No sweep for Rockies as bullpen implodes in loss to White Sox

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 10:29:18 GMT

To shamelessly steal a phrase from Seinfeld’s Soup Nazi: “No sweep for you!”Sunday afternoon, the Rockies were on track for just their second three-game sweep of the season. They led the White Sox, 5-3, entering the eighth inning at Coors Field. Then, “yada, yada, yada,” it all fell apart.Chicago teed off on relievers Matt Koch, Justin Bruihl and Justin Lawrence in a seven-run inning to pocket a 10-5 win.Koch gave up four runs on three hits and a walk. Bruihl, a left-hander, came in and intentionally walked Yasmani Grandal to load the bases so that he could face lefty Oscar Colas. The strategy backfired when Colas hit a two-run double to left.The back-breaker was Lenly Sosa’s three-run homer to left off of Lawrence’s first-pitch sweeper. Lawrence has not been sharp lately. He allowed a career-high five runs last Tuesday in the ninth inning, his eighth blown save of the season in an 8-5 loss to Arizona at Coors.The Rockies were seeking their ...

After being eliminated from AL West, how do the Oakland A’s find purpose in a losing season?

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 10:29:18 GMT

OAKLAND — The fan experience has been stripped to its bare bones at the Oakland Coliseum, but having a kid announce one inning over the PA system is one of a few traditions that remains. In the fifth inning of the Oakland A’s 12-1 loss to the Baltimore Orioles, the lucky kid at the microphone added a little flair to one of his announcements.“Up next, my favorite player,” the kid said over the Coliseum’s sound system. “Tony Kemp.”Kemp looked up toward the announcer’s booth on his way to the batter’s box, tipped his helmet and waved at the kid. Cameras caught the kid waving back, a huge grin on his face. During the dog days of a season destined to fail from its start, veterans such as Kemp can syphon purpose through interactions like that one.The big picture is far too bleak.With the loss, the A’s were officially eliminated from American League West contention. On Aug. 20, it’s the earliest in the season in franchise hi...

Before the year was out, they were fending off a takeover bid from Apple’s Steve Jobs.The company’s first product was Adobe PostScript, which helped spawn the desktop publishing revolution.Under Warnock’s watch, Adobe grew to...
