OAKLAND — Round 10 o’clock, as fireworks boomed within the car parking zone and Barely Stoopid’s “2am” by blared all through the Oakland Coliseum, Mark Kotsay and his spouse, Jamie, walked hand-in-hand to the outfield. Once they arrived in heart subject, Kotsay’s previous area throughout his taking part in days, they stopped and took a photograph. It was one final evening to bask beneath the lights.

As they walked again to the dugout, Kotsay raised a cup to the followers who had been nonetheless in attendance. Earlier than disappearing down the tunnel, he not solely signed autographs, however conversed with the individuals who make this venue so particular. Moments later, Reba, the canine of head groundskeeper Clay Wooden, galloped from heart subject to the house dugout.

There was unmistakable magnificence in these moments. There was unmistakable ache mendacity beneath them, too.

With a 5-1 loss to the Rangers, the A’s are down to at least one, last recreation on the Oakland Coliseum. Thursday, Sept. 26 has perpetually loomed over the crew, their followers, town of Oakland. By week’s finish, the A’s, just like the Raiders, just like the Warriors, may have deserted town of Oakland. 9 innings are all that’s left of baseball at this venue. The A’s, set to as soon as once more put on their kelly inexperienced jerseys with “Oakland” inscribed on the entrance, can solely hope to ship a correct sendoff.

An evening faraway from Jacob Wilson delivering the potential final walk-off hit on the Coliseum, the A’s didn’t afford the group of 35,270 any actual alternatives to yell, to scream, to vent. The offense went 1-for-8 with runners in scoring place and left 12 runners on base, repeatedly failing to get the hit that will have their followers going hyphy.

“The ‘Let’s go Oakland’ chants had some power, some energy,” Kotsay stated. “The fans were behind us tonight just searching for that one big hit. If we got that one big hit, the momentum of the game would’ve really shifted. We weren’t able to do that.”

Oakland’s finest alternative to do true injury got here with two outs within the backside of the fourth inning, loading the bases as Lawrence Butler singled and Brent Rooker and Shea Langeliers drew back-to-back walks. With each base occupied, Rangers supervisor Bruce Bochy went to right-hander Matt Festa to face the A’s Tyler Nevin. Kotsay countered with left-hander Seth Brown.

Hundreds collectively contemplated visions of a grand slam, a swing of the bat that will evoke reminiscences of the Coliseum at its peak. As an alternative, Brown flew out, the inning was over and cheers had been withheld.

Lots of Oakland’s alternatives had been in opposition to Rangers starter Cody Bradford, who wasn’t sharp within the slightest. Bradford wanted 90 pitches to finish simply 3 2/3 innings, strolling three batters and surrendering six hits. Regardless of the early exit and excessive pitch depend, the A’s scored one, lone run in opposition to Bradford.

“A coach of mine that I played for — Rene Lachemann, who was here in Oakland — used to say, ‘Two outs hits get you to play in late October,’ in that twang he always (had),” Kotsay stated. “And it’s true. Those are big hits that change games.”

The A’s didn’t get the large hit for his or her followers on Wednesday. They’ll have yet another alternative for a correct sendoff on Thursday. Their fanbase is determined to cheer, and the inexperienced and gold are determined to ship.

“It weighs on you when you want to chase a game,” Kotsay stated. “Tomorrow will be that same situation where, with a pretty full bullpen, we’re going to go pretty strong at it.”
