crowds.

Kraken lose Jared McCann to injury in 1st period of Game 4

Published Tue, 24 Dec 2024 17:52:16 GMT

SEATTLE (AP) — The Seattle Kraken lost leading scorer Jared McCann to an injury in the first period of Game 4 against Colorado on Monday night following a hit from Avalanche defenseman Cale Makar. McCann was down on the ice for several minutes before being helped to the bench and headed straight back to the Seattle locker room. There was no announcement about his injury but he did not return for the start of the second period. McCann was hurt on a short-handed attempt midway through the first period. The shot was saved by Colorado goalie Alexandar Georgiev and appeared to go into the netting behind the goal. McCann did not seem ready for the hit by Makar. Makar was originally given a 5-minute major penalty but it was reduced to a 2-minute minor. Seattle scored on the ensuing power play to take a 2-0 lead. McCann led Seattle with a career-high 40 goals and 70 points in the regular season. He had one assist in the first three games of the series. ___AP NHL: https://apnews.com/hub/nhl ...

Dave Hyde: “The Big One” era continues as Jimmy Butler makes history in Heat’s win

Published Tue, 24 Dec 2024 17:52:16 GMT

Here’s the thing about history: It’s hard to see coming. Monday night’s drama began, undramatically enough, with Jimmy Butler making a pedestrian 20-foot shot with just over five minutes left in a troubled game.“Frustrating,’ Miami Heat coach Erik Spoelstra called Game 4 against Milwaukee to that point. “Things weren’t going our way.”No one considered Butler’s shot was the start of anything, much less the start of something unbelievable that would put the Heat up 3-1 this series.How could they? That shot merely brought the Miami merely brought within what seemed like a constant eight-point cushion for Milwaukee. It really just set up the next shot, which was a Butler drive and five-foot runner.Which was followed by his two free throws and we were getting somewhere.Then came a breakaway dunk to put the Heat in the lead, and the hinges started coming off the night as Milwaukee threw a timeout to try to stop him and Butler kept shou...
