Athletics touches new layer as outlined manager Mark Kotsay is humiliated by Temporary Ballpark from Minor League

Often referred to as the ‘Walk of Shame’, the non -pardonic departure of outstanding baseball managers are usually fast trips from home plate to the clubhouse via the Dugout.

But in West Sacramento, where migrating athletics plays on their way to their new ones for three years Las Vegas Home, that walk is considerably longer.

As manager Mark Kotsay discovered on Sunday, outlined managers in West Sacramento will have to have to go to their respective outfield angles about 330 feet to gain access to the clubhouse. So when Kotsay was thrown in the seventh inning of Sunday’s game against the visits Philadelphia PhilliesThe game had to pause briefly when he left the stage (field).

The As, who were streaking on an 11 game, took a 3-0 lead in the first inning, but were bound in the seventh 3-3 at the time of the E-projections. They went on to a wild 5-4 victory on the Phillies to break their slip.

Kotsay said something from the dugout after the first throw from Jesús Luzardo to Andujar, a wipe machine at the bottom of the strike zone, a strike was called, even though he seemed to be outside.

Kotsay came from the Dugout to continue the argument and gestured with an arm in Ortiz after his 15th career benefit, the first for the As this season. Kotsay then had to make the long walk along the warning track along the third base side to the clubhouse behind the Left field wall in Sutter Health Park, the temporary house of the team for 2025-28.

“I was more frustrated in the reaction that I came back from the referee,” said Kotsay. ‘And that is what we were talking about, and I made sure that he was aware that I was frustrated about how he treated me. I know that he is frustrated by my disagreement in the balls and strikes, which he may be perfect, but I think we agree to disagree in that situation. ‘

Andujar took another strike and then swinging on the third pitch. He gestured to Ortiz with an arm and was also thrown.

‘Because Andujar he thought that the next throw was at the same location, perhaps even a little higher, called for a new strike. And then he chased the Fastball, “said Kotsay. “So there is a lot of frustration in it and I think that came out and it’s okay.”

Bench -coach Darren Bush took over as an acting manager to win the victory. Since 1994, the As had not lost 12 consecutive games in a season.

Prior to the 2025 campaign, the athletics moved east of Oakland to the Sacramento area for about an hour of Oakland, where they will be in a minor League ball park for the next three seasons, hope that a more permanent house in Las Vegas will be ready in 2028.

The As are now playing in Sutter Health Park in West Sacramento, a park of 14,000 seats that they share with the Triple-A river cats from San Francisco.

The team is owned by John Joseph Fisher, who has had to deal with criticism because he has been working on the team in a routine way with the lowest payroll in MLB.

Thanks to an ‘spending Spree’ outside the season, in which they signed pitcher Luis Severino for a three -year -old deal, $ 67 million, the As now 29th in baseball, before the Miami Marlins.
