San Francisco 49ers annual Players for a Purpose Dinner
To kick off the 2019 season, the 49ers Foundation hosted their annual Players for a Purpose charity dinner, presented by SAP, on Tuesday evening, Aug. 27 at Levi's Stadium. The dinner directly benefited Bay Area children through the 49ers Foundation's beneficiary programming. An annual tradition, guests had the opportunity to mingle with 49ers players, coaches and executives while they dined on the field, participated in "Family Feud"-style games with players, bid during silent-and-live auctions and had a chance to win exclusive prizes and fund-a-need to raise money for Bay Area youth.

San Francisco Giants at a Glance
The Giants' Abiatal Avelino collected his first career RBI after driving in Kevin Pillar with a single to center field, cutting the deficit to 3-2 in the sixth inning of their game against San Diego on Monday, Aug. 26. But Avelino cost the Giants the potential tying run after running through third-base coach Ron Wotus' stop sign and being nailed at the plate. Avelino had attempted to score from second on a one-out single by Brandon Crawford but he was easily thrown out by the
D-backs right fielder Jarrod Dyson, undermining the Giants' rally. The Padres would prevail,
* * *
After two wins against the red-hot Oakland Athletics last weekend earned Bruce Bochy a Bay Bridge trophy in his final managerial season, a slight tinge of hope reappeared for a postseason run. Granted, with San Francisco at just .500, it seemed unlikely, but then again, so was their
19-6 record in July.
However, last week's loss-laden performances all but counted the Giants out as August bled into September. San Francisco nabbed just a single win in a six-game week, as they took on both the Arizona Diamondbacks and the San Diego Padres at Oracle Park.
On Monday the Diamondbacks put up three against Giants starter Tyler Beede, who was dealt his eighth loss of the season, to fall to a 3-8 record on the bump. Though this by no means ensured a defeat of San Francisco, reliever Trevor Gott's subsequent two-run inning brought them closer to their ultimate 6-4 loss.
Three pitchers contributed equally to San Francisco's 3-2 defeat in the second of a two-game set with the D-backs, as starter Jeff Samardzija allowed a single run over five innings before relievers Sam Coonrod and Reyes Moronta each allowed a run of their own. Former Giant Mike Leake tossed 7.1 innings for Arizona and held the Giants offense to just one extra-base hit on the day.
After an off-day on Wednesday the Giants returned to action and kicked off a four-game set with San Diego. Again, a poor start on the mound was enough to seal San Francisco's fate, this time a 5-3 defeat as Dereck Rodriguez allowed five runs over five complete innings. With Madison Bumgarner starting on Friday, San Francisco had their best opportunity to snap a three-game skid, if only they could plate a few runs. Fortunately Giants bats sprung to life, as Mike Yastrzemski and Brandon Belt each logged homers and Belt turned in a 3-for-5, 3 RBI performance at the dish. Saturday and Sunday both turned into losses for San Francisco that pushed them back to 66-70 on the season, now seven games back from the second NL Wild Card spot. Pablo Sandoval took his last hack of the 2019 season (and potentially his last in a Giants uniform) on Sunday, as he is set to undergo Tommy John surgery. Sandoval grounded out as a pinch-hitter in the seventh.
In spite of the week's losses, the biggest blow to the Giants postseason contention came in Saturday's 4-1 home loss. Reyes Moronta, one of San Francisco's key relievers, with a 2.86 ERA in 56.2 innings of work this season, entered for his 56th appearance in the sixth inning. Moronta threw three pitches before falling to the ground, writhing in pain at his right shoulder. Subsequent tests have confirmed Moronta suffered a torn labrum.
With Moronta gone, little consistency is left in relief. The Giants bullpen showed their vulnerability to late-inning runs last week and the pitching staff may continue to take hits in September.
However, with the Sacramento River Cats in their first playoff appearance since becoming an affiliate of the Giants, San Francisco certainly has talent to work with as they anticipate September call-ups. Notable among the potential Triple-A additions is veteran starting pitcher Johnny Cueto, set to make his return to the Giants lineup this month.
San Francisco already called up reinforcements for the starting rotation, including Conner Menez and Burch Smith, each who could add some much-needed depth to a rotation.
This week San Francisco (66-70, 7.0 GB NL Wild Card) will embark on a seven-game road trip with four against the St. Louis Cardinals before heading to Los Angeles to take on the NL-best Dodgers for a rivalry series over the weekend.

It is officially September and Oakland enters the final month of regular season action just a half-game back from the Cleveland Indians and the second AL Wild Card spot and a single game behind the Wild Card-leading Tampa Bay Rays.
It's feasible to say this may be the last month of Oakland baseball in 2019. After all, this postseason race has been knotted up since early July. Last year, when the A's reached the AL Wild Card game at Yankee Stadium, they held a seven-game lead over Tampa Bay.
The Athletics caught fire again after the All-Star Break but even more significantly, the A's surged against top-caliber squads. After taking three-out-of-four from the AL-West leading Houston Astros and sweeping the MLB-best New York Yankees last week, the A's established they can compete with the best. However, as mentioned in last week's Sports Today, Oakland's bullpen has been responsible for 22 losses this season. Today that figure stands at 25, after all three losses last week were due to A's relievers. This is the single greatest threat to an A's October appearance, whose offensive and defensive prowess rival the best in the bigs.
If one needed proof to confirm a strong Oakland offense, last Monday the A's put up a resounding 19 runs against Kansas City, including seven RBIs from Marcus Semien, who tied Miguel Tejada for the most runs by an A's shortstop in a single game. Matt Chapman became the first A's third baseman since 2002 (Eric Chavez) to rope 30 home runs in a single season
in this bout as well.
After a narrow 2-1 victory on Tuesday, via Mike Fiers' thirteenth winning effort of the season, Oakland found themselves in another tight ballgame on Wednesday, entering the seventh inning tied at 4. Blake Treinen, one of the least consistent A's relievers this season with a 4-5 record, allowed three hits and two runs before recording a single out. This earned him his sixth loss of the season, as the A's failed to score in a 6-4 defeat.
Reliever Jake Diekman turned in a comparably lackluster performance on Thursday, giving up two runs and recording only a solo out, though the A's held on to win 9-8 and take the Kansas City series.
These two shaky outings promoted some uneasiness as the A's headed to the Bronx to take on the Yankees for a three-game weekend set. (Yankee Stadium was not a favorable place for Oakland last season, as they fell out of the postseason via a 7-2 defeat in the AL Wild Card game.)
The Athletics dominated in an 8-2 triumph in the first matchup, earning a perfect 4-0 record against the Yanks in 2019. However, the undefeated streak ended the very next day, as both clubs headed to extras knotted up at three. The score was broken in the bottom of the eleventh, as
DJ LeMahieu walked off Lou Trivino with a solo shot.
Sunday's importance grew with this loss, leaving much of the series' fate in the hands of starter Sean Manaea, who made his first start in a year after undergoing shoulder surgery last September. Manaea turned in a solid five-inning outing, in which he dealt five Ks and allowed just one hit. Nursing a 4-0 lead following Manaea's exit, the series now lay in the hands of the Oakland bullpen. Jake Diekman recorded another poor appearance, allowing a run in the eighth to erase the shutout and bringing in Lou Trivino. Trivino also turned in a subpar appearance, allowing two runs while recording just a single out before Liam Hendriks entered in the ninth with an A's 4-3 lead. Hendriks allowed back-to-back home runs to Brett Gardner and Mike Ford for a Yankees walk-off and series victory.
This consistent bullpen meltdown is frustrating, undoubtedly, for everyone interested in the Athletics. But this is not to say there is no hope.
September call-ups are upon us and catcher Sean Murphy, who slashed .308/.386/.625 for Triple-A Las Vegas this season, will be an addition to watch. Murphy was called up on Sunday, though he did not relieve for starting catcher Josh Phegley and is yet to make his MLB debut. One of Oakland's top prospects is infielder Sheldon Neuse, who was called up on Thursday, in the wake of Khris Davis's paternity leave and recorded his first career hit with a two-RBI double on Sunday to give the A's a 2-0 lead.
Manaea, Murphy, and Neuse will be names to watch as the month strides along but their contributions will need a late-inning complement on the mound to add meaning.
Oakland (78-58, 0.5 GB AL Wild Card) returns to RingCentral Coliseum to take on the Angels to start this week before a weekend set with the Detroit Tigers.

There is a growing gap in playability for young athletes who show unique skills. They are singled out to join travelling teams and elite squads before they know how to tie the shoelaces of their hyper expensive athletic footwear.
The downside of this trend is that many youngsters are no longer running around playing just for fun.Their parents or coaches have decided what is best for their sports futures. They are told to specialize in their best sport or a sport that fits their body type. This is a recipe that is contributing to the growing national trend of childhood obesity and sports inequality.
We have seen what is happening to many school programs in sports and the arts. Many of them are now "pay to play" on the team side or eviscerated as part of cost cutting. Physical Education in many schools is ancient history. I can remember the day that you could actually play Dodgeball in PE and hit players on the opposing team low and high without being dragged into Federal court. Those of us who came from the age of Full Contact Gender Equity DodgeBall remember lobbing a high floater to the unsuspecting class airhead and taking their legs out with a screaming low liner.
There are a number of themes underlying the challenges of keeping the youth of our country engaged in sports that can help them in later life.
* Poor nutrition -- You are what you eat.
* Lack of comprehensive PE programs at schools.
* Lack of community playgrounds: Fear for our kid's safety, lack of well-supervised public playing areas.
* Rise of video games: Kids' thumbs are more developed than their biceps or calves.
* Social networking: Has led to a more sedentary lifestyle for young people.
* Lack of creativity: What new stick and ball games are being created by kids today?
* You won't be a star! Sorry, go play for another team or give up the game.
Size of Youth Sports market:
* 50 million athletes are participating in organized youth sports across the United States.
* The Youth Sports industry accounts for $5 billion dollars of spending on an annual basis.
* The level of participation in youth sports leagues is six times higher than high school and 100 times more than NCAA athletic programs.
* US youth soccer claims over 14 million kids under the age of 18 who are kicking it around across the country.
* Youth sports tournaments are a $17 billion dollar business.
Economic Impact:
* Families can spend around $2,000 a year paying for their kids' youth sports participation.
* It can cost up to $4,000 per summer for team travel if a child is good enough to play for an elite travel team.
* Money spent on sports related equipment uniforms, team fees, travel and lodging and food can easily cost a family thousands of bucks per child per year.
* If your young superstar is an elite little competitor, the total package could reach $10K or more. This doesn't include personal coaches and the time parents may take off from work and babysitting for kids left behind.
Specialization:
The statistics are concerning. A survey conducted by the Aspen Institute found that overall youth sports participation in the U.S. is in decline. 38% of kids are playing team sports today, down from 45% a decade ago. If you watched the Little League World Series the Aspen Institute's "Project Play 2020" project stood out with their "Don't Retire Kid" commercials, in which frustrated child athletes announce they are quitting youth sports.
The Institute for the Study of Youth Sports found that more and more young athletes in the 12-14 age group start to focus on one sport, even if they are multiple sport athletes.
Elite athletic talent at a young age is often misjudged by parents, coaches and others. The gold ring of a potential college scholarship or financial windfall from a pro contract can be delusional.
The Concussion Effect:
Pop Warner Football took action by instituting new rules relating to full contact. The youth football organization announced that it was banning head-to-head hits and limiting contact in practice to 40 minutes a day. Pop Warner has more than 400,000 players ages 5-14 participating in 43 states and international markets.
When you look at soccer by gender, girls suffer higher concussion incidents than boys, according to a study by the American Journal of Sports Medicine. Soccer concussions are directly related to heading the ball.
According to the American Journal of Sports Medicine the most dangerous sport is football, followed by soccer, wrestling and girls' basketball. The growth of youth lacrosse is sure to add additional concerns to the parents of multi-sport athletes.
As we learn more about the effects of playing sports on our children, the greatest headache for parents will be what to green light and when to put up the stop sign. The key is to keep our youngsters moving and giving them the opportunity to play multiple sports at their level of interest and ability.
Looking for an answer:
Many organizations are doing magnificent work in promoting childhood health and wellness. They are committed to keeping young people, coaches, parents, educational and recreational administrators focused on having young people playing for fun and fitness, not fame and fortune. Several of these groups are headquartered in the Bay Area.

Jack McInerney scoring one of his three goals in the first half. Photo: Austin Brewin. |
On a beautiful Saturday night, in front of a sold-out, lively crowd at Laney College Stadium the Oakland Roots opened their inaugural season against the Cal United Strikers with a well-refereed, entertaining game.
The Oakland Roots, coached by Paul Bravo, came out on fire. Right from the start the Roots pressured United and attacked relentlessly. They were rewarded after 10 minutes when MLS veteran and former US youth national team player Jack McInerney put it past United's keeper Kifilani Cabrera. The Roots kept up the pressure and dominated possession while United held on for life. McInerney soon struck again, putting the Roots up 2-0. United began to show some signs of life and put a few chances on goal which the Roots keeper and assistant coach, Larry Jackson, handled without drama.
Later in the first half the seemingly unstoppable McInerney found the back of the net again to complete his hat-trick. The game seemed all but over when just before the halftime whistle blew, United struck back with a corner kick which resulted in a beautiful head goal that Jackson didn't even bother trying to save. At halftime the Roots were comfortably up, 3-1, and the game seemed over except for the formality of the second half.
The second half was a mirror image of the first half, however, but in reverse. United had all of the possessions, attacks and goals. United kept pressure on the Roots throughout the half and were rewarded with goals midway through and in the last few minutes of regulation, tying the game at 3-3. Bravo tried to spark the Roots out of their slumber by subbing in Oakland-raised and crowd favorite Julio Cervantes. Cervantes' fans cheered his every move but he was ultimately unable to deliver a Roots victory. McInerney, who was unstoppable in the first half, could no longer find the back of the net in the second half. The game ended with a 3-3 draw and with a stunned crowd. Nobody wanted the game to end.
While the Oakland Roots did not win their home opener, they certainly hosted a great block party and thrilling game. Next on the schedule is Mexican league MX -- FC Juarez at Laney College Stadium on September 8. I certainly won't miss it.

Sports Prep Star -- Jadyn Marshall
Saint Mary's-Stockton - Football - Sophomore
Jadyn Marshall made quite an impression in his first varsity start on Aug. 23. In a see-saw battle with visiting Pittsburg, the dynamic wide receiver caused havoc for the Pirates secondary. Marshall caught nine passes for 233 yards and two touchdowns. He also carried the ball three times for 21 yards and scored once on the ground. His impact wasn't just from the line of scrimmage either as he returned two kickoffs for a total of 68 yards. St. Mary's lost the game,
42-35, but will look to bounce back on Sept. 6 when it faces Central Catholic-Modesto in a key Sac-Joaquin Section showdown.
