Oakland A’s outfielder JJ Bleday showing progress in Ruiz’s absence

Published Sat, 01 Mar 2025 08:21:13 GMT

OAKLAND – It had been a while since JJ Bleday added to his home run tally, so he made no secret about how good it felt to belt a two-run blast over the wall in Tuesday’s 3-0 victory over Boston.“It felt great squaring it up,” Bleday said the morning after hitting his first homer since June 23. “Those are the best, when you put a swing on it and you don’t feel it, and you spin it well and it goes over.”It was a key play in a victory that snapped Oakland’s eight-game losing streak. The streak-buster involved some early strife when manager Mark Kotsay was tossed in the first inning after arguing that outfielder Tony Kemp was safe on a close play at the plate.“It’s always hanging over us like a raincloud,” Bleday said. “All you can do is just prepare and keep working hard. … We overcame that hiccup in the first inning when Kotsay got ejected and the play with Tony, because that took a run off the board.”“Without a doubt, it got us going and kind of fired us up.”Oakland Athletics&#...

Published Sat, 01 Mar 2025 08:21:13 GMT

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — A federal judge on Wednesday denied a motion to move the trial of a man charged in last year’s attack against former U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s husband out of San Francisco, saying she wasn’t convinced the court wouldn’t be able to find impartial and fair jurors in the San Francisco Bay Area. David DePape’s defense attorneys argued that the intense publicity the case has received means he won’t get a fair trial in the city. They had asked Judge Jacqueline Scott Corley to move the trial to Eureka, a city near the border with Oregon. The federal trial is set to start Nov. 13.Federal public defender Angela Chuang said local media attention has tainted the pool of jurors. In its motion asking for the change of venue, the defense said a survey it commissioned shows many potential jurors already believe DePape is guilty of the crimes and would be unable to change their minds.Judge Jacqueline Scott Corley pointed out that the case receive...
