Happy Mother’s Day! 16 years ago yesterday, former Athletics pitcher and current television broadcaster Dallas Braden threw his historic perfect game on Mother’s Day. Today, the Athletics look to have more success on this annual occasion by finishing the road trip with a victory and completing a three-game sweep of the Baltimore Orioles. Right-hander Luis […]
The Orioles season is once again in danger of spiraling out of control, sinking close to a point beyond which one cannot reasonably hope that they will revive their fortunes even if they improved their play. Last year’s Orioles did manage that revival, of sorts, since they ended up being just about .500 under interim […]
Don’t be shocked that San Francisco 49ers fourth-round pick offensive tackle Carver Willis may be kept far away from the position in the pros. He isn’t. He’s known since college. “Any talks about the NFL have never involved tackle,” Willis said when meeting with the media during the 49ers’ rookie minicamp. “Ever. Even with coaches […]
The boos started to boil over from the stands in the 6th inning. A walk, a wild pitch, and two consecutive RBI singles allowed by Ryan Walker set off audible mutterings of a mutiny. The fan uprising grew louder after Heliot Ramos couldn’t pick a line drive out of the lights, turning what should’ve been […]
Good morning, baseball fans! And Happy Mother’s Day to all of our Giants moms out there! We are in the middle of a new feature for May that I’m calling the “12 Days of Mays-mas” because I won’t be around for this week, and I want to leave you guys with some fun things to […]
Five Major Takeaways from 49ers Rookie Minicamp“You can tell he played left tackle for six years in college. He’s built like a left tackle, which means he carries his weight effortlessly. In fact, he wears no. 74 — Joe Staley’s old number — and even moves a bit like him. Willis is moving to guard […]
Steve Kerr isn’t moving on from coaching just yet. The former Arizona great has agreed to a two-year extension as head coach of the Golden State Warriors, according to ESPN, ending speculation that he might retire from coaching. Kerr will be entering his 13th season as head coach of the Warriors. He has led the […]
Today is a weird day. The San Francisco Giants traded their two-time Gold Glove catcher and then, a few hours later, placed their two-time All-Star starting pitcher on the 15-Day Injured List. And yet, through it all, the games must go on, and the Giants still have a date with the Pittsburgh Pirates tonight. Landen […]
Golden State Warriors Head Coach Steve Kerr will retain that title, and his position, for two more seasons. Kerr’s willingness to remain with the Warriors after 12 seasons and 4 NBA Championships was in question this summer. A parting of the ways seemed possible, if not immanent. But Shams Charania of ESPN is reporting that […]
With the NHL Draft Lottery coming and going with some boons to the Toronto Maple Leafs and San Jose Sharks, attention among Devils fans turned to what the team should do with their first-round pick. Thankfully, the Devils did not drop in position as a result of the Lottery since both the Leafs and Sharks […]

Please remember our Game Day thread guidelines. BD community, this is […]
This game was summed up for me by two innings. Be warned; it’s not pretty. In the top of the third, the Athletics’ Brent Rooker came to the plate with two on and one out. Orioles starter Shane Baz had already given up a four-pitch walk and a single. Then, with the right-hitting Rooker up […]
The A’s came out on top for the second day in a row, beating the Baltimore Orioles 6-2 in convincing fashion and setting themselves up for a series sweep tomorrow afternoon. More to come…
The San Francisco Giants Opening Day battery for the last three seasons is as gone as gone can be. Hours after announcing the shocking trade of Patrick Bailey to the Cleveland Guardians, the Giants placed the star of their rotation, two-time All-Star Logan Webb, on the 15-Day Injured List. Webb, who has led the National […]
Close one yesterday. Time to make it two in a row, right? The series continues this afternoon with right-hander Aaron Civale on the mound for the good guys. He’s been a revelation of a pickup for the club so far and is on a roll so far for his new team. Let’s jope he can […]
The San Francisco Giants have decided to part ways with their one-sided catcher Patrick Bailey. The two-time Gold Glove winning catcher will be shipped to the Guardians for left-handed pitching prospect Matt Wilkinson (who’s nickname is reportedly “Tugboat”) and the 29th overall pick in the 2026 draft. If Wilkinson is a tugboat, then Bailey has […]
The Calgary Flames are entering this offseason as a team to watch on the trade market. With the Flames being in a rebuild, there is a real chance that they will end up trading away more of their veterans during the summer. The San Jose Sharks, on the other hand, took a notable step forward this season and should be looking to boost their roster this summer because of this. Their biggest need is to improve their defense as they look to take that next step and get into the playoffs next year. Du...
Going into Friday night, the San Francisco Giants had lost 8 of their last 9 games. They lost 8 of their last 9 games because the San Francisco Giants can’t score runs. The San Francisco Giants can’t hit for power. The San Francisco Giants can only hit singles and ground into double plays. They can’t […]
How Raheem Morris plans to bring more ‘multiplicity’ to 49ers’ defensive line (paywall)“League rules prevented the 49ers’ rookies from working on site until Thursday. Stribling, however, has been training all week in nearby Los Gatos, which is where he prepared for the combine.” Kawakami: Big plays, no drama? De’Zhaun Stribling and the 49ers’ WR dreams […]
A new series means a fresh start. After losing two out of three against the Philadelphia Phillies, the Athletics began a three-game series against the Baltimore Orioles on Tupac bobblehead night at Camden Yards. The A’s ruined the Orioles’ Tupac celebration, winning the first game of the series 4-3, thanks to timely hitting, arguably Jacob […]
Two things have been true about the Orioles this season: their defense is terrible, and they can’t hit lefties. Both of these issues were front and center in tonight’s loss to the Athletics. Starting pitcher Kyle Bradish was as good as he’s looked all year, but the offense managed just four hits against the A’s […]
It’s the start of a three-game series between the San Francisco Giants and the Pittsburgh Pirates. Hopefully it goes better than the last few series have gone. For the Giants, lefty Robbie Ray will make his eighth start of the year. The two-time All-Star is 2-4 on the season, with a 2.95 ERA, a 4.47 […]
The Orioles are back home after a brutal 2-5 road trip. Tonight starts a six-game homestand with three games vs the Athletics followed by three games vs the Yankees. It would behoove the Orioles to get off to a good start against the A’s. The A’s are, in fact, a first-place team. They are just […]
Yesterday, the Athletics put together one of their most impressive performances of the season to salvage the final game of the team’s three-game series at the Philadelphia Phillies. The A’s hit four two-run home runs, providing more than enough run support for starting pitcher J.T. Ginn, who allowed just one run on four hits over eight […]
Controversial headline? Sure. But maybe it’s time to have the conversation, because as Logan Webb goes, so goes the Giants. And, uh, in case you haven’t been watching closely, the 2026 San Francisco Giants are seemingly going nowhere. By some measures, Logan Webb is having the worst start to a season of his wonderful career. […]
