Latest blog entries from Bay Area teams across every league
Good morning, baseball fans! Another week of San Francisco Giants baseball comes to a close this weekend, which means it’s time to pick our Player of the Week! Or, I guess in this week’s case, our Players of the Week. Because I’m giving the honors to two people this week, with a caveat that I […]
The Athletics and Giants opened their three-game series on a beautiful Friday night in front of a strong crowd at Sutter Health Park. The A’s prevailed 5-2 thanks to another solid start from starting pitcher Aaron Civale, first baseman Nick Kurtz’s latest game-changing blast and a makeshift bullpen that bent but did not break. A’s […]
The San Francisco Giants head to Sacramento tonight to begin a three-game series against the Athletics. Taking the mound for the Giants will be right-hander Tyler Mahle, who enters tonight’s game with a 5.18 ERA, 5.03 FIP, with 42 strikeouts to 20 walks in 41.2 innings pitched. His last start was in the Giants’ 7-6 […]
Tonight, the Athletics look to get back to winning ways as they kick-off a three-game series against their regional rival, the San Francisco Giants, in West Sacramento. While this rivalry matchup does not feel the same in the wake of the A’s departing Oakland to eventually relocate to Las Vegas, Sutter Health Park should be […]
The San Francisco 49ers hit an insanely rough patch of defensive line injuries in 2025. Mykel Williams flashed during his first season, especially in the first two weeks of the season when the line was healthy with Nick Bosa and Bryce Huff cleaning up on third down. Mykel’s ability on the outside and as a […]
The National Football League is obsessed with dominating the sports world’s news cycle. With free agency and the draft in the rearview, the league tries to take over the headlines by using the month of May to slowly leak the upcoming season’s schedule before officially announcing it on a ceremonial day. That day this year […]
It was only last August when I assured everyone that the Giants would finish ahead of the Athletics, but it would probably be close. That didn’t wind up being the case, as the Giants got to 81 wins compared to teh A’s 76, but there’s something interesting about going back and reading through some of […]
Picking fifth means the Rangers likely miss out on the dynamic forward they need. But there's a path back to a difference-maker, and it runs through San Jose, Braden Schneider, and GM relationship dating back to college.
The San Francisco 49ers’ 2026 schedule has been revealed, and it’s about what we expected. Now that we’ve done predictions on who plays where and what, we can do a fun one: how many games do they win? Over at FanDuel Sportsbook, the 49ers’ win total is set at 10.5 wins, with the over at +115 […]
The Arizona Cardinals knew that, despite being one of the fourth-place finishers in last year’s regular season, their schedule this year wasn’t going to be an easy one. In fact, it is the third most difficult based on the 2025 win-loss records of their upcoming opponents. Part of the issue is the fact that three […]
Good morning, baseball fans! The San Francisco Giants are on the “road” this weekend (I use that word very loosely, because they will be in Sacramento) so I think it’s time for another temp-check to see how we’re feeling about the team right now. Every time I have to take time off during the season, […]
Sometimes a split is healthy. Bad relationships, a thriving stock purchase, ordering a banana-based dessert at an ice cream parlor, your sides at a comedy club. Some splits are bad: Bowling, personalities, the ends of hair, infinitives. The San Francisco Giants going 2-2 on the road against the Los Angeles Dodgers falls right in the […]
The Dodgers scored three runs in the sixth inning to back a strong start by Emmet Sheehan to beat the San Francisco Giants 5-2 on Thursday night at Dodger Stadium and salvage a series split after dropping the first two games. Teoscar Hernández figured prominently on both sides of the ball in and around left […]
Golden State Warriors Assistant Coach Terry Stotts will be leaving Head Coach Steve Kerr’s staff after two years of service, according to Anthony Slater of ESPN. Warriors assistant Jerry Stackhouse will also be leaving the team. Slater reports that Stotts had privately told Kerr of his intentions to leave the Warriors before the end of […]
One more game to finish off the homestand. Thursday game info
The San Francisco Giants wrap up this four-game road series against the Los Angeles Dodgers tonight. Taking the mound for the Giants will be right-hander Landen Roupp, who enters tonight’s game with a 3.09 ERA, 2.51 FIP, with 51 strikeouts to 19 walks in 43.2 innings pitched. His last start was in the Giants’ 13-3 […]
After an especially tough loss — such as when you are quite literally a strike away from winning and lose — everything feels more bleak. Just as after an exhilarating win the team might feel invincible. As always the truth is somewhere in between. As I write following a disappointing loss, I see more positives […]
The NFL stacked the defending NFC champion Los Angeles Rams’ schedule with high-stakes matchups at the beginning and end of the season to maximize intrigue across the league. The Rams open the 2026 season in Melbourne against the San Francisco 49ers and close the year with two games against the Seattle Seahawks in their final […]
The San Francisco 49ers’ official schedule is out—no more leaks, although they were spot on once again. The 49ers will travel to the East Coast twice this season. They’re fortunate enough to have a bye week after one of those trips, while the second one is sandwiched in between home games against the Seahawks and […]
The A’s took on the St. Louis Cardinals today at Sutter Health Park in the rubber match of the three-game interleague series. After dropping the opener Tuesday, the A’s bounced back with a 6-4 victory last night. Taking the mound for the Athletics today is 28-year-old lefty Jacob Lopez. He faced off against Michael McCreevy […]
Game Summary Today’s game featured stingy starting pitching from both the A’s starter Lopez and the Cardinals Michael McGreevy. McGreevy lowers his ERA to 2.10. Jordan Walker and Victor Scott II hit homeruns, leading the Cardinals to a late 3-1 lead. However, the Cardinals bullpen was unable to hold the lead against the powerful A’s […]
The San Francisco 49ers selected eight players in the 2026 NFL Draft, using a couple of trades to move down the board and take their guys in a unique draft class without much depth. The 49ers entered the draft holding only six selections, but moved back in the first and second rounds to acquire more […]
It’s old news by now, but it’s worth remembering some of these smaller stories in what figures to be a long season of losing. The other night, the Giants outfielders performed a final out act?… dance?… behavior?… performance? that received a strong response from those empowered to deliver and enforce a “Knock it off.” If […]
We’re roughly five hours away from learning the entire NFL schedule. The leaks are coming from all over, but we’ll stick with the account that’s been consistent over the years on Twitter: NerdingonNFL. After Week 1 in Melbourne, the 49ers are rumored to host the Miami Dolphins. Catching the Dolphins early while Malik Willis still […]
The Los Angeles Rams will be the NFL’s second-most-traveled team during the 2026 season, trailing only the rival San Francisco 49ers. While L.A. will rack up plenty of air miles, being well-traveled does not appear to affect a team’s success or playoff chances as much as you might expect. According to Bookies.com’s Bill Speros, the Rams […]
