Nearly no-hit, SF Giants walked off by Rockies in dramatic, devastating loss

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 03:48:04 GMT

DENVER — Gabe Kapler broke one of his golden rules to dish out a dose of optimism before Friday’s game against the Rockies. The Giants’ analytically inclined manager doesn’t like small sample sizes. But his club’s past home stand provided an opportunity to highlight one.“We were a very productive offense,” he said. “It’s no secret: We were very productive because LaMonte Wade Jr. came up huge for us, Yaz got some big hits for us, Joc had some big at-bats, Wilmer Flores – the core group of veteran players that are here because they’ve always had great at-bats and done damage have helped us win five of six. That same group is going to be depended on going forward.”Just a few hours later, Kapler was reminded why snapshots in time are just that.Held without a hit for eight innings, the Giants lost in dramatic and devastating fashion. They were walked off by the Rockies, 3-2, after two runs scored on Elehuris Montero’s single to left ...

The Board of State and Community Corrections confirmed to KRON4 that Oakland did not receive a penny of the grant money because the city missed the July 7 deadline for filing a completed application. That has business and community leaders in oakland angry and wondering if anyone is in charge of the city."You didn't have to be a rocket science to fill out the grant," said Oakland pastor and community leader Bishop Bob Jackson. "You just had to do it in a timely manner. And because public safety does not seem to be a priority for the leaders in this city, it was not done." Thao will take over search for new Oakland police chief if commission fails to deliver Jackson is angry. He says crime is as bad as it has ever been and he can’t understand why those who run the city of Oakland left millions of dollars of crime-fighting money on the table by not getting a grant application in on time"That was free money for us t...
